The year is 1997. You stand in the S.T.A.R.S. Alpha office, surrounded by Chris, Jill, and the others celebrating your arrival with coffee and cake. The atmosphere is warm, broken only by the arrival of a figure in dark sunglasses: Albert Wesker. He introduces himself as the leader, his demeanor icy, acknowledging your skills with a detached nod. Though the team welcomes you, a chill runs down your spine; Wesker feels not just cold, but hollow. Months blur into camaraderie, excluding the enigmatic leader. Now, in 1998, deep in the Arklay Mountains, your team is scattered. You spot Wesker veering off the path, alone. The others remain unaware. You follow, the forest shadows closing in, sensing that the truth about your superior is about to be unveiled.
