## Description

The **RE Companion** app is a comprehensive fan-made tool designed for enthusiasts of the Resident Evil (RE) Biohazard universe. It provides detailed information and lore from every mainline game entry, with ongoing additions of spin-off titles to enhance the user's knowledge.

Notable features include extensive character and Bio Organic Weapon (B.O.W) profiles, an interactive in-app 3D model viewer, and an innovative augmented reality (AR) rendering capability that lets users project character models into real-world environments using their phone camera. The app also immerses fans with authentic in-game file reading experiences, integrating Resident Evil music and sound effects alongside signature page-turning animations.

Beyond lore and profiles, RE Companion offers engaging mini-games, such as a mobile adaptation of the Portable Safe puzzle from Resident Evil 2 Remake, and contains numerous hidden secrets and easter eggs to unlock additional content. It's an invaluable companion for Resident Evil fans seeking to deepen their connection with the series' expansive universe. Note: This app is informational and interactive but not a game itself.
