About this game

Chaos in the Lab:

A mysterious accident helps you escape your cage in the laboratory.
You flee into the vents hoping to find some safety and freedom.

On your way you meet several other test subjects, slimes, modified rats and other creatures, some are nice, some rather not. But that's not the only dangers waiting for you in the vents of the laboratory. Thankfully, you yourself were designed in the lab to be a spy in enemy facilities, that should help.

As a spy, you have many different Abilities:

  • Dash and grapple through the vents and try not to hit any saws, trust me, it's better that way...


  • Things are getting a bit too fast for you? Well, good they built a Time-Slowing ability into you, let's hope it works

Explore a deep and expansive world of handdrawn vents:

There are a total of 3 Zones and hundreds of different paths to take!
  • Choose your own path at every turn and have a new experience on every playthrough


  • Interact with other test subjects, make friendships and play Minigames with them


  • Be careful though, not every experiment of this lab is as nice to you as most... get in the wrong parts of the vents and well...
