The Resident Evil 3 demo takes place in a derelict subway, but before players are even acquainted with their undead nemeses, there’s one thing to wade through first – no, it’s not a tutorial. We’re talking about Easter eggs. The Resident Evil 3 demo is totally packed with them, as we’ve mentioned, and we’ve listed them out here.
