Hi everyone!
First, I want to apologize for the late post. I recently had to undergo emergency surgery. I’m doing well and on the mend, but I am still in some pain, so thank you for your patience and support.
This week’s update is all about the story behind our game. We’ve shared a lot about puzzles, explosions, and hand-placed details—but now it’s time to give you a closer look at the heart of it all: the plot.
Picture this: you’re a lone security guard working the night shift at a desert research facility. It seems like just another shift—quiet, routine—until everything goes wrong. The alarms blare. Shadows move where they shouldn’t. Something has broken containment.
The company you work for has been hiding the truth. Deep inside the labs, scientists have been experimenting with bioengineering. Their goal was to create a chemical that could accelerate growth in plants—but the experiments didn’t stop there. Test subjects included scorpions. Not only did the scorpions grow larger than anyone expected, but they also changed—becoming faster, smarter, and deadlier. And now they’re free.
But surviving the breach isn’t your only goal. As the facility descends into chaos, you uncover something even darker: the employees were never told the truth. They were pawns in a dangerous experiment. The company kept them in the dark, and now both staff and security are paying the price.
Your mission is twofold:
- Survive the outbreak—evade the scorpions that stalk the facility halls and surrounding desert.
- Expose the truth—sneak past dangers, infiltrate the labs, and steal the hidden files that prove the company’s lies.
Only by getting those files can you show the world what really happened—and bring justice to the people who were betrayed.
Of course, it won’t be easy. The scorpions aren’t just escaping—they’re hunting. And out in the desert, with the facility collapsing behind you, it becomes clear: these creatures aren’t simply running wild. They seem to have their own sense of vengeance.
We’re so excited to share more story details as we refine the script and record with our voice actors. Seeing the narrative come alive alongside the gameplay is one of the most thrilling parts of this journey, and we can’t wait for you to experience it for yourself.
That’s it for this week’s update—thank you for following along. As always, we’re counting down the days until December, when you’ll get to step into the security guard’s shoes and face the scorpions yourself.
Until next time,
Alice
