The premise, in the publisher's words

The player plays as an agent of the Special Control Attack Team (S.C.A.T.), swapping between various security cameras trying to save the guests in the Martin home from vampire like creatures called "Augers". To do this, the player controls a series of traps that will kill the creatures if they are set off at the right time and if the agent is watching the room the Augers show up in. Depending on the player's timing and the colors of the cameras the player can either succeed or fail. The player can also reach different endings depending on how many Augers and Martin family members are captured.
