Covid Antibody Response and Infection Neutralization

A simulation game where the player has to bring antibodies to battle viruses. Both of them act according to a specific genetic code. Genetic code can be determined using a specific grammar.

This is not an original gurkenlabs game. We have merely forked it from RiwEZ/KitKatCARIN and taken some basic adjustments to make the game available as a demonstration of LITIENGINE’s capabilities. Huge props to the KitKat Group for creating this game!
