Description
Incredible phenomena are happening in your body all the time. But have you ever stopped to think about what keeps you breathing, how information travels from your senses to your brain instantly, or any of the other amazing things that constantly happen to keep you alive? Now you can jump inside the human body and participate in these physiological processes to help Fred outrun danger in the woods.
In Code Fred: Survival Mode, you'll play mini-games to send adrenaline to help Fred run faster, build a blood clot to help heal a wolf bite, prioritize energy intake to the most critical organs, and even fight bacteria invaders after Fred gets sneezed on in the woods. Each mini-game helps Fred run a little farther toward safety. Lose one of these challenges, and Fred's body won't be leaving the woods.
How to Play
Use your mouse/trackpad to follow the instructions listed in-game.

This is why we stay indoors playing computer games rather than going outside.

Great game. Well done MSI Chicago. I'm passing this along to my teacher friends. Also, to everyone playing, easter egg on the opening screen, you can use arrows or scroll ball to change the position of the sun in the sky.
