Hail, oh great and merciless Lich, for you have risen once again. The Dark Lord calls!

You play as the Lich, a master of the unliving. You want to end the world, if only those pesky humans would let you. Defend the sacrificial altar, don't get yourself killed again, and put a stop to the humans once and for all by destroying their settlement.
