  "account": "In a surprising twist, the popular quarantine-themed game Quarantine Zone is set to receive a brand new location in the form of a free expansion. Dubbed Quarantine Zone: Miami Zero, this addition will be unveiled at the PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct and will become available for download on October 15 via a free update for the original game.\n\nMiami Zero promises to immerse players in the sun-drenched, absurd world of Florida, introducing a range of novel ailments and symptoms for the city's unfortunate residents. While your primary objective remains to ensure these individuals don't smuggle their illnesses past your checkpoint, the update also encourages experimentation with various drugs.\n\nAccording to its promotional trailer, preparing to man your quarantine post in Miami involves more than just wielding a hammer – your toolkit includes X-rays, scanner sticks, and even taser guns. The trailer certainly sparks curiosity about the conditions you'll encounter in Miami Zero, particularly as it features an intriguing directive: \"Experiment with drugs.\"\n\nThe prospect of turning a normal individual into the Incredible Hulk through scientific experimentation adds an unexpected layer of intrigue to the game. As players don their quarantine officer hats, they'll have the opportunity to delve into the complexities of Florida's medical landscape, uncovering hidden illnesses and potentially even curing those who fall ill.",
