I’ve long since moved on from that sort of thing (well, mostly… wait, 90% of what I’ve done since then has been Postal 2-related… I at least actually finished one or two LPs?), but for this LP I’m going to be at least glancing in the general direction of the old basics. I originally attempted this game back in early 2009, way back when the “old guard” were people that had only been doing it for about a year and a half and there were actual, viable video host options that were not Youtube it wasn’t the first game I tried, but it was the one that more or less set in stone the way I would be doing LPs for a few years afterwards - subtitled commentary that was barely coherent with its constant arbitrary switches between being an in-character monologue and out-of-universe observations, with occasional random interludes by shit from Adult Swim, peppered with sadism and an inability to get more than halfway through a game before losing interest because it was too hard or hardware issues forced a hiatus as I called it to try to convince myself I would eventually come back and finish it, honest.

With almost unlimited funds to do what it wishes and power over everything it sets its sights on, the current CEO, Gideon, has but a single goal - kill Caleb and reclaim the power of the One That Binds.

Meanwhile, the Cabal has regrouped since the sound thrashing Caleb gave it, restructuring itself as a business that has its hands in everything from television and food production to weapons research and development, CabalCo.

Unfortunately, Caleb either hasn’t realized this, or has but doesn’t give two shits, leading to reality as we know it slowly beginning to unbind itself and merge with another reality (referred to as “the Otherworld” in the manual and cutscenes in the expansion, otherwise imaginatively referred to in some sources as “Reality Beta”). Its story is a bit more integrated into the gameplay, but is still rather simple: it’s now 2028, a century since the death of Tchernobog, and Caleb is now the possessor of his powers as the One That Binds.

As typical for a Doom clone, its plot was simple - Caleb, one of the four “Chosen” among a cult known as the Cabal, was betrayed and cast out by the very dark god the Cabal worshipped, Tchernobog, only to reawaken sometime around 1928, at which point he cut a bloody swathe through every single person in the cult in a quest for revenge, ultimately reaching and then murdering the dark god himself.īlood II was a step forward in the technology front, running on Monolith Production’s new in-house 3D game engine LithTech, the second game to release on the engine after Shogo: Mobile Armor Division, which came out about two months prior on September 30th its demo released on October 31st, 1998, with the full release following on November 20th - just one day after the massive hit that was Half-Life. What Duke 3D was to general pop culture and action movies, Blood was to horror, particularly the Evil Dead trilogy.

Blood II: The Chosen is the 1998 sequel to the 1997 cult-classic Blood, a first-person shooter on Duke Nukem 3D’s Build engine.
