Game Mechanics
This is a survival horror game centered on resource scarcity, tactical wit, and puzzle-solving exploration. Resources within the facility are extremely limited: every bullet, every medical syringe, every battery, and every survival supply is a precious lifeline for sustaining life, which must be hoarded carefully and only used when absolutely necessary. You will find no infinite ammo, nor powerful weapons at your disposal. Only through relentless scavenging and exploration, rational modification and utilization of collected items, and precise decisions made in life-or-death moments can you endure in the desperate situation.Faced with the dual deadly threats of robots and mutated zombies, you must master stealth, evasion, and strategic combat: use the facility’s shadows and cover to sneak past patrolling mechanical units and eliminate zombies with pinpoint accuracy.
Game Plot
An unknown highly contagious virus has spread like wildfire through every corridor and laboratory of the facility, infecting the vast majority of researchers and staff. Stripped of human reason and humanity, they mutate into ferocious, bloodthirsty mutated zombies—mindless aggressive creatures that wander the cold architectural spaces, driven by an endless hunting instinct. To make matters worse, the facility’s AI robots have been hijacked by the Mother God, which views all living beings as intruders to be eliminated. And you, with a maternal induction module embedded in your body and directly connected to the Mother God’s core system, are marked as the primary hunting target, becoming the top priority on its eradication list.
