This is a dark fantasy action-adventure game where players control Herbert Wallace, a survivor of horrific experiments, as he seeks revenge against the sorcerer Adam Crowley. Players must stop Crowley from merging with an ancient entity and imposing his reign of terror on Earth.
Story
PROLOGUE
A hundred years after his defeat in London, Adam Crowley is back. The sorcerer spent one whole century regaining his strength and is now preparing his masterpiece. He plans to call up an ancestral entity of terrifying power in order to merge with it.
If Crowley succeeds, he will finally embrace immortality and will soon be poised to impose his reign on Earth forever! With the aid of his Emissaries, creatures that are part of the Devourer, he plans to carry out a powerful ritual that will allow the entity to manifest itself.
One of the essential elements needed for this operation is a powerful magic artifact known as the Glyph. However, this artifact is in the hands of the Circle, a secret organization founded by Ignatius Blackward and Nadia Fransiscus.
Crowley is quick to move on his demented plan and decides to surprise attack the Circle organization. The sorcerer massacres Ignatius and Nadia and steals the famous Glyph, thereby killing two birds with one stone.
Unfortunately for Crowley, Ignatius' and Nadia's spiritual descendants have not played their last card: Herbert Wallace. Wallace shares a relationship with Crowley that most mortals would never wish upon themselves.
Kidnapped at a young age, Wallace became a laboratory test subject of Crowley. For several long and grueling years, Wallace was locked up in a cell and involved in countless lab experiments, torture, and mutilation. As each day passed, Wallace had nothing to look forward to except a new kind of torture or experimentation.
Wallace was beginning to lose his senses, as cell isolation and physical degradation was stripping him of conscious thought. Horrific nightmares haunted Wallace in his sleep and he began to wonder if his dreams were real, imagined, or somehow visions.
One night, he visualized Crowley's massacre of the Circle organization in his mind. Clinging onto his last ounce of mentality, Wallace came to the conclusion that everything he endures must stop.
His only solution is to hunt down the souls responsible for his unfortunate fate and settle the score in the ultimate display of revenge. It's up to Wallace to stop Crowley from accomplishing his demented plan.
ADAM CROWLEY
Born in London in 1635, Adam Crowley was a brilliant scientist, a doctor of medicine and a specialist of natural sciences. Bestowed with an ingenious mind, Crowley had unfortunately neither scruples nor the slightest sense of morality.
Indeed, the wicked mastermind was prepared to do anything in order to successfully carry out his experiments - he didn't care whether his guinea pigs were human or otherwise. Always looking to further his knowledge, Crowley became interested in black magic.
Merging his expert knowledge of laboratory science with his new found passion in occult science, Crowley became a master of bio-sorcery. He eventually took control of the Brotherhood of Hecate, which he transformed into a secret network of submissive servitors.
Crowley was obsessed by the quest for immortality and absolute power and looked for a solution that would accomplish both. In 1665, Crowley learned the existence of evil entities driven back to the ends of the earth by special rituals contained in a secret book.
If Crowley could gain access to this book, he might be able to summon one of these entities and merge their powers together. Therefore he devises a plan that would span over 200 years.
In 1834, Crowley attempted to accomplish his supreme act in London by stealing the secret book. Ultimately his attempt was a failure, thwarted by the efforts of Ignatius Blackward and Nadia Franciscus. Despite his failure, Crowley understood that the key to his success lay in his union with this creature.
Physically weakened, the sorcerer used the following decades to perfect his knowledge of the Entity with which he hoped to become one, in order to impose his reign on an Earth immersed in a new age of gloom.
One century following the events of Nightmare Creatures, Crowley is ready to put his infernal plan into action.
