About the Game

The Nightmare Begins

Trapped inside a secret laboratory after a failed experiment, Peter awakens amidst unspeakable horrors. Mutant abominations roam the corridors, relentless soldiers patrol the facility, and a deadly infection silently spreads through his body — shaping him into the perfect biological weapon… or at least, that was their plan.

Survival and Tension

Plague Genesis combines the classic aesthetic of pixel art with modern psychological horror. Explore dark environments, solve challenging puzzles, and manage your resources while trying to escape. Every decision matters: the story is sequential, but your mistakes and poor choices can lead to grim and alternative endings.

Visceral Violence

When confrontation becomes inevitable, the perspective shifts and the blood begins to spill. The game features dynamic cutscenes and transitions into intense action sequences, delivering a brutal and uncensored visual experience.

  • Suffocating Atmosphere: Detailed pixel-art graphics that create an oppressive environment filled with constant terror.

  • Narrative with Consequences: A deep story told through engaging dialogue, featuring two distinct endings depending on your choices (and mistakes).

  • Action and Gore: Brutal scenes, excessive bloodshed, and dynamic cutscenes that intensify the horror moments.

  • Mental Challenge: Gameplay that blends survival mechanics, tension management, and environment-based puzzles.
