Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles/Nightmare Fuel
Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles manages to be much more frightening then The Umbrella Chronicles.
- The training facility from Code: Veronica is depicted here covered with Alfred Ashford's insane graffiti and littered with boobytrapped targets used by the unlucky trainees.
- The two "Alfred and Alexia" voice files, which at first appear to be them congratulating some girl named "Tanya". Then it sinks in that Tanya was some poor innocent girl who had the misfortune to be a child prodigy the same age as Alexia Ashford and possibly just as smart, which caused the jealous Enfant Terrible to use her as part of her experiments. Her decision to use cryogenic suspension to find a way to "coexist" with her T-Veronica Virus? That came about as a result of the experiments she performed on Tanya.
- To make all the more creepier, its very likely that the two people on that voice file was just Alfred all along judging by the fact that during that time, Alexia was still in stasis and the Alexia we hear in said files is using the deeper, more mature tone that Alfred uses when he's posing as Alexia. It could have easily just been his mad delusions.
- The returning monsters have been given redesigns, ranging from a slight cleanup to a complete overhaul. William Birkin in particular is downright horrifying.
- Special mention goes to Mutant Steve's redesign. In Code: Veronica, he looks downright funny, because it looks like his head was pasted on a monster body and turned green, while the fangs are only noticable in a close up and eyes aren't creepy. Now, he's got a permanent grimace that shows off his fangs constantly and the overall nature of the mutation is even worse because the player can tell that it's Steve, but it's incorporated into his monster form well enough that it's not funny, but disturbing. And his mutation is also worse, with his skin bubbling like Curtis Miller's G-Mutation and his voice acting being more convincing.
- Steve has a serial number on his arm. In the same place that concentration camp victims had their serial numbers. Let that sink in.
- The means Javier took to help Manuela overcome the effects of the Veronica virus; kidnapping girls about her age, killing them, and transplanting their organs into Manuela regularly to keep the virus at bay.
- The hidden passageway in the second to last level, which is covered in what appears to be walls of blood, cobwebs and guts with skeletons littered throughout the room. This room is where all of Javier's victims were possibly killed. There are also two Plague Crawlers in here, which are essentially giant cockroaches that hunt for human flesh.
