The protagonist of the game is the voodoo priest Akuji, who was seen tearing his heart out on his wedding day. Just because of a voodoo spell he he is now forced to roam the Underworld, but his betrothed, Kesho, finds him in hell and speaks to him, informing him that it was Orad - Akuji's brother - who orchestrated his murder. The woman begs Akuji to stop Orad, as their families are preparing for a long and bloody war and Orad is thinking of sacrificing Kesho to the gods.
