- Matt revealing his intentions.

Matthew "Matt" Singer is the main antagonist of Infected Inside.

A former scientist that was fired due to intentionally making the lab explode while five people were inside, Matt now captures zombies and unleashes them upon the world.

Matt is responsible for majority of the events in the game, and is a threat to the player.

Personality
Throughout the game, Matt is shown to be evil and traitorous. Being mentioned in notes as a traitor, and antagonizing the player whenever encountered. He cares very little for others, even those who are his friends, as William's notes confirm that Matt locked him and his friends in a room and flooded it with zombies. He is shown to be somewhat of a coward, never fighting someone face-to-face, and instead prefers to have an advantage, seen during his final confrontation where he is ontop of a tower, and relies on his bullets and the zombies below to kill the player. He also often underestimates people, usually not killing them since he expects them to die from the zombies.

Gameplay
Matt is only encountered 5-6 times in the game. Each encounter being meaningful.

Chapter 1: Mall Brawl
Matt is seen in both the intro and end cutscenes of the chapter, first knocking the player out and locking them in the mall.

Chapter 3: There's A Horde Coming
This is the first chapter where Matt is directly a threat to the player. He is a recurring enemy in the chapter, who randomly attempts to shoot the player with a crossbow dart from vents or balconies. At the end of the chapter, He is encountered in a boss-fight foreshadowing his final confrontation. In the fight, He shoots the player from balconies while they are being chased by a horde of zombies. After the player reaches the exit door, Matt disappears and the chapter ends.

Chapter 4: Back To School

Matt then shoots the player's arm, and stomps on them before running off, but Dr. Tops enters the room and shoots Matt's mask off.

Chapter 7: I'm Tired Of Running

Chapter 8: Final Confrontation
The entirety of this final chapter is to chase down and confront Matt. Throughout the chapter, Matt will run away from the player, while letting out almost every single zombie in the lab and setting up traps for the player. He then goes up an elevator, where the player follows behind. The player is led to a dark room, where they yell for Matt to come out. The lights then flash up, revealing Matt inside a fortress with an open window. He then says the following monologue;

”I see we meet again, this time, I refuse to let you out."

The gate behind the player shuts, locking them inside the final room.

”I collected zombies to get rid of unwanted guests, and now you’ve killed my greatest one, you’ve officially pissed me off.”

The gates on the sides of the room open, a horde of zombies come out.

'''”Feast upon him my friends! Let the undead rise again!”'''

The final battle then begins, Matt attempts to shoot the player with crossbow darts from the fortress while they're being chased by the zombie horde, but after the player has successfully made them attack the fortress, it will collapse with Matt inside, killing Matt once and for all.
