COVID-29

COVID-29 is a single-player, third-person action-adventure game set inside the human body. You play as a customizable COVID-virus, choosing its colors and surface protein shape, and work through different body regions to infect cells and fight immune defenses.

Combat and movement

You can punch, kick, shoot magic projectiles and attack with items. Climbing and platforming are also part of the gameplay, which includes Souls-like elements and combines medieval and biological styles.

Goals and crafting

You aim to infect as many cells as possible, kill immune cells and immune proteins, and collect resources to craft consumable biology-related items. Peptide resources are found across the maps by breaking bush-like proteins.

Enemies

The immune forces include white blood cell warriors (Neutrophils), spawner drones (B-cells), shooter drones (Plasma cells), wild spiders (C1 immune proteins) and wild worms (Protease protein).

Body maps

You explore several maps set in different parts of the body, including the airways, lung sac, nose, lymph node and vocal chords. Some areas include more specific features, such as olfactory neurons in the nose and lymph vessels in the lymph node.
