Zombie Cure Lab Will Benefit Real-Life Cancer Research Through Power of Players

In recognition of World Science Day, Aerosoft and Thera Bytes are proud to announce that their upcoming zombie treatment lab builder, Zombie Cure Lab, will give players a way to contribute to real-life cancer research. Players can contribute simply by playing the game when it launches in Steam Early Access for PC on Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2022.

Through a partnership with University Hospital Erlangen and the University of Rostock, Zombie Cure Lab allows players to treat the undead in-game while contributing computing power to unlocking a cure for Uveal Melanoma, a high-mortality cancer with about 1,700 new cases per year in the United States alone. Meet global goals to unlock in-game rewards!

HOW IT WORKS

• While playing Zombie Cure Lab, players can enable a piece of background software called Docking Hero
• If enabled, Docking Hero simulates protein-ligand docking—how different drugs bond with receptors in the human body—in search of positive interactions
• Unlock exclusive loot in Zombie Cure Lab when global computation goals are met, such as new missions, lab decorations, zombie-catching technology, and more
• When enabled, Docking Hero runs simulations quietly without impacting gameplay. To learn more about Docking Hero, University Hospital Erlangen, and the University of Rostock, head to the official Docking Hero website.

While contributing to the search for a cure, save the in-game world from a zombie apocalypse by curing, not killing, the undead! Build a home base and research the latest in zombie-capturing technology. Detain brain hungry attackers by night and convert them into your cheerful workforce by day. Stock up your kitchen and provide sleeping accommodations to keep the human-zombie hybrids from going back to their old, flesh-eating habits. Unlock more advanced items and research tiers to restore humanity and reverse the apocalypse.

Zombie Cure Lab will release into Steam Early Access for PC on Wednesday, Dec. 7, with text language support for English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Polish, Portuguese, and Russian. Development of Zombie Cure Lab is financially supported by FFF Bayern and the budgetary funds of the Free State of Bavaria.
