About
The Storyline
You are a group of low-level scientists working at the ominous Umbra Industries. As you get ready to leave for the day, the biosafety alert system begins to go off. The alert announces that the entire laboratory has been sealed for quarantine and that authorized personnel have one hour to exit the facility using their ID badge.
The Plot
Making your way toward your administrator’s personal laboratory, you come face to face with the horrifying cause of the lockdown: Zombies! There is little time to try and develop a cure for the virus and escape the facility. You must use the top-secret chemicals in the lab to create a vaccine and find your administrator’s key card. Time is running out as it has already taken you ten minutes to safely reach the administrator’s laboratory…
Your Mission
You have 60 minutes to find your administrator's key card and create a vaccine using the chemicals that you are able to find in the lab. Can you finish in time, or will you be trapped in the lockdown with the growing zombie horde?
