Here’s an overview of the game, via TV Tropes:
The story follows the life of a young man who sees something he shouldn’t have seen, is captured and brainwashed by a shadowy organization called Inferno and then is given the choice “join or die”. He is trained as an assassin by a soft-spoken girl called Ein. Ein is Inferno’s top assassin, code-named “Phantom” and controlled by the sinister Scythe Master, who also brainwashed the man. The man is given the name Zwei and begins his work at Inferno.
