The player is confronted by Alister Dalimar, father of Charles Dalimar (the primary antagonist of the Ravenhearst storyline). Throughout the game, it turns out that Alister is trying to have himself a new earthly body with no human weaknesses. As the player rescues most of the carnival workers, he/she heads off to put an end to Alister's ambition for good.

Through the bonus content, the player is asked by Madame Fate's spirit to help free her soul from captivity. Throughout the altered carnival after Dalimar's end of life, the player finally freed Madame Fate's soul, which went off to rest in peace, with Isis, thanking the player, following her from behind.
