Our take on The Experiment
Rather than relying on a conventional arsenal, the central attack uses bottles collected during exploration to operate an X-ray machine. Limited flashlight battery and listening for the creature also make movement through the halls part of the survival challenge.
What is The Experiment?
The Experiment is a first-person survival horror game about searching locations while a hostile mutated human roams the halls.
Collect bottles scattered through the environment, then feed the required amount into an X-ray machine to use its radiation against the creature. A flashlight illuminates rooms, but its battery is limited, so it must be used sparingly. Listening for sounds can help locate the enemy as it moves nearby. The game includes Remastered and Classic versions.
