Infestation

Infestation places you in the role of superhero Kal Solar, the sole survivor capable of stopping an alien outbreak at the Alpha 2 research colony on Xelos. The colony's crew has been wiped out, while 167 alien eggs await hatching.

Played from Solar's perspective in 3D, the game features a helmet HUD displaying direction, health, supplies, and air status. Oxygen is limited, and a separate Jetpack HUD supports movement through the colony. Two movement modes provide either view panning or shooting.

Progress involves collecting and using objects, operating computers, and finding and using an infra-red kit. To complete the mission, destroy every egg, shut down the compound, and escape in time.
