ZombAI Virus Game A Sci Fi Horror Story About ZombAI Virus Possession

Summary

A strategy horror game where you play as an alien entity with the objective of discretely capturing humans and transforming them into your slaves with the goal of taking over the entire human species.

Players manage their growing roster of enslaved humans and command them to recruit new humans or protect the hive from threats. With each new recruit you grow more powerful though the more people you possess increases the threat your hive will be discovered.

Players navigate the game via a map presenting the location of each of their human slaves and indicating the location of any threats. By selecting their slaves they can command them to help grow the hive by recruiting new slaves, adding new slave brains to the network, taking out threats or repairing it. More than anything players must ensure no one discovers the hive, as humans will find it terrifying and will dedicate vast amounts of energy towards destroying it.

The goal is to connect 3,125 humans to the hive forming a massive computer to power the Universe’s most powerful being, you.

Starting Scenario

Players begin the game having completed the Hives first Cell which consists of five human slaves whose minds have been networked together. They view the alien hive from the perspective of a sixth slave who connected the humans together. Players watch as the Cell powers up and then all five slaves speak in unison.

Commanding a Host

To begin there is only one human that players can control. They can ask him questions to better orient themselves or can jump right into the game. At this stage the colony is extremely vulnerable as there is only one slave who players can command. So one of the first things players will want to do is capture another human.

Capturing a New Host

Players can command their slave to recruit another human into the hive. They will present players with candidates and then they will need to determine who would make an ideal addition to the hive. Players will need to think about the characteristics of each potential slave, like whether they are likely to be missed by other humans or what skills they have that could benefit the hive.
