You player as Dr. Pulmann, intergalactic biochemist extraordinaire! During a sensitive experiment, something went terribly wrong and you were exposed to an alien mutagen. In the wake of the aftermath, you discover that you've developed shapeshifty powers and must make your way to the synthesized cure in order to rid yourself of the (ultimately fatal) affliction.

Along the way, you may either save, or consume the displaced, endangered scientists that have been placed in jeopardy from the incident.
