Released in 2006 for PC by Rebelmind, The Chosen: Well of Souls is an action RPG set in a dark vision of the 19th century. Players take on the roles of three distinct characters — Frater Simon, a mage; Elena, a thief; and Tong Wong, a warrior — each a member of the Mystery Guards Fraternities, secret organizations dedicated to hunting demons and combating supernatural evil. The central conflict pits these three against Marcus Dominus Ingens, an immortal sorcerer who commands vast demonic armies raised through the souls of alchemists. His ultimate goal is to destroy God's Envoy, a powerful being that manifests in the world once every two centuries. Combining hack-and-slash combat with RPG progression, the game draws on gothic and occult imagery to establish its atmosphere across its story-driven campaign.
The powerful Sorcerer Marcus Dominus Ingens became immortal after unraveling the mystery of the Philosopher’s Stone. His pride and hunger for power made him eliminate all alchemists who's skills and knowledge equaled his. Now he keeps their souls in Golden Tanks and uses them for his evil purposes and controlling infernal forces. Whole armies of demons and devils are at his command. In order to take control over the world, however, he'd have to destroy the God’s Envoy, who resides at the Equilibrium Place -- the eternal throne -- to which every 200 years comes the being who has the great power of doing good. The God’s Envoy is deep meditative state and cannot directly intervene in the situation on Earth. Marcus is aware that he is too weak to destroy the God’s Envoy, so he sets free hordes of infernal monsters in order to harvest human souls and later keep them in Golden Tanks. Each new soul makes Marcus more powerful, while the God’s Envoy becomes weaker and weaker. And then one day… For many years the Mystery Guards Fraternities have trained Hunters to fight the evil. Hard-bitten, well trained in magic and alchemy, they traversed the world fighting against the powers of darkness. Now, their Fraternities need them back to face the whole army of infernal beasts. The life of God’s Envoy and the world order are at stake.The best of the best Frater Simon, Elena and Tong Wong prepare to save the Earth ready to risk their lives in the fight against Marcus.
