About This Game

Help discover novel and chimeric pathogens and treat the strange, sometimes horrifying, infectious diseases they produce.

Examine and test patients for common and novel infections using sophisticated medical instrumentation and disinfection procedures. All infected patients must be sent to the isolation ward for further evaluation and treatment. Rumors of mysterious diseases and human experimentation are unconfirmed.

The soft-ware initially presents information about SYMPTOMS OF INFECTION.

This presentation is crucial to approach the initial phase of DIAGNOSIS, TESTING and DISPOSITION:

During DIAGNOSIS,

• Examine the patient visually

• Interview them

• Run tests

During TESTING,

• Allow the LAM-ORB Mainframe to process tests

• Initially users of the soft-ware will be of low-priority to the Mainframe

• You may request to EXPEDITE processing to the Mainframe, every click counts

During DISPOSITION,

• Make sure you identify all SYMPTOMS OF INFECTION

• Make sure you indicate the finding of infectious patterns or pathogens in the tests

ATTENTION: Some patients may present comorbidities or symptoms that not necessesarily represent an underlying disease.

The ISOLATION WARD

Every and all infected patients, no matter the nature of their infection, must be held in the ISOLATION WARD for further evaluation and treatment.

While common infections like bacterial ones are widely understood and well-know across both the medical field and the world population, some infectious pathogens and diseases remain unknown.

And while the discovery of new pathogens and diseases is by itself of major relevance to public healthcare; a small fraction of unknown, sometimes horrifying, infectious pathogens and diseases are studied in the background by both public and private institutions like LAM-ORB.

Second Phase: DISINFECTION PROCEDURE

When the ISOLATION WARD reaches full capacity, a DISINFECTION PROCEDURE is scheduled. Full information of the disease and treatment indications are given, and the procedure is performed on the patient.

LAM-ORB

The soft-ware tries to emulate as close as possible the experience, technology, and findings of the LAM-ORB organization's research during the 1970s. Rumors about the reason of the sudden disappearance of the organization include human experimentation, chimeric pathogen development, and secret medical research.
