The game begins with a retelling of the Great War of Gallowmere, where Sir Daniel Fortesque (the game's main protagonist) supposedly defeated the evil sorcerer Zarok, before dying himself. He was known as the ''Hero of Gallowmere'' since then. This is shown later shown to be just a lie made up by King Peregrin, however, since Daniel was killed by the very first wave of arrows fired.

[[File:Livelli_6.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Zarok entering the Graveyard.]]Zarok, although believed to be dead, managed to escape the battlefield, fleeing into hiding. 100 years later, he returns. He steals the souls of the townsfolk and brings the dead and inanimate to life. Unknowningly, however, he also revives Dan, who retains his free will. Being the only one who can stop him, Daniel leaves his crypt and begins his journey through Gallowmere, which, if he succeeds, would make him the hero he had never became in life.

Dan makes his way through the Graveyard and into Cemetery Hill. After a short meeting with Zarok, Daniel proceeds exploring the area and finds a Witch Talisman. Then he continues to the Hilltop Mausoleum, where he fights the Stain Glass Demon for the key that unlocks the Graveyard's gates. He returns to the Graveyard and battles it's guardians for freedom. After defeat, they grant him the [[The Daring Dash|''Daring Dash'']] ability. When he finds his way out of the Scarecrow Fields, Dan travels through the Pumpkin Gorge, where he summons the Pumpkin Witch with his talisman. She promises to reward him with a Dragon Gem if he defeats the Pumpkin King. After defeating the King and getting the gem, Dan travels to Gallow's Town, which is soon overrun by Zarok's henchmen.

He learns that Zarok wants to find the shadow artefact and release the Shadow Demons from their tomb underneath the Enchanted Forest. Daniel manages to find the shadow artefact before Zarok, however. Daniel then leaves the town and enters the Asylum Grounds, where he encounters [[Jack of the Green]] , a gargoyle that claims that the labyrinth is his domain. He gives riddles to Dan, which he must answer if he wishes to find a way out of the grounds. Daniel eventually reaches the Asylum, where he finds the Town Mayor. After freeing him from his cell, he tells Dan to take the Dragon Gem Zarok left behind.

Daniel then travels to the Enchanted Forest, where he may summon a witch and help her get her amber from the ant's nest. If Daniel chooses to help the witch, he will fight the Ant Queen and receive some magical Chicken Drumsticks from the witch as a reward. In the forest, he locates the Shadow Demon tomb and opens it with the Shadow Artifact. In order to access the later parts of Gallowmere, Daniel had to release the demons from the tomb. After defeating two Demonettes, Daniel makes his way to the Pools of the Ancient Dead - The place where the Great War took place. There, Daniel meets the Grim Reaper. He asks Dan to bring him 10 lost souls in exchange for rowing Dan to the sunken city of Mellowmede. In Mellowmede, Daniel finds a way to the Crystal Caves, where he awakens a dragon using the two dragon gems he collected. The Dragon gives Daniel the dragon potion after Dan defeats him.
