About the Game

  • Discord:S8W4vsEWeb

Jack awoke in oppressive darkness and excruciating pain. In a shadowy, foul - smelling illegal laboratory, he was being brutally tortured by the zombie virus. Convinced he would meet his end in this place of eternal darkness and despair, he instead discovered his body had undergone a bizarre mutation and somehow, he survived in a grotesque, inhuman form.

With inhuman strength derived from his mutation, he laid low the lab's tormentors one by one. Those who had once subjected him to cruel experiments now shuddered violently before him, begging for mercy and pleading for their lives. But in Jack's heart burned only the blazing flame of vengeance,he would mercilessly not spare a single soul complicit in this sinister experiment.

As he pressed on with his vengeance, he gradually uncovered a shadowy, far more sinister conspiracy hidden beneath the illegal laboratory. Determined to dig deeper, he vowed to bring all sins fully into the light—to spare more innocent lives from suffering, and to relentlessly seek justice for himself and those who had met an untimely end, no matter the cost.

The developer said

As the sole member of this personal game development studio, I have dedicated almost all my time to this lonely creative process over the past year. So, when you encounter imperfections in the game—such as occasional minor bugs or details that are less polished than those in works from major studios—I sincerely ask for your understanding and forgiveness.

Please rest assured that this game will not stop updating in the short term. To me, it is more like a child that requires long-term care. In the days ahead, I will continue to refine the gameplay systems, add new story chapters, and carefully listen to every player's feedback. The update speed may not be fast, but every iteration will be crafted with dedication.

Thank you for paying attention to this indie game. Every comment and piece of feedback from you is the motivation that keeps me going. I believe that with our joint efforts, it will gradually grow into what everyone expects it to be.
