The game's plot is about a man named [[BigBad DaGoulian]] who wishes to end the conflict between good and evil by creating a world of pure evil. To do this, he uses energy named Skeletism in order to raise an army of [[DemBones undead skeletons]] that he commands using a set of special drums. However, the title character is reanimated with blue Skeletism rather than red Skeletism, causing him to retain his free will. Being considered an impurity, [=DaGoulian=] orders his minions to eliminate him. After escaping, he finds a blind guitarist in the woods who gives him a guitar to help him. Mr Bones thus sets out to stop [=DaGoulian=] once and for all.

The game's plot is about a man named [[BigBad DaGoulian]] who wishes to end the conflict between good and evil by creating a world of pure evil. To do this, he uses energy named Skeletism in order to raise an army of [[DemBones undead skeletons]] that he commands using a set of special drums. However, the title character is reanimated with blue Skeletism rather than red Skeletism, causing him to retain his free will. Being considered an impurity, [=DaGoulian=] orders his minions to eliminate him. After escaping, he finds a blind guitarist in the woods who gives him a guitar to help him. Mr Bones thus sets out to stop [=DaGoulian=] once and for all.
