Okay, so you've seen all this hype about the game, but WHAT'S IT ABOUT?

Eve and the Mitochondria

We start off with Eve. She's a young woman who's a product of a genetic experiment. Her mitochondria were given a boost of intelligence, and now those mito things are self aware of the world around them.

Ifyou've taken biology in school, Mitochondria are things that exist inside all animal cells. Their job? They convert blood and oxygen into energy. So when these guys take control of your body, you can guess it's gonna get a big hectic.

 

If the intelligent mitochondria get in your cells, they reproduce themselves, sorta like viruses, and then they take control of you. Pretty scary.

Now, we come to the start of the game.

Manhattan, New yok city.
Its Christmas eve,1997. Aya Brea, the main character, and her boyfriend, are watching an opera at carnegie hall.

 

All is well until the singer sends out a bolt of lightning, and engulf's the audience into a ball of flame. The crowd is on fire, except Aya. As the remaining spectators franticly run for the exit, Aya notices a disturbing sight. Still on stage is the singer, laughing sadistically at the flaming people.

Aya has a hunch that this lady is more than just some weirdo and asks her what she is doing. The lady responds, "My name is Eve....." .

 

It seems that the Mitochondria have plans other than to spread slime. Eve plans to rid this world of all living creatures, starting with Manhattan.

And is there a connection between Aya and Eve that allowed Aya to survive the slaughter in the opera house?

Its up to Aya and her partners to find out how to stop her.
