GreenMonkey

Set in 2018 at a prestigious, specialized university, Green Monkey follows Dr. Elias Carver, a brilliant yet eccentric professor in the bioengineering department. Driven by a relentless passion to cure Parkinson’s disease, Carver and his dedicated team of students were granted funding to explore unconventional treatments. Their research took a groundbreaking turn when Carver uncovered a Japanese experiment: scientists had injected glowing jellyfish genes into marmoset monkeys to study gene transfer therapy for neurological disorders. Inspired, Carver’s team secured approval to engineer their own genetically modified primates, aiming to create accurate models of human diseases. The result? Monkeys—and their offspring—that shimmered with an eerie, bioluminescent glow, a striking trait inherited from the jellyfish. For two years, Carver’s lab buzzed with discovery, the glowing primates a symbol of hope in their fight against Parkinson’s. But in 2020, the world screeched to a halt. COVID-19 swept across the globe, freezing classes, halting projects, and slashing funding. Furious and defiant, Carver refused to accept the shutdown. He dismissed the pandemic’s severity, convinced it was overblown. As lockdowns tightened and wild theories emerged—media whispers of bat-to-human DNA contamination in China—Carver’s mind raced. He’d spent years mastering cross-species genetic engineering. What if he could crack the virus’s code himself? Under the cover of night, Carver began sneaking into his abandoned campus lab. Armed with bat DNA samples, his own blood, and an unshakable determination, he set out to craft a vaccine. Huddled beneath a flickering desk lamp to avoid detection, he worked tirelessly, unaware of the chaos brewing around him. His lab was a genetic powder keg—contaminated with jellyfish DNA, primate DNA, bat DNA, and now his own experimental concoctions. Night after night, he injected himself, pushing the boundaries of science and sanity. Three months into his clandestine crusade, something changed. Stepping into the darkened lab one evening, Carver froze. His skin emitted a faint, unearthly glow. Panic surged through him. He’d only used trace amounts of bat DNA—how could he be mirroring the primates’ bioluminescence? In a frantic rush to investigate, he stumbled, crashing into his workbench. Vials of bioengineered blood and samples shattered across the floor, mingling with a gash on his head as he collapsed, unconscious. The toxic cocktail seeped into the lab’s drain, his own blood threading through the mix. Hours later, Carver awoke to a nightmare. Piercing howls—inhuman, guttural, and relentless—echoed through the halls, punctuated by distant explosions. Groggy and disoriented, he staggered to his feet in the wreckage of his lab. The world outside had transformed into a battleground, overrun by grotesque, glowing mutants birthed from his reckless ambition. This is where Green Monkey begins. You are Dr. Elias Carver, thrust into a third-person shooter against a horde of your own creation. Armed with wits and whatever you can scavenge, you must unravel the chaos you’ve unleashed—and survive the glowing nightmare that now hunts you.
