According to the developer, the primary target of the campaign is to raise 1.5 million dollar, and any amount above that will be used to stretch their goals. The extra money will be used for funding episodes beyond the first ones. The developer came up with the simple concept, the more they receive the more they can deliver to the people.
The game will take the players on a journey across the time which will include historical facts intercepted with fiction. The created storyline and the background are sure to charm the players and keep them glued for hours. To get into the plot of the game, Detective Paul Becker, the star of the game, is called to investigate into a gang annihilation regarded as the bloodiest in the Louisiana state history.

Through combined recollection of the two, the truth about the Eternals will be unveiled.
The game will feature an array of heroes and villains, and will span over 2500 years running through Egypt, Hungary, England and USA. To progress through the adventure the players will have to balance between the mechanisms of combating, sanity events, and magic. In every step they will question the perception of reality.
