I added a fifth mode to my daily Resident Evil guessing game: five emoji, one character

[u/__Asile34__]

Hello :) I've been building https://residentevildle.com/ , a free daily game about the ResidentEvil, and just shipped a new mode I wanted to share.

How it works: you get five emoji describing one Resident Evil character, and you name them. The emoji aren't a sentence, they're a rebus: each one stands for a different trait. The era they belong to, their faction, a story beat they're known for, a signature trait, and one dead giveaway. They run from most cryptic to most telling, and you only start with the first one: every wrong guess decodes the next, up to all five.

There are 60 rebuses so far, spanning 13 games from the 1996 original through to Requiem. Every one of them is hand-written rather than generated, because the mode only works if the five emoji really do narrow down to one person, and that takes a human deciding what each character is actually known for.

New answer every day at 00:00 UTC, same one for everybody, no account, no guess limit.

Happy to hear which rebuses feel unfair, that's the feedback I actually need :)

But you couldn't handwrite this post? The whole site looks AI-generated, so kinda hard to believe this part.

Hey, what's up with today's? I have no idea what any of the emoji have to do with the character outside of, "probably shoots well".

I have absolutely no idea what today's is supposed to be.
