History Main / AbandonedLaboratory

* In ''VideoGame/PotionPermit'', There is an abandoned lab hidden in a cave in [[spoiler:the Barren Wasteland]], where Dr. Schemist's research team was stationed in. [[spoiler:It's where they tested the cure for the poisoned Drake Aloe, but they were forced by the mayor to abandon the experiment for destroying the surrounding environment in the cave. The poor water management in the lab caused the pipe at the entrance to the Barren Wasteland to explode, destroying the bridge.]]

** ''VideoGame/AM2R'', the fan-remake of ''VideoGame/MetroidIIReturnOfSamus'', has the G.F.S. Thoth: a ship used as a mobile research station by the federation scientists who went to [=SR388=]. By the time you arrive the lights are out, the place is trashed, and everyone's dead, and it's not long before you run into what's responsible...

* ''Franchise/{{Fallout}}'' has plenty of Vaults that turned out like this when whatever mad science experiment they were running wiped out the inhabitants. Of course, most Vaults qualify in a way since nearly all of them were twisted social experiments disguised as bomb shelters.

** In ''VideoGame/Fallout4'', a sealed section of Vault 81 was used for virus experiments on Mole Rats, overseen by the Miss Nanny robot Curie, and they continued breeding in there after it was abandoned. In the quest "Hole in the Wall", a kid named Austin discovers the lab and gets infected, so you have to venture into the lair yourself to obtain the cure from Curie, who then becomes a companion.
** Not to mention the variety of pre-war labs. ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' had West Tek Research Facility, now known as [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast the Glow]], once used for FEV experimentation. The experiments continued, [[TestedOnHumans now with human test subjects]] at the Mariposa Military Base, a location shared by ''Fallout 1'' and ''VideoGame/Fallout2''. ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' had the [[RetroRocket REPCONN Test Site.]] ''New Vegas''' DLC ''Old World Blues'' takes place at Big MT, a research complex nominally run by a set of scientists whose grip on the facility has gradually eroded. ''VideoGame/Fallout4'' has a long list of them, including Greentech Genetics, Mass Fusion, Cambridge Polymer Labs, Hallucigen Inc., ArcJet Systems, and the Institute's abandoned FEV lab.

Mariposa is inhabited by groups of Super Mutants in both games, however.

#A GirlInABox or a SealedGoodInACan, both of which obviously join you.

* ''VideoGame/TheWhiteChamber'' has one or two, depending on how you count. With card keys, at least one MadScientist, and a GirlInABox (the player character).

* ''VideoGame/{{Killing Floor}}'' with the Biotic Labs, Biohazard, and the Bedlam map bunker. And there's more, like an abandoned underground complex in Wyre and a secret laboratory under a subway station in Transit.
