A bacterium slips through a cut at the tip of a dead woman's toe and climbs up her body in the dark, all the way to the brain. Each chapter is a midnight-blue gothic organ that beats harder and harder. When the colony reaches the head, the dead woman opens her eyes.
Mouse: the bacterium follows the pointer (touch: drag; arrow keys work too). Gobble glucose crystals to divide, avoid white blood cells, antibodies, spikes and valves, hide in blood clots. Click or tap: spit a toxin toward that spot, if you have picked one up. Against bosses, stay pressed against an open pustule to infect the organ. Esc: pause. M: mute.
