Microbial Masquerade

You are a cheeky bacterium, and your goal is to infect the human body. Seek out places where the immune system is weakest.   

But beware. Along the way, you will encounter white blood cells and various antibodies that can recognize and attack you.  

Luckily, you are a master of masking and can assume the form of different cells, granting you temporary cover.    

Each defence cell can recognize only certain dangerous organisms and cannot detect others. Choose the right mask to trick them! Probe the body’s defences and spread your microbial influence through special infestation spots. The closer you get to them, the more your bacterial sense pulsates.    

If your microbial masquerade is successful, your infection will spread even further!
