I was unfortunately unable to aquire a copy but based on the available screenshots and comments as well as some familiarity with the SRD it is based on it seems to me to be quite competently made.
So on to the things I can review:
The Cover is great, when I saw the submission I immediately wanted to play it, great job. Its simplicity and choice of colour works great together. The Gas Mask on top of the Lung is a very iconic image. Conveys the ideas of a sickness going around and the post apocalyptic setting well.
The inside art confuses me a little, it continues this idea of being simplistic and that is great but it honestly gives me more of a medieval vibe. I know it's always difficult to find or make fitting art for a project but maybe a couple changes to continue that post-apocalyptic vibe would be a good idea. Something like, a boxy computer hooked up to the microscope or a more modern sleeping bag, maybe with a malformed arm or a tentacle sticking out, or an eye gleaming from the zipped up opening of the bag.
Similar a more greyish page background could have done wonders to support the mood.
The presented lore is enjoyable but the writing could use some tightening up in places.
Again I had somewhat incomplete information and of course this review is highly biased and based on my own opinion but since it is part of the Transformation TTRPG Jam I figured it deserved a fair shake so to speak.
Overall I liked what I saw.
