History VideoGame / DoomAndDestiny

Doom and Destiny is an indie game developed by HeartBit Interactive. This game tells the tale of four friends (Nigel, Johnny, Mike, and Francis) on their way to see Benjamin, their gamemaster, for a role-playing session at his house. When they realized that he's not here, they search around his house and come upon his cellar. When they find a book entitled "Doom and Destiny", they try to start the game to prepare for his arrival. When they find out that the next room they enter is a burning dungeon, they see that there is more to the role-playing game than meets the eye. Eventually, it leads the boys into another world, where they are proclaimed to be "legendary heroes" to stop a villain whose name cannot be said. If they ever hope to return home and find their gamemaster, they must defeat the evil villain of the story, along with performing other heroic duties. HilarityEnsues as they encounter many different characters and [[ShoutOut Shout Outs]].

This game was released in the Indie Games section of the Xbox 360 Live Arcade for the price of 240 Microsoft Points.
