You and your team play low-level scientists at Umbra Industries when the biosafety alert slams the lab doors shut: the facility is under quarantine and authorized personnel have one hour to exit. Making your way toward the administrator’s personal laboratory you confront the cause of the lockdown — zombies — and must locate a key card and use top-secret chemicals to concoct a vaccine before time expires.

What the day feels like

What the hour feels like

Alarms, sealed doors and the announcement that only authorized personnel have one hour to exit set a terse, claustrophobic tempo. From the moment the alert sounds you are working against the clock: you press through corridors toward the administrator’s office, contend with the undead, hunt for a key card and piece together a vaccine from secret chemicals — all while the minute hand moves inexorably toward lockdown.
