Plot

edit

The game is set in a post-apocalyptic environment. Society consists of three races: Tuner; who possess psy-powers and Protozorqs; who are physical mutants, and 'Normals', people without mutations

Raven, a Tuner, is caught prisoner in the temple of the Protozorqs, and must find his girlfriend, who was also kidnapped, to finally proceed to escape with her. Raven is aware that his quest won't be simple since the Protozorqs, armed with "zapsticks", will gladly kill him if he does anything they dislike.
