Heaven's Will

A nameless 22 year-old wunderkind dubbed "Nes" wakes up in total darkness with no memory of his identity or reason for being. The lack of light makes for a apt reflection of Nes' mental state. As he shuffles to his feet, a singular resolve grips him - escape. Help Nes roam through levels of 3D mazes in an effort to quit the dungeon life.

During Nes' travels, he'll encounter potential allies known as Experiment Objects or E.O.s which may join his party and help him battle foes and solve puzzles. Up to 60 E.O. crew members are scattered throughout the levels and each one possesses special abilities and powers that contribute to the overall escape plan. Up to three E.O.s may be inducted into the party at any time and work as a cohesive battle squadron.

The creatures in Heaven's Will are a bizarre gathering of monsters that bear some resemblance to the monstrosities in games such as Biohazard and Devil May Cry. NCS would describe them as human/monster mash-ups. Three types of weapons may be used in the game - Swords, Guns, and Shockwaves. Swords are made of mental reactive alloy and are used for close-up melee attacks on creatures that roam too close for comfort. Guns provide long-range reach and can be charged up for a more powerful blast. Finally, the Shockwave is a plasma weapon which causes long distance, wide ranging destruction. Like the gun, it may be charged up for higher levels of propulsive carnage.
