This is going to be the plot to my first story-game. Tell me what you think, and any type of critism is welcome.......though it will be investigating further!.

You play as Kenneth Fields; a rookie member of the newly-created B.T.I.R. (Bio-Threat Investigative Response). After a threatening phone call to a Hospital located in the mountain community of Springfalls, Homeland Security dispatches your team to investigate any potential harm that may be done to the patients and the staff. After it is revealed that an human-manufactured virus is already loose inside the hospital, the government closes off the Hospital.....with you and your team still inside. Now, you must find a way out of the Hospital as the virus quickly does away with everyone.....one...by...one.

Sounds really cool!  I'd like to see how you write this one out.

Kinda reminds me of Fringe. I like it! 

So you get to follow the story of a military ops-team as they try to fight off the beginning of the zombie infection or something like that?

Exactly. Right on point.

That would be a nice change from the usual survival stories. Seeing things from a military perspective should be interesting.

Yeah. I know it's been done before, though. I want to show people, story by story, of how the world ends. It'll be a nice difference from the usual ''The world is filled with zombies, now survive''.

This sounds like fun! With only one paragraph of description, I can already sense the dramatic tension of the story, so it's definitely something I'd be interested in playing.

Will this be more of a STORYgame or a storyGAME?

Both. As equal as I can make it.
