Play Resident Evil (prototype 2) Online

I remember hearing about the Resident Evil prototype for Game Boy Color years after the fact. It was a canceled project from around 2000, developed by Capcom, and it was meant to bring the survival horror series to the handheld. The Game Boy Color was a machine for simpler, more straightforward adventures, so the idea of a full Resident Evil experience on it always seemed like a fascinating technical challenge that ultimately wasn't met before cancellation.

From what I've seen in footage and read, you would have controlled a character exploring a mansion, similar to the first game. The main goal was to survive and uncover the secrets of the outbreak. The gameplay was built on screen by screen exploration, moving through pre-rendered environments. You managed a limited inventory of items and weapons, and combat involved aiming and shooting at zombies and other creatures. The pacing was reportedly slow and deliberate, with the limited hardware making every encounter tense. Playing it feels like navigating a claustrophobic, haunted house with your resources constantly in question.
