Dr. Amy Tenant, a scientist working on nanocell technology, is caught in a locked-down London laboratory after a bio-weapon attack. As the crisis unfolds, she and her colleagues must navigate the danger inside the complex.
The game is a live-action interactive thriller: players watch filmed scenes and occasionally make choices in conversations and critical situations. It focuses on narrative decisions rather than action or exploration.
Choices affect character relationships and are also used to track Amy’s personality traits. These systems can influence later scenes and endings; replaying lets players explore different outcomes, and previously viewed scenes can be skipped after a playthrough.
Players who enjoy interactive films often praise the live-action presentation, cast performances, tense laboratory setting, and the chance to see alternate scenes and endings. Others feel that the story is short or uneven and that many choices have limited effects, while some also find replaying inconvenient. Reactions to the writing and acting vary.
