Set in the present day, the archangel Abaddon faces possessed zealots, demons, and the daunting powers of the personified plagues of Mankind: Pestilence, War, Famine and Death. As Abaddon, the player must find the three "Chosen" and combine their untapped powers in time to save the world from destruction; but that won't be easy -- God's Chosen are mortals, not to mention they're a prostitute, a serial killer and a corrupt politician. Hand-to-hand, sword, and projectile combat combine with fantastic abilities to create a surreal cinematic experience.

The story unfolds via in-game cinematics and "graphic novel" sequences by Simon Bisley -- who is also the title's character designer. These graphic novel images are displayed on-screen complete with animations, voices and sound effects -- bringing Bisley's work to life and immersing the player in the dark underworld of Hell's emissaries.
