Something dark and sinister has awakened inside Captain Chase. The
brutal murder of a fellow captive has seemingly, somehow,
transferred that power to Captain Chase. A power that began as
peaceful, but soon becomes something else—something filled
with hate, desiring of destruction, and hungry for revenge. With
these new-found powers, Captain Chase takes to the sky and aims to
settle the score with the man responsible for his torture and the
death of his crew. Explore your dark side.
