The arena style shooter game play looks like it will have a fun, tongue-in-cheek style. The story:

Welcome to G.A. Romero Comprehensive, a typical suburban school that covers grades 6-12.
Unfortunately, unbeknown-st to the students and faculty, something far more sinister than mere teen hormones lurks beneath the unassuming structure.

Deep underground lies a secret research lab. Crazed but brilliant scientist Dr. Alexander Boyle performs twisted research experiments here, using sewer rats, stray cats and dogs, and even lost bums as his test subjects.
Matters come to a head when Boyle perfects a technique for sustaining life past total brain death—and creates zombies as a result!

When his newest test subjects demonstrate that the alteration can be transmitted through blood or saliva, Boyle realizes he has gone too far. But is it too late? He struggles to create a cure as the zombies break free of his control and go on a rampage, working their way up to through the sewers and toward the unsuspecting school above.
Fortunately, four figures stand in the zombies’ way:

• Jimmy Murphy is a brainiac, a bit of a geek who loves to explore on his own and to create wild inventions.
• Barb O’Dea is a Goth who just wants to be left alone—and is more than happy to vent her rage on anyone who invades her privacy.
• Mr. Savini works in the school cafeteria—but is that really who he is? He seems to know an awful lot about weapons, tactics, and combat for someone whose job is dishing up meat loaf!
• Ms. Burns is the sixth-grade Civics teacher, a bombshell all the boys have crushes on and a former political activist who still enjoys getting up in arms when she feels strongly about a cause.

These four each discover the zombies below, and fall into the role of humanity’s defenders, blocking the zombie invasion and searching for its cause—and a possible solution.

At this date, the Experiment has raised $2,185.29 towards the production costs. Click here if you would like to get in on the braiiiiiny action.
