After unleashing an unfathomable cataclysm, Montrell Saint-Luc, the Beetle Ninja, must find a way to prevent it's inevitable arrival within two short weeks.

Will you save the world, or will you spend the rest your time chilling at home? Ultimately, it's up to you. Either way, some insane cultish man on the street insists that the world is going to end soon.
