~ The Premise ~

Play as Olin Earl, a friendly old grandfather who lies patiently upon his deathbed. Enter Death Himself, with his lantern upon his staff. Olin's time is coming soon, Death assures him. But in the meantime there are still other souls due to meet their makers first. While Death is listing off names from his Book of the Dead, he mentions a name that sends a chill down the old spine of Olin. The name is Alan Earl, Olin's grandson. Irate and confused, Olin pulls himself up from the imprint in his mattress, declaring that he must venture across the street to his grandson's house to warn him. But when he gets there, he finds Alan's studio to be in shambles, a puddle of blood on the floor. Death tries to talk him out of it, but Olin is determined to change fate. And so Death offers him a deal.

~ The Deal ~

The deal that Death offers to Olin is simple. Death will grant Olin the vitality of his youth. But he will also grant him the ability to see the hidden lost souls that litter the world of the living. Olin must use his regained vitality not only to save his grandson, but also to collect these lost souls on Death's behalf. If Olin isn't able to collect the lost souls by the time he himself dies, then he too will become a lost soul, and be cursed to spend his afterlife haunting the village.
