Background Story:

Metamorphosis. The wonder of nature. A creature alters its own body to adapt to its new existence, a new stage of life.

We sought to harness that power, to use our modern medical science and human ingenuity to extract from nature that essence for our own needs. It was meant to be a great leap for humankind, the next big step in our evolution. What fools we were.

At Lepidoptech Research Labs we worked for years: countless experiments, genetic engineering of caterpillars and butterfly: we bred super insects, and extracted from them the chemical components we needed. We nicknamed the drug we would develop "the butterfly effect". We were on the eve of perfecting the formula.

I still remember the day it all went horribly wrong.

The Game:

A run and gun action game where you play a lab technician trying to escape from a research facility after genetically-mutated butterflies escape.

Controls:

Use the ASDW to run and mouse to aim and shoot.
