Am I missing an intro story?

[Movian]

So I feel like I missed an intro FMV or intro text or something....
It could be it's all just implied and we figure it out as we go...

But just jumping into the game I feel like there is story I am supposed to know that I don't.

Just hoping to find out one way or the other.

You're told the general idea during level-up dialogues over the course of your first few runs.

Death committed some heinous crime, so the other gods have decided he needs to go. They can't enter his realm directly (presumably because they are immortal/are afraid of becoming vulnerable to death while in Death's realm), so they called for mortal champions to go while carrying Time's hourglass. This link allows gods to send boons to the champion, and if the champion perishes then their physical body is rewound back to before they entered the realm; they keep their knowledge and physical items, but lose blessings and stat changes.

I think a lot of it has been left intentionally vague, both because it's early access and probably not all finalized and also we only have one level worth of dialogue/story at the moment. Short of it, the characters have traveled to a summit entrance to hell where with the help of the god of Time have been given some sort of "Hourglass" that they can use to revive themselves if they die during their incursion to Death's realm. For various reasons each class wants to kill the god of Death, and many of the other members of the pantheon are helping them along for their own personal reasons. It seems death is arbitrarily killing and imprisoning souls in his realm, against the natural order, or something. Most of it is just the dialogues.

Yeah the story feels off from the get go feels like we missed some kind of intro cutscene.
