Resident Evil Requiem has a clever easter egg referencing RE1 and RE0 that you probably missed

Resident Evil Requiem players will discover a clever easter egg referencing RE1 and RE0 that is very easy to miss.

Grace's Laptop refers to the events of Resident Evil 7

In fact, all we know about it is that Reddit user KnyH_82 used the freecam tool on the PC version of the game to get a better look at Grace's laptop during one of the first cutscenes in the game. Flashback to the beginning Resident Evil Requiem has a new protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, sitting in a hotel with her mother, typing away on a laptop. The cutscene gives us a brief look at the laptop screen, but Reddit user KnyH_82 was able to show us exactly what was on it using freecam.

A closer look at Grace's laptop, shared by Reddit user GMAERS_07, shows Grace using Reddit (or fake Resident Evil the Reddit universe equivalent) and you're looking at a thread discussing events Resident Evil 7. Commentators discuss the various characters who died Resident Evil 7 and theorize if it may be related to the “giant black monster” that has been sighted in the area. The thread mainly deals with the Baker family itself and what might have happened to them. Please note that the thread has MAJOR SPOILERS for Resident Evil 7so only read it if you have completed the game.

A closer look at Grace's Laptop in Resident Evil Requiem

On the side of the screen, some other threads can be seen on Grace's laptop. These include conspiracy theory threads on topics such as the government allegedly experimenting on children, alien mice on the moon called “Clingers”, people wondering if they are still infected on Earth, and people not trusting the BSAA (an organization in space dedicated to combating bio-organic weapons).

It's a fascinating detail, especially since it's basically impossible to see in-game. Perhaps Capcom anticipated this Resident Evil Requiem PC players would use things like the freecam tool to get a better look at the game and leave things like that in the game for them to discover. Be that as it may, Grace's internet habits are also reflected in her character choices Requiem.

Based on Grace's Reddit habits, it looks like she's potentially considered pursuing a career similar to her mother, Alyssa Ashcroft. For the uninitiated, Alyssa was a journalist, so it makes sense that Grace would want to follow in her mother's footsteps. However, perhaps due to Grace's experience in the above Requiem flashback where the laptop scene takes place, she eventually decides to pursue law enforcement instead and becomes an FBI agent.

Grace is an FBI agent for current events in Resident Evil Requiembut she is still very inexperienced when it comes to surviving a biohazard incident. This is emphasized by Grace's sections in Resident Evil Requiem they're slower and scarier than Leon's, which are much more action-packed. Players are also encouraged to play Grace's sections Resident Evil Requiem in the first person, which is another way it relates Resident Evil 7.
