Overview
Infection: Humanity's Last Gasp, a digital adaptation of John Gibson's acclaimed board game, places you at the helm of the Department of Plague Control (DPC) in New York City. As the head of a field office, you'll face the daunting task of managing the outbreak of a deadly virus. Your responsibilities are vast: deciding which aspects of the virus to research, carefully selecting and hiring scientific personnel, and strategically purchasing essential equipment.
