Players choose Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, each with different inventory capacity, combat strengths, and story details. The game uses fixed camera angles and tank controls as you explore the mansion, underground areas, and surrounding facilities. Progress depends on collecting keys, key items, and ammunition, solving environmental puzzles, and managing limited inventory space. Combat involves pistols, shotguns, and other weapons against zombies, cerberus dogs, and tougher bio-organic enemies, while saving is tied to typewriters and ink ribbons.
