At the start of the game Daniel is about to take Catherine out for a birthday meal. The game revolves around a young man named Daniel Garner, who is happily married to his wife, Catherine. The game features multiplayer, which includes classic modes like Deathmatch and capture-the-flag. Each equipped card provides different bonuses for a small amount of time, like powered-up weapons or slow motion. The game presents an option to complete a special task each level, which results in the player getting a "tarot card", a rare, hard-to-obtain bonus. There are five "boss" levels where player fights a boss.

Monsters are also very different, with new ones almost every level. The levels include castles, monasteries, an opera house, Venice, graveyards, and more. Each level presents a new location with various themes and art styles.

One of the game's most important aspects is its diversity. The player's objective is to get through each level, from start to finish, by slaughtering hundreds of monsters. The game is divided into five chapters, each about five levels long. The game is inspired by such classic titles as Quake and Doom, with the emphasis on killing large numbers of monsters.
