You take the role of Kim, a low-level security guard at a Throne Group science complex, during the worst night shift of her life. This involves the Group's inventions spiraling out of control thanks to the megalomaniacal visions of the head scientist Norman Throne, ad-hoc lifesaving nanomechanical surgical procedures that grant Kim superior strength and recovery capability, but also the constant dependence on battery power, lots of guns used against enemies both robotic and human, and an impending apocalypse.
