When his brother War is accused of triggering the Apocalypse early and dooming humanity to extinction, Death, one of the Four Horsemen, refuses to believe the charge. Determined to clear War's name and undo the ruin, Death sets out on a perilous journey to find a way to bring humanity back from oblivion. His quest carries him far beyond the mortal world, through ancient realms and the lands of the dead, where a spreading force of Corruption threatens all of Creation. Riding his horse Despair, Death must confront powerful beings and unearth long-buried secrets to set things right.(Storyline via IGDB)
