Growing Infection

Growing Infection turns every hit into a long-term survival problem. Once you're infected, the virus progresses through stages — from a bite to full body failure — with a blue/cyan screen effect, a holographic status panel near the ammo counter, and rising HP drain until death.

No zombie-only filter: any damage can start the infection. Game poison status (e.g. Licker, plants) also triggers it.

Single-file REFramework script. Configurable difficulty presets, timers, and drain rates.
