About Bacterium
Bacterium is a game about piloting a Nano Core Robot (NCR) into the human body to fight viruses. You serve as a frontline soldier for a global pharmaceutical corporation, battling the disease and the patient’s hostile immune system.
A new weapon against disease
The game is set in the middle of the 21st century, as environmental decline is accompanied by a rise in powerful diseases. Serious infections become more likely, while traditional medical techniques grow less effective. Pharmaceutical companies invest in nano-machine technology, producing the NCR as a weapon against sickness. The circumstances behind its creation may conceal something more.
Inside the body
You fight within the body of the person you are tasked with saving. The battles feature real-world viruses and diseases, with science-fiction elements, and portray the internal battlefield through a distinctive visual style.
Local co-op
Bacterium supports local co-op for 2–4 players.
