How it plays
The game uses a fixed-camera third-person perspective. Jill explores streets, shops, offices, and underground facilities, searching for keys, ammunition, healing items, and puzzle objects while trying to escape Raccoon City.
Players navigate interconnected areas, fight or evade zombies and bio-organic weapons, combine items, solve environmental puzzles, and make occasional live selections that can alter short sequences. Carlos Oliveira is playable during specific sections, and the game includes a separate Mercenaries mode after completion.
Plan your run
Conserve ammunition by avoiding ordinary zombies when the route allows it, especially in narrow corridors where retreat is possible.

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is a survival-horror action adventure developed and published by Capcom for the original PlayStation. It follows former S.T.A.R.S. officer Jill Valentine during the collapse of Raccoon City, where she must escape the spreading T-virus outbreak while being hunted by the experimental Nemesis. The game combines exploration, puzzle solving, item management, and third-person combat with a more action-oriented pace than earlier entries. Its branching live-selection moments add limited decisions during stressful encounters. The game was well received for its atmosphere, enemy design, and Nemesis encounters, although some critics considered it shorter and more combat-focused than Resident Evil 2.
