You are stationed with a small crew in the city of Scay Hal'Wa. A virus have just started infecting the local animals making them agressive and turning them on the populace. A major evacuation of the population has been started and it is your job to search the remaining ruins and make sure no one is left behind. And more importantly keep the aliens away long enough to survive yourself. Incubation is a turn-based strategy game played in the Battle Isle universe. But contrary to the Battle Isle games here you follow a small and select group of people and move them around a map trying to keep them alive. The athmosphere of the game is very tense especially since you get to know the people in your group quite well. The Music and sound effects adds to the athmosphere and the graphics are excelent for a game this old. The idea of using 3-D graphics for a turn based game hadn't been used before so in that respect the game is also breaking new ground. The game starts out pretty easy but quickly becomes quite dificult. And in some missions you will find yourself loading a couple of times before you are through. A good advice is to never accept losses on your side as the experience you gather during the missions is critical later on. Incubation is an experience pretty close to watching Alien except it goes on as long as you could want. But don't come near if you have fragile nerves.
