HACKED

In the distant future, mankind has modified their bodies with USB compatible brain cases; allowing people to transfer memories, record dreams and download information straight to the brain. This stepping stone in human history propelled the intelligence of mankind as a whole, which in turn propelled technology to a level that was earlier labeled as "science fiction" such as; controlled cold fusion power cells and wormhole storage with a digital interface or otherwise known as "digital storage". But some people just like to watch the world burn…

An unknown black hat hacker created a virus that reprograms the human brain, sending the host into a killing frenzy. The virus was embedded into downloadable content such as music, e-books and videos. Thus infecting a large amount of people instantaneously, sending said people into a frenzy hunting and killing non-infected humans and even animals.

A white hat hacker, realizing what had happened; started working on an antivirus that would both destroy the virus in already infected people, and protects uninfected people from the effects the virus. But since the infected humans are too busy on a killing rampage they aren't able to download the antivirus, which means it has to be delivered by good old fashioned USB.

That's where you come in. As a close friend of the previously mentioned white hat hacker; you have been given the responsibility of transferring the antivirus manually. You were chosen because you have arguably superior physical ability or maybe you are just expendable.

Gameplay:

-Utilizing stealth, sneak up on infected people in an attempt to plug the USB into their jack (located in the nape of the neck). Once cured, you will then escort the cured person to a locked down facility (so try not to injure the infected, you don't really want to bring someone who has broken legs back to their senses and then have to carry them all the way).

-Use your trusty baseball bat to stagger the infected if you get found out or just if they get too close (due to the virus reprogramming the brain, the infected can surpass their physical limits; and as a result will get back up when struck).

-Use your climbing skillset to flee from a horde of infected or to get from place to place in style.
