D.1.R.T.: Origin of the Species is an action game with elements of cRPG, for which the Nu Generation Games development team is responsible. The player directs the actions of a teenage girl who, together with a group of friends, gets caught up in an affair related to a failed military experiment. The game is based on spectacular battles with more than 20 weapons.

An innocent camping trip into the Nevada desert takes a deadly turn when military black operations test a new viral weapon codename Project G.I.Ants, designed to create battle field infantry by mutating commonly found insects and parasites. When this test run goes horribly wrong the lives of 8 friends and a desert community is altered irrevocably.

Waking up in a jail appearing to be in New York the player, an urban girl in her late teens, must remember what happened and set off to find her friends and save them from the madness. There is of course a couple of problems....

The presence of the virus Triton-76 used by Project G.I.Ants in the surrounding air starts to trigger powerful and frightening mutations in the player and a standard order for the elimination of any witness.
