Forget about taking down the Terminator. What if the future is about nanobots fighting viruses?
In Bacterium, an action game on Steam from Dragon Whisper Game, you are a nanobot pilot in a dystopian future where bacteria and viruses have become the dominant living things on Earth.
The human race is fighting against extinction. You were born into this war and have been tasked with treating infected humans by gunning down pandemic-spreading organisms in their bodies.
Sounds daunting... but weirdly exciting, right?
It absolutely is for me. I burst into laughter the moment I saw this game, not because I found it ridiculous or inconceivable, but because I was amused by how off-the-charts wild and creative this idea is.
