Panic! is a game (although that term is a bit debatable) where the world has gone mad, what with the computer network server being infected with a virus that causes objects of all kinds, all over the planet, to behave strangely (which is evident during the introductory cutscene, where a man's cycle tires turn triangular-shaped, a television set throws up when turned on, and an Easter Island head statue crushes a man while awaiting an elevator, as well as many other things that occur during a session of going through Panic!).
