You're a sailor aboard a ship commanded by Captain Aldous Thorpe, seeking a mysterious island supposedly located in the Bermuda Triangle. Suddenly, a massive storm engulfs the ship, and you wake up stranded on Aeternum - the island captain Thorpe was looking for. After battling several zombie pirates and finding Thorpe not just insane and obsessed with finding a mysterious box he accuses you of stealing, but also possessed with mysterious power, you discover that you're now immortal - as is everyone and everything on the island.
