About this game

It’s 2005 and you’re going to the airport to pick up your brother, Jake. Chaos ensues as the airport becomes infested with parasitic creatures. You’ll need to unlock passages, find secrets, scavenge for supplies, and get to the runway to save your brother all while fighting or avoiding the parasites! 

Tread carefully and avoid stepping on the veins, or else the eggs will hatch deadly parasites. If you don’t deal with them in time, they will take over the dead bodies! 

You can choose to complete optional puzzles for extra supplies, additional guns, and secret shortcuts! 

During your adventure, you will meet a variety of survivors and communicate with them via flip-phone. You will have the choice to clear the path and lead them to safety…or leave them behind! 

Be warned: your choices matter!
