Even for Resident Evil standards, the story is a little out there, delving much more into the supernatural elements of the Megamycete. Rose herself is a decent enough character and we get to spend more than enough time with her. Regardless, I actually did enjoy the story of Shadows of Rose more than I was expecting. What happened to the BSAA after the village? Are we just going to ignore Mia’s involvement at the end of the Winters storyline? What about The Connections and Blue Umbrella? Remember, we haven’t actually seen anything about Rose outside of that ending cutscene in the main game, so being able to develop her character in a single expansion is a bold move. This is a much more personal story, using the Megamycete as a plot device to not only bring the village back in an interesting way, but to also delve into Rose as a character. It’s plagued by an evil version of the Duke, as well as Rose’s personal nightmares. But things are not as they seem, as she quickly encounters a corrupted copy of the village. She is troubled and offered a way to be free of her curse by communing with the remains of the Megamycetes consciousness. Rose is now a teenager living a much less than ordinary life with secret abilities powered by the Megamycete, working with Chris’ Wolf Unit, and having a rough time in school. Ethan successfully managed to save his daughter, Rose, and put a stop to Mother Miranda’s plans, but at the cost of his own life. Shadows of Rose picks up sixteen years after the events of Resident Evil Village. Spoilers ahead for Resident Evil Village.
