Mindless monsters roam the depths of the Undercity - a hostile, sprawling, interconnected, semi-open-world environment.
Nakawak (a skeleton comprised of an odd assortment of bones) is unique. He has had an awakening. He has found a sense of self.
Alone in a hostile world filled with monstrous beings, Nakawak knows his purpose: Defeat the Three Beasts and the Seal will fail, opening the way to the surface and freedom . . .
