The game also includes a very In-Depth weapon/armor crafting system. Once your Active Time Gauge Fills completely, you can either fire your gun, or open the menu and use your Items or Parasite Abilities (which will cost you Parasite Energy), switch Weapons or Armor, and escape basic battles. Aya can move around a small open environment, and dodge attacks from on-screen enemies. The battle system is a combination of Resident Evil (minus the Tank Controls), Chrono Trigger, and Final Fantasy VII. Now with her new powers, she is the only one who can stop Eve from killing all of mankind. After this, Aya gains mysterious powers given by her mitochondria. As Aya runs to the stage (after telling her date to get out of there) to apprehend the actress (who we later learn is named Melissa Pierce), the actress starts referring to herself as Eve, and tries to set Aya ablaze,but to no avail. But suddenly, the Actress makes eye-contact with Aya and stops singing, and afterwards, one of the actors suddenly bursts into flames, followed by about 80% of the audience.
They Come in just as the show is starting, and just before the lead actress starts her 1st song. On Christmas Eve, she goes to an opera with an unnamed date at Carnagie Hall. The game takes place in New York during the week of December 24–29, 1997, and focuses on a 25 year old NYPD Rookie named Aya Brea.

Journey through the dark streets of Manhattan as you battle mutated rats and other hideous creatures on your way to Eve, the central figure of the mitochondria attacks. It's up to NYPD detective Aya Brea to unearth the mystery behind this infestation. Mitochondria have taken on a new life of their own and begun to infest the city of Manhattan. What if mitochondria are a species on its own, more advanced then humankind, and using them only to create environments and civilization for themselves? What if humankind are just hosts? What if mitochondria are the natural enemy of humankind? That would make Aya their natural enemy, so the battle for survival and uncovering the truth has already started. There has to be some connection between the two of you, as that seems the only rational explanation. Melissa then mutates into a beast and flees into the sewers, declaring that her name is now Eve. Aya confronts Melissa backstage, and Melissa says that Aya’s mitochondria need more time to develop. During the opera, everyone in the building spontaneously combusts, except for Aya, her date, and an actress on stage named Melissa Pearce.
