ABOUT

Welcome Researcher,

As you may know, an emerging species is taking root—preternatural, highly intelligent, and swiftly spreading.

Classified as the Vivus glomerorum, these new lifeforms threaten to infiltrate our resilient nation. It’s up to our bravest and brightest minds—like you—to investigate and decide: friend or foe?

You have been selected to conduct objective scientific research (sensory testing, radiation resistance trials, developmental studies, and more) to piece together the truth behind the Vivus glomerorum. In the wake of a looming Telluricene, you will have an intensive two weeks to decide whether this new era comes to fruition... or is forever halted.

Your great nation thanks you for volunteering in Project Sporesight.
