He accidentally revives an ancient bio-weapon that quickly captures him & his family, except their plucky son Dota. Explore multiple zones full of monsters, gadgets, & hazards to help Dota defeat bosses and save his family from this resurrected monstrosity. With various weapons & power-ups, you must increase your health & toolset in this dungeon crawling action-platformer.
