The game consists of a group of 6 friends and a dog who witness the televised excavation of an ancient video game machine called The Godyssey. All video game enthusiasts, they resolve to travel together to the faraway land where the Godyssey was discovered to try to get the chance to play it. Along the way they start to notice something strange: every town they pass through seems to have become a video game. They must fight their way through gangs, hordes of zombies, the evil town of Audible Hill, the stereotypical fantasy land of Towne, 8-bit foes, and anything else that stands between them and the ultimate gaming experience.
