Cuphead lives in the Inkwell Isles with his brother, Mugman, and their guardian, the Elder Kettle. | Cuphead lives in the Inkwell Isles with his brother, Mugman, and their guardian, the Elder Kettle. One day, despite the Elder Kettle's many warnings, the brothers wandered far away from their home and found themselves at the Devil's Casino. Their winning streak at {{iw|wikipedia|Craps}} impressed the casino's owner, the Devil, who tempted them by betting all of the casino's riches, promising to take away the brothers' souls should they lose. Blinded by greed and ignorant of his brother's warning, Cuphead rolled the dice, but ultimately lost the gamble. With the brothers pleading for their lives spared, the Devil cut a deal with them, letting them live should they retrieve the Soul Contracts of the debtors who previously gambled with him. After receiving a potion from the Elder Kettle that allows them to fire bullets by snapping their fingers, the brothers set off to collect the Soul Contracts. | ||
Along their journey, Cuphead and Mugman are helped by friendly residents of the isles and challenged by the runaway debtors, who put up a fight to prevent their contracts from being taken. In the isles' mysterious Mausoleums, they encounter the spirit of the Legendary Chalice, who provides the brothers with powerful Super Arts but often finds herself captured by other ghosts. Once Cuphead and Mugman return all of the contracts, the Devil offers them the choice of handing the contracts to him and having them join his team. When they refuse, the Devil is enraged and challenges them himself. The brothers finally defeat the Devil and burn the Soul Contracts, releasing the debtors from his grasp and causing everyone to celebrate. | Along their journey, Cuphead and Mugman are helped by friendly residents of the isles and challenged by the runaway debtors, who put up a fight to prevent their contracts from being taken.
