Got bitten by a radioactive dinner and now I've got supper powers

Abiotic Factor is basically a Best Of Compilation for every cool mechanic from an indie survival horror game mashed into black mesa as a framing device. It would be so easy for that premise to come off as trite, but it works seamlessly.

I think the key is that the NPCs don't try to explain shit to you. This is just another day at the office for them. Yeah it's the water monster from amnesia the dark descent. Yeah the Leyak works on Slenderman rules. You've seen this before. We all have.

The twist is that you have to deal with all this stuff while being even weaker than the average horror game protaganist. You have to stay fed and watered. You have to go potty regularly. You're scared of guns, and barely strong enough to hold a crowbar.

It's a wonderful anti-power-fantasy. You are so proud of your jury-rigged sawblade launcher until the fully armed Order militant explodes your stupid little Poindexter head with a .308 rifle round.

AMAZING ANIMALS BIOLOGY FUN FACTS

”Jesus Christ, what is that?”

”How is it alive?”

"What does it want?"

”Will it hurt me?”

”Will it hurt my children?”

It's only natural to ask questions like this when encountering such a disgusting creature, but rest assured- it's quite harmless!

Meet the hampter.

Hammers are Europe's largest species of insect. They are mostly found in plains, mountains, parking lots, underpasses, the savannah, landfills, trees, and shurbs. They are heavily endangered because they are too stupid to drink water if it's not in a water bottle manufactured for small animals. But evolution has produced a remarkable solution: a female hamper can lay thousands of eggs every day! Most of her young will die of dehydration, but the sheer numbers of hamspers makes it inevitable that at least some will find a water bottle and thus survive to sexual maturity.

Hapster biologist Dr. Lexapro Beaufort said in an interview, "I know of them. They like to sniff around in the dirt for seeds and grass and discarded cigarettes. They like to dig holes in the ground. They were not created by the same God that created everything else."

They can even be kept as pets! One proud hamser mommy had this to say. "Yeah, mine is named Keith and he fucking sucks. He just hides in a hole and only comes out when he hears me rattling my adderall prescription."

Wow! Truly the hater is the fascinating creature of planet earth.

i think it’s a shame that in the process of “a million dollars but you have an immortal snail following you that will kill you if it touches you” becoming a mainstream concept we’ve lost part of the original prompt, which is that the snail receives a million dollars as well
