Many centuries ago, Margaret was introduced to the Black Death. She sought the devil's protection in a pagan cult of devil worshipers. Through demonic rites, Margaret became a powerful sorceress, her strength growing with each year. Then the Bloody Judge set off a vicious wave of executions for profit and pleasure. Margaret was condemned to burn. From within the flames, she cast a dreadful curse upon the land. Then she appeared to her daughter, Alucarda.

"Avenge me, Alucarda! Avenge my death!"

You are Alucarda. You begin the game on a quest for vengeance, though this may change as you progress. You begin with no witchcraft abilities, so you must gain them. The game mainly plays like a classic point-and-click adventure game and features a Sierra-style score system. The player needs to examine the environment, collect objects and solve puzzles. There are also first-person combat sections.

While the game states that it is shareware and advertises a commercial version that's uncensored and features additional content, no such version has ever been found, leaving most to assume it was never completed.
