Setting

The game is set in a post-apocalyptic environment. Society is consisted of two races: Tuner who possess psy-powers) and Protozorqs who are physical mutants.

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.
