The story follows Adam, a former special forces operative assigned a top-secret mission: investigate a supposedly abandoned underground bio-research facility and extract evidence proving the government’s involvement in funding a viral development program—one that spiraled out of control and killed thousands. What begins as a simple data retrieval job quickly turns into a dangerous search for answers. Most of the facility’s personnel are dead—casualties of brutal emergency protocols. Two scientists are missing, and Adam must track them through dark, hazardous corridors and storm-drain tunnels.(Storyline via IGDB)
