A mysterious traveler tells our hero Jack, that he must venture down into the dark laboratory to save the human race. Through his adventure into the unknown, he must fight his way past killer creatures, a maze of sinister traps, and an evil Artificial Intelligence to ultimately uncover a truth that is more than he realized...
