Born into innocence, he's oblivious to the cataclysm that created him, or to the lurking shadow of Plaguas, the cosmic entity that consumed his home. His path soon crosses with Talia, a princess cursed by an ancient relic, her crimson hair a beacon of her telekinetic rage. Freed by Markus's pure essence, she follows him to the unlikely sanctuary of the Calico Cat Inn, where they encounter Bobby, the gruff but kind owner, and Reno, the inn's quiet anchor. But peace is fleeting. Driven by Belshy, a desperate archaeologist obsessed with a rumored relic, they journey to Talia's ruined, cursed castle.

But the storm outside rages, bringing not just rain, but an invading horde of infected horrors from a dimensional portal: shambling zombies, cunning ghouls, and terrifying werewolves.
