The player takes the role of Arkhan, a guardian of fire, who gets infected with a dark disease after preventing the assassination of the great priestess Lori. The disease most obvious effect is to turn Arkhan into an ugly as sin monster. It's then up to him to uncover to truth behind the priestess assassination despite having a face that now looks like it fell from the ugly tree and hit every branches on the way down.

This video game provides examples of:

* [[After the End]]: Did I mentioned it was a post-apocalyptic game?

* [[Badass]]: Even before being infected with the dark disease, Arkham was more than a decent fighter. The curse made him even stronger and granted him the ability to kill almost any foe in one blow (however this mighty blow worsen the progression of the disease quite a bit).

* {{spoiler|[[Bittersweet Ending]]: Even ~~thought~~ Arkhan saves the day, his father, his girlfriend and pretty much all his significant others are dead. However, it's up to interpretation whether the Runkas, the friendly aliens who cure Arkhan at the end, resurrect the other characters.}}

* [[Cursed with Awesome]]: Even ~~thought~~ the dark disease disfigured Arkham, it still made him stronger and definitly more intimidating as the disease progresses.

* [[The Dark Side]]: If Arkhan let's the dark disease progress too much, he will become even more monster like and gain one or two feet in height and a decent share of muscle mass.

* [[Jekyll and Hyde]]: The player can shift the hero from light to dark behavior by pressing Tab. This makes Arkhan goes from [[Nice Guy|nice guy mode]] to absolute [[Ax Crazy]].

* [[Jerkass]]: When in dark behavior mode, Arkham can be quite a jerkass when he speaks to other characters ("Hi wheely" when talking to a guy in a wheel chair or "You look pretty stupid in that cage" when speaking to a prisonner).

* [[Never Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight]]: Guns still exist in this world but they are rare and so are the ammo. If the player is in a pinch, or just for the heck of it, he can shoot the ennemies who almost always have melee weapons.

* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: Arkhan's girlfriend is kinda hot.

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: If the player wants to, he can kill pretty much all his friends.
