The setup
What you are walking into
You play as a shrinking scientist in a race against time. Your task is to find all the necessary formulas and ingredients to produce the antidote, in order to stop shrinking. Though processing ingredients takes valuable time – time you should use to search for missing components or rearrange the lab for when you're too small to reach the machines you need.
