THE PLOT

The experiment has gone wrong.

Its nature was not technical, but spiritual. A contagious memetic virus escaped and wreaked havoc.

Many people were infected. They soon founded a dangerous sect, and a hostile-to-life doctrine started to gain traction.

To protect civilization from changing forever for the worse, you must perform a therapeutic intervention.

A plasma gun will be your tool.

CONTROLS

• WSAD / arrow keys – movement
• left mouse button / space key - shooting
• escape key - exiting level or game

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN LEVELS?

It's easy!

You will only need:

• Tiled editor - mapeditor.org
• desktop version of the game, which you can get in the 'Download' section below

After you download the game, check the 'mapmaking' folder for more info. All original levels were made using Tiled, so you can use all game's features and objects in your creations. Also, each level is a single .tmx file, so you can easily share them with others.
