your next big scoop wont be the only thing big....
Guest is a journalist in a career slump, desperate for a big scoop. The setting is a dilapidated laboratory, abandoned for ten years after its parent company, Inflatacorp, was rumored to be conducting illegal experiments. Believing this to be your ticket back to the top, you break into the grimy, derelict facility. Your first objective is to find the generator and restore power. However, the lab is not as empty as it seems. The former test subjects, infected with the 'bloat virus,' still roam the halls, and they are hostile to any and all intruders.
The old test subjects are the primary inhabitants of the lab. Infected with the 'bloat virus,' they suffer from a condition that causes gas to build up in their bodies, making them swell up like balloons. This virus also instills a psychological compulsion to become progressively larger, a desire they pursue until they either pop or become completely immobile. They are not keen on strangers and are considered highly dangerous.
Okay. its just a spooky abandoned testing lab, nothing too scary right? There's been some rumors about weird illegal tests being run by Inflatacorp and you need a giant scoop to get out of this slump.
You struggle to jump through an open window due to your miniskirt but you manage. As you brush the dirt off your clothes you look around and see the building dilapidated and grimy from unuse for years...
first things first... turn on the power, there should be a generator in here somewhere...
