Resident Evil: The Other Survivors, an upcoming fan-made total conversion for Resident Evil 2, has reached version 1.0 of its core progression. According to creator ALSOP, the project can now be played from the beginning through the planned main story, although cutscenes and other finishing touches are still in development.

The project explores untold stories from the Raccoon City outbreak, focusing on people who were trying to survive away from the main events of Resident Evil 2. Its scenarios combine original characters and situations with familiar locations from Resident Evil 2 and the original Resident Evil.One of the main protagonists is Frank Williams, described as the last surviving member of the Raccoon SWAT team. The other is Keith Deadman, a former captain of the S.T.A.R.S. Delta Team and the only surviving member of his unit.

Keith’s story moves between two different periods. The main events take place during the Raccoon City outbreak in September 1998, while flashbacks return to the Spencer Mansion in July of the same year. These sections revisit locations from the original Resident Evil and explore what happened to the other members of Keith’s team.

The two protagonists also have different approaches to survival horror gameplay. Frank searches police corpses and unlocks SWAT vehicles to find weapons and ammunition. Keith, meanwhile, can see weapons and ammunition placed throughout rooms, echoing the item visibility system used in the original Resident Evil.Keith begins the story with a customized Glock 19 built by Robert Kendo. His initial objective is to investigate a radio message from an acquaintance who has infiltrated the faculty of Raccoon High School and uncovered evidence of Umbrella’s activities. Keith must retrieve that evidence and escape the city, although his mission eventually brings him back into contact with Frank.

The story later expands to include Frank, Keith, and two additional characters, Judy and Kathy. Together, they move through a combination of new environments and recognizable locations connected to the wider Resident Evil setting.

The current Frank and Keith scenarios use Leon’s data as their foundation. A future scenario based on Claire’s data has not been ruled out, although there is no guarantee that it will be added. The project’s puzzles are already complete, with the developer considering whether to include one additional puzzle. Cutscenes and other presentation elements still need work before the final release, but the core progression milestone suggests that the total conversion is steadily taking shape for fans of classic Resident Evil.
