To celebrate September 30, the day the cop inside of Leon Kennedy died, here's my most traumatic encounters in Resident Evil
This is in honour of the day Leon legally became a sad boy.
September 30 marks the anniversary of a traumatic event in the Resident Evil series. This date commemorates the death of Leon S Kennedy, who was a cop inside Raccoon City when it was destroyed by Umbrella's mishandling of bioweapons in Resident Evil 2. To celebrate this day, the author has compiled the most traumatic experiences they have encountered in Resident Evil games.
One of the most vivid and traumatic memories for the author is the encounter with the giant fetus baby in Resident Evil Village. This experience was particularly distressing as the author spent 45 minutes trying to overcome the panic attack they experienced while playing the game. The fear of being chased added to the overall discomfort and made the experience truly traumatic.
Another traumatic encounter for the author is with the spider mum in Resident Evil 7. The spider egg sack hanging from her stomach and her grotesque appearance made this encounter particularly unsettling. The author acknowledges that they enjoy spiders and have an agreement with them, but the spider mum was just too much to handle.
The author also mentions the sound of T-00's footsteps in Resident Evil 2 as a source of extreme anxiety. The blue fedora-wearing demon's pace increases once he figures out the player's location, creating a nightmare-like scenario for the author.
The memory of Little Angel in Resident Evil: Requiem brings back painful feelings for the author. Seeing Robert Kendo trying to comfort his daughter as she turns into a terrifying creature haunts the author to this day. The line "You're a cop. You're supposed to know something!" adds to the emotional impact of the scene.
The author also reflects on the bad ending in Resident Evil: Revelations 2, where they had to leave Moira behind. While not as visually disturbing as other traumatic encounters, losing a character they had worked hard to keep alive still left a lasting impact.
Lastly, the Keeper's Diary in the original Resident Evil is a traumatic entry for the author. Reading someone's painstaking notes documenting their infection with the T-virus and the slow loss of their mind is both unsettling and disturbing. The love-hate relationship with this entry stems from the author's enjoyment of world-building, but also the disturbing nature of the content.
