Story

YOU'RE FRIED IN THE ELECTRIC CHAIR – AND YOUR SOUL ENDS UP IN A PLACE WHERE THE DEAD GAMBLE FOR A SECOND LIFE.

Harlan Hill, a battle-hardened mercenary, meets a grim end, executed in the electric chair, convinced of betrayal. His soul finds itself not in oblivion, but in the bizarre realm of a purgatorial shaman.

The shaman presents him with a perilous dice game, a series of four rounds that could grant him rebirth, perhaps even the revenge he craves. But a mocking spirit lays claim to his soul, forcing Harlan to gamble for his very existence.

Against all odds, Harlan triumphs, leaving the shaman's hut behind to wander a hallucinatory Purgatory. In this dreamlike world, justice is a mirage, and destiny is dictated by the roll of the dice, the cards in your hand, and the strength of your nerves.
