The game takes place in the gothic city of Yharnam where its inhabitants have been afflicted with a blood-borne disease that has turned them into beasts. Hunter, the game's protagonist, must navigate through the mysterious streets of Yharnam to locate the source of the plague. Through his journey, he unravels the city's mysteries and he must fight against the beastly creatures in order to survive.
