About
Prototype is a sandbox third-person action game set in New York City during the outbreak of a mysterious plague called Blacklight in Manhattan. Those infected mutate into horrible monsters and set about killing the uninfected. Alex Mercer can't remember who he is or how he got shapeshifting superpowers, and is caught between the rapidly spreading virus and the brutal military unit sent in to contain the infection.
