Summary

Resident Evil: Deadly Silence, often just called Deadly Silence, takes the classic mansion crawl and stretches it across the DS’s two screens. The top display constantly shows a handy map, ammo count and health, while the bottom screen lets you tap locks, swing a knife in first‑person "Knife Battle" duels, or even blow into the microphone to revive a wounded ally. Two play styles let you choose the faithful "Classic Mode" with minimal tweaks, or the more chaotic "Rebirth Mode" that adds tougher enemies, new puzzles and fresh outfits for Jill, Chris and Rebecca, all rendered with sharper textures and the 2002 remake’s handgun and magnum models.
Multiplayer shines with wireless LAN support for up to four players, offering a cooperative escape challenge and a competitive monster‑slaying showdown across three stages and nine characters. The game also borrows the 180‑degree turn, knife button and tactical reload from Resident Evil 4, letting you skip door animations and cut‑scenes for a smoother, mature‑rated experience.

Storyline

On July 24, 1998 a string of bizarre murders erupts on the outskirts of Raccoon City. The Raccoon City Police Department’s S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team is dispatched into the Arklay forest, but contact is lost and Alpha Team – Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Barry Burton, Joseph Frost, Brad Vickers and Albert Wesker – is sent in its place. They find Bravo’s crashed helicopter, are ambushed by a pack of ravenous Dobermanns, lose Joseph to the dogs and watch Brad flee in the aircraft, forcing the survivors to seek shelter in a nearby abandoned mansion.

Inside the mansion the team discovers that it doubles as an Umbrella research facility, where the "Tyrant Virus" has turned staff and wildlife into flesh‑eating zombies. As the corridors fill with undead and other bio‑organic weapons, the protagonists learn that Wesker is an Umbrella mole placed in S.T.A.R.S. to monitor the operation.

Wesker releases the prototype Tyrant as a demonstration, but the creature turns on him and the player must defeat it. After the Tyrant is destroyed, the surviving members trigger the mansion’s self‑destruct sequence, escape to a helipad and signal Brad’s helicopter for extraction. All four main characters – Chris, Jill, Barry and Rebecca – ultimately survive, and the mansion is destroyed, concluding the Resident Evil: Deadly Silence storyline.
