Setting

Away from prying eyes, the Alchemists have been researching a Shadow Monster and its ability to create Void Liquid.
The Monster creates this "Void Liquid" by devouring humans...

This research takes place in a secret undisclosed location, where the Alchemists feed people to the Shadow Monster.
After growing complacent the Monster eventually sees an opportunity to escape... and is now stalking the quiet halls of this facility.

The Monster's objective? Take out everything that breathes and escape.
