Epidemic

Epidemic, known as in Japan, is a first-person shooter video game developed by Genki for the PlayStation console. It is a sequel to Kileak: The DNA Imperative. Gameplay Epidemic is a first-person shooter. Like its predecessor, the gameplay in Epidemic focuses on traversing corridor-like environments, destroying enemy robots and finding key cards to reach inaccessible areas. Story Taking place in 2065, Epidemic takes place in the underground metropolis of Neural City, where all remaining humans live after a devastating virus known as the Gigari virus has infected the surface of the planet, killing anyone who is infected with it 10 days after the symptoms are noticed. In Neural City, all activities are monitored by a super computer in the middle of the city known as Sirus, which is owned by the Byflos group, the ones behind creating the city. The game follows Masao Coda, son of Kileak: The DNA Imperative's Matt Coda, who is informed that his lover, Layla, has recently been infected with the Gigari virus and has only a week to live. In order to save Layla, her doctor tells Masao that the only way to cure her Gigari is through the Lafres Flower, only grown on the surface. Despite the doctor's warnings, Masao decides to call up his old friend Jim, who he had worked with during their days in Del-Sol, an anti-government resistance group who want to overthrow the Byflos Group, and despite Masao's refusal to join Del-Sol, Jim agrees to help Masao and gears him up in his old "Protect Armor" machine, and heads to the Information Tower to gather intel on Satavisa, the only place that can access the surface. Upon getting the info he needed and heading to the Satavisa ruins, Masao comes across another of his allies from his days in Del Sol; Jeff Sanders. Sanders informs Masao that Carlos Potrero, leader of Del Sol and who helped Matt Coda during the events of the first Kileak, was taken by Byflos to its tower so they can know more about Del Sol. Sanders wishes for Masao's help, but he refuses, causing Sanders to walk away, ashamed that Masao wasn't who he used to be. After gathering the Lafres flower on the surface and curing Layla's condition, Masao tells Jim about his encounter with Sanders and plans to help him with the situation with Carlos. Returning to the basement of Satavisa, Masao helps Sanders from a robot and they return to Jim, where he fixes Jim's Protect Armor. Masao visits Layla in the hospital, who is revealed to be feeling better.
