Resident Evil CODE: Veronica: Secrets from the Japanese Strategy Guide

Intrigued by a mysterious list of "Secret Features" from the Japanese strategy guide (Biohazard CODE: Veronica Kanzenban Kaitai Shinsho), I bought a copy of the book and I've translated it into English for everyone. There was a ton of information in here not available on the internet like the invincible zombie, Claire's slower attack speed, and how to do the "extravagant" turn.

I also summarized some of the "original stories" written in Japanese which add to the character's lore and personalities. And let's take a look at the early concept art and what could have been. Stick around until the end for a special bonus that sums up this wacky and wonderful game nicely!
