⭐ Plot Review

Set several years after the events of Raccoon City’s downfall, the story follows Rose Winters, now grown and trying to escape the curse of the mutating powers inside her. When a new strain of the Megamycete resurfaces in a remote European stronghold, Rose is forced to confront her origins — and the nightmarish legacy of her father.
