From the introduction: Welcome to a world much like your own. However, in the shadows, lurk monsters. Creatures from the dawn of time are pursued by madmen on the cutting edge of science. Men twisted into monsters since birth stalk the same streets as men twisted into beasts by mystical curses. As the sun goes down, unliving corpses disinter themselves from their tombs while corpses given new life wrench themselves from their makers' operating tables. There's a touch of the macabre no matter where you look, and for the next ten years you'll be living(?) alongside these creatures. Do try to stay alive or at least mobile. There's no prize for being the guy who gets eaten by the monster in the first ten minutes.
