==Plot== Abomination takes place in 1999 after the [[United States]] has been almost wiped out by a deadly plague. According to the game's manual, the disease started on the east coast, and communication with the west coast ceased within 72 hours. The last few groups of survivors stopped broadcasting after six days, and the overwhelming majority of the country's population has been wiped out. Most of the remaining survivors have pledged allegiance to an apocalyptic and ultra-violent [[cult]] known as "The Faithful,", a hazily defined religion whose followers practice [[mortification of the flesh]], as well as [[vivisection|vivisecting]] [[human sacrifice|themselves and others]] to prove the strength of their beliefs. The Faithful are eventually revealed to be at least several hundred years old, possibly originating from [[Tibet]]. The cult predicts the coming of "The Brood" and "the Elder Gods" in a [[Lovecraftian]] fashion. The game's [[backstory]] also mentions that The Faithful are somehow connected with a strange and very old [[statuette]], called "The Princess of Death," which resembles a cross between a [[Black Madonna]] and a prehistoric depiction of the [[mother goddess]]. Shortly before the plague first broke out, the [[US government]] suspected that the Faithful had either stolen the statue from the unspecified museum where it was kept, or that through their rituals, they caused it to [[explosion|explode]] there, perhaps disseminating one or more [[biological agent]]s hidden inside. The game's opening [[cutscene]] contains no words, but suggests that the statuette may have been part of a [[meteorite]] which struck the earth long ago. The cutscene also shows the [[Oval Office]] with a figure resembling President [[Bill Clinton]], who has obviously collapsed and died while still at his desk—within moments after he signed and issued the written orders for the emergency response plan "Project Nemesis," which can be seen in a folder there. The game takes place in a large, unnamed coastal city (probably [[New York]]), which remains mostly undamaged but plagued by odd biological matter, ranging from tentacles growing out of the sidewalk to huge, three-story towers of tissue. The player controls members of "The Nemesis Project," who according to the backstory were originally [[muster (military)|mustered]] at a secret base in a fictional location called "Kinmore Field" in [[Ohio]]. These [[supersoldier]]s are [[black operations|black operatives]] who have been enhanced through the use of unethical invasive surgical procedures and experimental [[nanotechnology]], as part of a last-ditch effort to find a way to eliminate The Faithful and put an end to the plague. This is why the characters have [[pseudoscientific]] special abilities and, presumably, immune systems capable of protecting them from the plague. The cutscene shows the soldiers being revived by a [[failsafe]] mechanism that automatically brings them out from some kind of [[cryogenic suspension]], presumably because of the last order the President gave before he died. Surviving military or police personnel are also recruited into the player's roster, and they have no superpowers, but do possess specialized weapons training.
