The year is 2080, exactly sixty years after the disastrous COVID-19 pandemic that took millions of lives. You are employed at a top-secret lab in the Center for Disease Control (CDC), where the world’s historically deadliest diseases are contained, cultivated, and studied. From influenza and malaria to coronavirus and black death, your lab stores every virus and bacteria known to man. Unknown to the public, the government has also created new diseases such as Vampire Virus and Cornerstonitis. The revengeful errors of a disgruntled employee results in these pathogens being released, and the lab goes into lockdown. The situation is highly deadly and cut-throat - each man for himself. Your mission is to defeat diseases you come across by treating or curing them, until you can eliminate the severity of the danger and end the lockdown. If the diseases take over the lab and manage to escape, the lives of hundreds of billions of people around the world are at risk.
