Alaric, a mysterious and restless man, and one of the two fortunate people that got the mentioned achievement, has converted the crypt in his particular shelter . From there, he challenges the world by offering a reward of 50.000 gold coins to whom can penetrate into the place and coming out alive to tell the carefully kept secret. For centuries, many would-be heroes tried to uncover these secrets with no success, because the powerful spirits living inside the crypt ended the lives of those who try to defy them.

Shortly thereafter, Kyouji is found dead under suspicious circumstances. The protagonist is then trapped inside of a warehouse and murdered by a deranged killer named Sid. Rather than stay dead, the player finds himself in the reanimated body of the slain Kyouji, and escapes from the morgue. With the help of Kyouji's voice, which guides the player from inside his head, the main character joins up with Kyouji's female partner Rei in order to save the life of his girlfriend, who is still in danger.

La Abadía del Crimen
La Abadía del CrimenLa abadía del crimen (The Abbey of Crime) is a computer video game programmed in 1987 by Paco Menéndez and Juan Delcán. The game was originally conceived as a version of Umberto Eco's book The Name of the Rose. However, the developers received no reply from Eco in order to secure the rights for the name, so the game was released as La abadía del crimen. This game is a videoadventure with 3D isometric graphics, where a Franciscan friar, William of Occam, and his young novice Adso have to discover the perpetrator of a series of murders in a medieval Italian abbey.
