Surely, It's Just a Cold

The original concept by Zebulon Nolan was to play as a virus that infects the body and grows stronger by attacking organs throughout a 30 minute timer. With each organ, and boss defending it, defeated, you would be rewarded with a clone of yourself that fights alongside you. With this we were attempting to achieve the feeling that you were spreading and multiplying as you infect the body. Each boss defending an organ would be based around generic/over the counter medicine that is associated with that organ. For example, in our playable build we have a stomach and the boss is based off of Ibuprofen, a pharmaceutical known for being a blood thinner, but also having a side effect of damaging your stomach lining. We hoped players would make the connection. We are very proud with how the player character and Ibubrofen turned out.
