A long running RP created by Greycat, this game involves a group of college age children signing up for some experimental medical tests that would, at best give them some minor enhancements to their senses and physical abilities. All is not as it seems as the students are suddenly kidnapped in the middle of the night by a mysterious group of solders who take them to a far away laboratory and are given the powers of old: The ability to become animals.

- Conspiracy Kitchen Sink: If there's a conspiracy theory, it's probbaly true.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: The Players of The Game likely inspired this in universe. The others are just jealous.
