Story: You wake up in an undersea research lab to blaring alarms. Run!

The (fictional) game is a side-scrolling, SEGA Genesis-era shooter. You’re underwater, but the lab has clearly seen better days. It’s dripping in places you know it shouldn’t be. You splash through puddles and blast guards on the way out.

The boss battle is a multi-stage, screen-filling robot. Used to be a person? Now it’s the only thing keeping you from escaping back to your home in space!

If you beat the boss, you get the ending cutscene as you look down on our dying planet. It’s peaceful up here. What adventures await you next?
