The estate of the deranged Dr. Curien has become a bloodstained hunting ground for his horrific bioengineered creations: reanimated corpses, disfigured mutants, and unspeakable abominations. This is no random outbreak. The horrors you face were born in laboratories deep beneath the mansion, twisted into flesh-warped monstrosities that obey no laws of nature. They feel no pain. They show no mercy. And your survival is far from guaranteed. Your goal: to find and rescue Sophia Richards, the fiancée of AMS agent Thomas Rogan, who vanished within the mansion as the nightmare began. She was last seen being dragged away by the creatures now stalking these cursed halls. Every second counts. ⸻ Key Characters: • Thomas Rogan — AMS agent, determined to save Sophie. • “G” — Rogan’s silent, seasoned partner. • Sophie Richards — Missing victim. • Dr. Roy Curien — Mad scientist behind the outbreak. • Various survivors — scattered, desperate, or deranged. ⸻ Bosses of the Mansion: ⸻ Chariot (Type 27) A towering, grotesque brute clad in decayed, rusted iron armor fused into its flesh. Its pale, patchy skin bulges from the gaps in its plating, while soulless, empty eye sockets peer out from a helmet crusted with dried blood. In its massive, malformed hands, it wields a gigantic battle axe, its blade forever stained with gore. • Strengths: Heavy armor, tremendous strength, wide, brutal axe swings, shrugs off small arms fire. • Weaknesses: exposed chest after certain heavy attacks. Vulnerable to precise, high-caliber shots during recovery. ⸻ Hangedman (Type 041) A revolting, winged corpse strung up by chains, with a twisted, corpse-white face locked in a perpetual, mocking grin. Its leathery, skeletal wings stretch unnaturally wide, allowing it to swoop down and snatch victims from the ground. It controls swarms of shrieking, diseased bats that pour from its tattered ribcage. • Strengths: Fast, aerial ambush attacks, summons flocks of bats, disorienting high-speed assaults. • Weaknesses: Can be staggered mid-flight with well-timed shots. Exposed during dive attacks. Bats are fragile if caught early. ⸻ Hermit (Type 6803) A nightmarish, giant arachnid with mottled, sickly gray flesh stretched tight over twitching muscle. Its legs are barbed with bone spurs, and its glistening fangs drip with thick, green venom. Bloodied webbing clings to its grotesque form, and multiple beady, yellow eyes glimmer in the darkness. • Strengths: Massive size, rapid lunges, deadly venom, ensnares prey with web traps. • Weaknesses: Exposed underside when rearing back. Vulnerable joints in the limbs. Fire-based weapons highly effective. ⸻ The Magician (Type 0) A gaunt, horrific humanoid wrapped in what was once a ceremonial cloak, now torn and scorched by its own power. It levitates effortlessly, its pale, stretched skin pulsing with unnatural energy. Its eyes glow like coals, and it conjures searing flame spheres and plasma bolts, hurling them with sadistic glee. Veins bulge like cables beneath its translucent skin, hinting at something far beyond human. • Strengths: Levitation, pyrokinetic attacks, regenerates minor damage, lightning-fast aggression. • Weaknesses: Momentarily exposed while charging fireballs. Shield can be disrupted by sustained fire. Highly vulnerable to explosive ordnance. ⸻ Setting: The Curien Mansion estate is a rotting labyrinth of blood-slick corridors, decayed laboratories, fog-drenched courtyards, and pitch-dark basements.
