Players can cause large objects to crush nearby enemies, harming them but not the player. Gameplay will also feature puzzle elements. A female partner will assist the player, however she will not be immortal and player will have to take damage to protect her.[2]

Now in modern times, he hunts demons for money and revenge [2] and continues his hunting escapades with a female private investigator in order to stop a demonic invasion that has nearly destroyed the city.

A wisecracking demon hunter who was cursed with immortality five centuries ago by Astaroth after he witnessed the brutal murder of his wife at the hands of the aforementioned demon king. Since then, he has become a disheveled, bitter alcoholic who hunts down demons for both money and revenge, often using his own ability to remove and reattach his limbs to his own advantage. He has also been known for getting into various comical mishaps with historical figures, such as when he was mistaken for Louis XV and being executed when angry farmers saw through his disguise. Now in modern times, he is accompanied by a female private investigator, Arcadia,[3][4][5] who he tells his "funny stories" to while trying to fight against demonic forces who have invaded the human world.
