The game is mostly a Pastiche of the Revenge Movie genre while continuing the systematic deconstruction of the Professional Killer trope and Otaku culture in general. Hungry for revenge, Travis must murder his way back up the ranks of the United Assassins Association for a shot at the culprit, but due to his years of inactivity he must start from Rank #51. Travis himself has retired from the assassin's lifestyle, but leaps back into the spotlight when a gang of thugs hired by the current #1-ranked assassin murders his best friend Bishop.
