STORY

Lisa Rogan

Height: 5’ 8” (172 cm) Weight: 110 lbs (50 kg) Gender: Female Age: 20 Nationality: American

The daughter of the top agent of the now-defunct AMS, Thomas Rogan. Motivated and tenacious, Lisa is often told how much she resembles her father. She does not seem to take this as a compliment. It has been two weeks since contact was lost with her father. Saying she must follow her mother’s wishes, she accompanies her father’s old partner, G, to the EFI Research Facility.

The incident at Curien mansion:

A three-day incident in 1998, from December 18th through the 20th, in which a Dr. Curien tried to destroy human civilization. Dr. Curien’s plan was stopped by two AMS agents, Rogan and G, but because the government had a hand in the incident, the public was never told what happened …

AMS:

A government organization commonly known as AMS. Responsible for criminal investigations and intelligence collection around the world. Internally, the organization is split into domestic and foreign divisions. AMS was disbanded when the government disappeared following the world collapse of 2003.

EFI Research Facility:

A private research facility backed by a figure close to a major financial conglomerate. The research activities of the facility are not known. From what has been released publicly, it appears that they work in fields on the cutting edge of genetic research, including the human genome catalog, the gap between life and death, gene transplantation, and acquired RNA existence systems.

December 1998

The Curien Mansion incident...no one could imagine the true horrors

contained within the original "House of the Dead."

Motivated by madness, Dr. Curien nearly succeeded in bringing chaos to the world.

But in the end, it was Dr. Curien himself who lost his life at the hands of his own

scientific masterpiece: "Type00 Magician."

This incident was brought to a close through the diligent work of AMS agents

Thomas Rogan and G.

February 2002

Strange events and violent rioting compel AMS agents

to return to action in a town of terrorized citizens.

Amidst the chaos, a mysterious figure named Goldman steps forward

to take responsibility. Due to obvious similarities

with the original "House of the Dead" case, AMS agents James and Gary are

dispatched to put an end to the madness, and they seem to succeed...

One day in 2002

Breaking news: "Bizarre occurrences are taking place within countries

throughout the world. The national government is taking action to funnel

all available resources to the task of discovering the cause of these occurrences and the origin of the evil creatures..."

2003

Plummeting toward collapse, the world teeters on the edge of oblivion.

Horrific phenomenons are now taking place everywhere bringing disorder and chaos

as paranoid citizens fight for the means to survive. It isn't long

before this chain of events has succeeded in bringing the world to its knees...

Sixteen years later...

October 2019

Survivors identify the EFI Research Facility as the force behind the world collapse.

Recognizing the urgency of the situation, authorities send in former AMS agent

Thomas Rogan. But mere moments into the mission, contact with Rogan is lost.

October 31, 2019

Desperate for answers, G and Lisa Rogan arrive at the EFI Research Facility

in an effort to locate Thomas Rogan and his team.

Beguiled by their apocalyptic surroundings, one seeks a friend

while the other seeks a father. The astonishing facts, previously concealed,

now propel both agents toward an unexpected confrontation,

and a conclusion that will change the earth forever.
