"It's not a full game mode, but here": Resident Evil Requiem gets kawaii makeover as Capcom tries to appease Resident Evil 2 director, who's been begging for a scare-free game since 1998

Alyssa Ashcroft leads the way to escape in Resident Evil Requiem's Grace flashback.

There's plenty of beauty to observe in Resident Evil Requiem – it's called Leon Kennedy's eyes – but I can't blame Resident Evil 2 director Hideki Kamiya for being more distracted by the game's lobotomized mutants eager to plunge a chainsaw into his chest cavity. Capcom is doing its best to soothe him, then, with a special image of nearly-helpless protagonist Grace Ashcroft being choked to death.

"It's not a full game mode, but here…" Capcom writes on its official English Resident Evil Twitter account, alongside an image of infected drama queen Selena Corey grabbing Grace's head while she shrieks. Selena's eyes are sadly still jaundiced, her lips are shriveled grapes, and black bile sticks to her gums, but Capcom has also scribbled little pink cat ears onto her head, which is nice.
