About the Game

In a futuristic zoo where the staff consists of androids, drones, and robots, something went terribly wrong. A digital virus known as V1RU5 has taken over the system... Now, the zoo workers — infected and transformed into zombie-like machines — rebel with fury in the very place they once controlled.

You are a cyborg primate, a forgotten government project reactivated to contain the rebellion. Fight through waves of enemies and survive.
