Game Description
You've just woken up in Manhattan. You have no memory. You have a name...a human form...and you'll soon find out that you have limitless powers. You are the Prototype, the living end of a conspiracy 40 years in the making. Escape into a New York City ravaged by a viral epidemic and patrolled by special forces.

You have no idea who did this to you, or why. But you have a few nifty things you can do to them when you figure it out.
