Abuse
Abuse resembles a side-scrolling platform game. The game is marked for its unusual control scheme: The keyboard is used to move Nick, while the mouse is used for aiming the weapons. The basic gameplay consists of fighting various enemies (mostly the various forms of mutants, who prefer to attack in huge swarms) and solving some simple puzzles, most involving switches.

About This Game
Nick Vrenna is serving time for a crime he didn't commit, locked in a facility where the guards conduct illegal experiments on inmates. When a riot triggers a catastrophic lab accident, a mutagenic substance called "Abuse" tears through the compound — turning everyone it touches into a violent monster. Nick alone appears immune. Armed with a laser gun, he fights his way through the overrun complex, determined to stop the outbreak from spreading beyond the prison walls and find a way out.
