The latest sequel to Capcom’s classic horror survival game “The Evil Dead” series, “The Evil Dead: Requiem”, was officially launched on February 27. It has received high praise from both players and the media, and the sales volume has reached an astonishing record of 5 million units sold in 5 days. In this sequel, in addition to the reappearance of the old series character Leon S. Kennedy, the new character “Grace” also brought an impressive performance. However, the character’s appearance in a flashback sequence unexpectedly sparked a series of meme creations.
At the beginning of this game, players can play Grace, an FBI agent, and go to an abandoned hotel to investigate under the instructions of the superior. However, this hotel turns out to be the place where Grace’s mother was murdered. And when Grace returned to the old place again, a memory fragment was triggered in one of the rooms, showing her when she was young, led by her mother, trying to escape from the hotel that was invaded by unknown people, and was eventually killed in front of her.
However, this clip unexpectedly triggered many other discussions among fans. For example, in the opening scene, players can see the young Grace sitting on the bed using a laptop. When the player uses the perspective breakthrough module to carefully watch the laptop screen, they find that she is browsing Reddit, a well-known American forum, on the laptop. Not only that, the posts on the screen are discussing the Baker family incident in “Castle of Evil 7”, subtly connecting this game with past works.
In addition, Capcom officially released an art drawing of the young version of Grace. However, because her appearance at the time was quite close to the image of an “introverted otaku” in the minds of netizens, this unexpectedly triggered a series of meme creations on the Internet.
(I know she can run her own Minecraft server like a navy)
(I know she definitely has the craziest self-introduction on the fan fiction website ao3)
(She looks like she could tell you how easy it is to mod the 3DS)
(She seems obsessed with an author who disappeared in a lake in 2010)
(She appears to be sacrificing Arcadia Bay (pinching the ending of “It’s a Wonderful Life”))
(I know she will definitely hide in the tutor’s office for lunch)
(She looks like she wants to teach you how to modify The Sims 4)
(She looked like she was mentally preparing for the waiter to order more sweets)
(She seems to have strong opinions on the direction the Paper Mario series has taken.)
“Castle Evil: Requiem” is now on sale on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 platforms.
