Summary[]
When Colin wakes up in an unknown laboratory, he must uncover clues to learn about the laboratory's past and solve puzzles in order to escape all while dodging some latex creatures that want to assimilate him.
Plot[]
In 2030, a virus had killed thousands of people worldwide, forcing the survivors to take shelter in massive bunkers around the world. But, in the Thunder Science Tower, in New York City, New York, a teenaged boy named Colin woke up in one of the lab's rooms a bit dazed and confused. He slowly gets up and looks around. As Colin wonders where he is a computer on a counter suddenly turns on showing a white wolf wearing a gas mask and an oversized white lab coat on the screen. Colin was wondering if he's dreaming, but the wolf then told Colin that this is 100% real.
When the wolf explained that Colin is in the Thunder Science labs, he revealed that he's Dr. K, a bioengineer, and says that Colin is a test subject. Scared, Colin demands Dr. K to immediately release him, but Dr. K refused because he believes Colin will die from the virus since it already claimed thousands of lives and he says that if Colin is to get out he'll have to get pass the latex monsters. After Dr. K had turned off the computer Colin begins to worry that he might never see his mother and father again. He tries to open the door, but then realizes that he needs a four number code to open it.
So, Colin begins to search the room for a four number code and finds the first number, a zero, in a drawer. Then, Colin finds a nine in an empty box, a four behind the computer, and a seven on a beaker. But when Colin typed the order of the numbers he'd found it didn't work. He becomes frustrated, until Colin notices that each paper that has a number has rip tears and tries to arrange them in the right order. After fifteen tries Colin finally then gets the right order, which opens the door.
When he stepped out of the room, Colin finds himself in a long corridor with three doors, including the one Colin had came through, on each side and one door at each end. He looked in one room, but it had some small white latex blobs crawling around. The next room also had the same thing. But Colin had trouble when he tried to open a third door. So Colin uses the keypad to figure out what the right combination. After five tries Colin gets the right combination and then opens the door, which reveals to have a white latex creature behind it.
Frightened, Colin managed to dodge its attacks and makes a run for the door at the end of the corridor. He opens the door, runs through it, and closes it on the white latex creature. Then Colin looks around the room, which has a lot of boxes made of cardboard and metal and a little latex feline sleeping on a pillow.
