## Summary

A fan-made mod, “Chapter 0”, has reconstructed an unused prologue for Capcom’s Resident Evil 4 remake, placing Ashley Graham in the village before Leon’s arrival. It offers a rare playable glimpse of abandoned game material and expands on Ashley’s role, though the cut sequence may have been removed to preserve the remake’s slower, more ominous opening.

Available through NexusMods, the mod has Ashley navigate the village at night using her phone as a torch, witness cultists kill an outsider and see Luis captured. Its creator says many animations, camera angles and the phone-light mechanic came from unused game files, while missing sections were assembled from existing assets; it is inserted between the opening cutscene and Chapter 1.
