BACKGROUND

"First there was the disaster at the mansion lab. Umbrella Corp. developed the T-virus, a muta-genic toxin for use in biological weapons. After breaking loose, living things mutated into all sorts of decaying creatures. The case was eventually closed, but Umbrella's experiments were far from over.

Can you survive the horror?

Now it's the worst possible nightmare: a new virus runs rampant. All of Raccoon City is infested. Blood-thirsty zombies, hideous mutations now overwhelm the community. When Leon and Claire arrive in town, thier nightmare is just beginning... you now control thier destiny.

If the suspence doesn't kill you, something else will..."

Plotline (needs to be ported to the wiki!)

A bizarre incident occurred in the outskirts of an American suburb called Raccoon City. It was later revealed that the terrible disaster had been caused by the T-Virus, a mutagenic toxin created by the international enterprise Umbrella incorporated for use in bioweapon experiments. The Raccoon Police Department's special S.T.A.R.S unit immediately began an investigation into the affair. The case was apparently closed thanks to the efforts of S.T.A.R.S members Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine. But the Umbrella corporation’s experiments were far from finished.
