==Story==
The game starts with the protagonist waking up inside a shop owned by the butcher Mitch. The protagonist was told by Pedro that Mitch is an arms dealer and must be assassinated. Upon killing Mitch and escaping the butcher shop, the protagonist heads to District Null, an abandoned community project home to Denny and his group of bounty hunters. When the protagonist confronts Denny, he flees then reveals that his sister Ophelia is responsible for controlling The Internet. The protagonist deals with Denny and heads via The Sewers to The Internet to confront Ophelia. After defeating Ophelia, it has been revealed that the protagonist has been unwarily killing his own family, with Mitch being his father, Denny being his brother and Ophelia being his sister. Pedro reveals that the protagonist knocked himself unconscious and erased his memory so that he can eliminate his family members without being guilty. Upon revealing this, Pedro jams himself into the protagonist's ear and tried to have him shoot himself. The final battle is the protagonist against Pedro, which is essentially a visual representation of the protagonist's mental struggle to resist Pedro's influence. With Pedro defeated, the protagonist removes his mask, revealing that he was Pedro all along with the banana being nothing but a figment of his imagination.
