Storyline

Crim, a brash and nomadic fiend slayer, has no time for music, dance, or art. That is, until she offends the wrong necromancer raising the roofs of the undead. Now, cursed with the insatiable need to dance, Crim and her jubilant goblin partner Gleam will have to use all of their newly found moves to slay their way through the crowds of monsters across the stereophonic lands.
