STORY

BREAKING NEWS: Dark forces have been at work, locals are falling ill. Who is behind the poisoning?

"Work to clean each site will involve a process of testing, removal of items which may have been contaminated, chemical cleaning and retesting,".


GAMEPLAY

You must guide Debbie Lambaart, a specialist military personnel (part time atleast, when she isnt doing her other job, post woman), within an area infected by an unknown toxin. You will need all the dexterity, skill and courage you have to spot, approach and eradicated, using your backpack filled with decontamination fluid (made using a secret recipe known only to the military). Failure to keep on top of the problem will lead to certain death. To help you with your task is a Geiger counter, featuring an easy to use arrow system (so easy in fact, even girls can use it), which indicates levels of contamination. The higher the arrow climbs, the closer you are to death. Once an alarm begins to sound, death is imminent, so best score as many points as possible.
