The only person missing is you, the brother of the bride, who is on your way from Stockholm, where you have defended the Union Jack in the noble art of fencing in the Olympics. You are to arrive later during the evening.
Sir Patterson is disappointed when the Count himself doesn't greet the family at their arrival, but still he lets the servants show them all to their rooms, without complaining too loudly. It is not until later--when the doors are slammed shut and locked behind them, that he realizes his mistake that they have become prisoners and are at the Count's mercy...
- Highly intense, first-person shooter, survival horror
- Enemies appearing shock style from everywhere
- A massive gothic castle with hundreds of rooms awaits your arrival
- The random architecture generator changes the layout of the castle and location of the characters every time you play
- Non-linear style game play, where different parts of the castle can be explored in whatever order you want
- Pick up and bring your foes down with classic vampire slayers like holy water, crucifixes, and wooden stakes or old-fashioned firearms like flintlock guns and muskets
- Some vampires can only be slain with specific weapons, which challenges the player's weapon tactics
- Spine-chilling scores and sound effects seamlessly orchestrated to keep you on the edge of your seat
- Eerie 3D-graphics with real-time lighting, grainy screens, fog, and mist to give you that classic horror feel

cool sh!t but buggy
npc get stuck or disappear , couldn't beat it bc of that annoying sh!t!
why bother save em if they are broken!
A fun game.
Damm this is sick as fuck
Jank but very fun. If you buy this, play on easy to learn attack patterns and the early locations of helpful stuff like the flintlock pistol. Loading quicksaves is very strange, since enemy spawns get randomized every time you load for some reason.
Resident Evil Village but bad
Moral of the story, don't go to romania
This game fucks hard
Great old school horror. The sound effects in this game make me jump all the time, enemies randomly spawning in corners you can't see, and a cool atmosphere.
weirdest game ive ever played
i have a headache
Tremendously flawed with some hilarious jank, there’s something so charming about all of it. And a blast.
You Rocky Balboa your way through vampires (no, REALLY, use your fists a lot) in this very atmospheric and campy trip, trying to find your lost family members before they’re killed throughout the Count’s castle. Very unique for its time, it has some ‘light’ rogue-lite elements with the randomized item and enemy spawns, and the game is a rough few hour experience, so replayability is existent. It’s the sort of thing you could really speedrun if you know the areas well enough as well as the key item drop locations.
Be sure to utilize the old school quick save and load function a lot. The game is revolving essentially around the whole escort mission scheme with those you save, and as one could expect, the AI is fairly shotty on the damsels’ part. Every other time you run too fast away or close a door inbetween yourselves, they think you’re leaving them alone. You have to keep nudging into them to regain their attention. Look back on them constantly while escorting them to where you need to and they usually follow more consistently. The biggest issue with the navigation overall is that several areas/rooms do look similar and that their designs aren’t exactly unique apart from one another. If your sense of direction is lacking, this may seem overwhelming or redundant. Stamina also runs out very easily and slows you down, but at least you have infinite fist power to counter 👊🏻! It doesn’t do the best job from the beginning to inform you, but the game is in fact running on a timer. If you don’t gather your folks and all by a specific time for each, they will die; they do provide perks and other items to help as a reward for their saving. Anyway, the timer aspect really does make you want to go at a faster pace without it ever feeling ‘too’ tight. It’s possible to get everything in one go.
Atmosphere, for a game of its time, is pretty engrossing with a ‘mostly’ effective soundtrack (it gets especially cheesy with the boss fights but with an older school camp kinda vibe) as well as with some mechanical jank that is only really best explained whilst playing it. Speaking of which, unfortunately, at least playing on the Deck, most of the cutscenes apart from the intro did not properly play for me, so the game just ultimately skipped them.
This really is a game of its time and it shows, but if you really start it from the get-go and become absorbed by the exploration factor with the campy aesthetic, as well as with a bit of patience, it’s a treat. Hidden gem for sure. The gameplay loop is simple but the game map helps it feel a bit bigger than it initially sounds. Even if not always mechanically sound, this is conceptually an interesting experience. Both fun ‘and’ funny at times to play. Absolutely worth 3 quarters from your pocket when this goes on sale. Even then, the $3 full price is well worth it.
Side note, please go see the new Nosferatu film; it’s absolutely gorgeous 👍🏻👍🏻.
You know why you are here...it is a black omen to journey in poor health.
amazing hidden gem I recommend this game to all survival horror fans
Nosferatu - Wrath of Malachi
A incredible FPS Horror Game from 2003. game still looks great and makes you take your time with the exploring.
The music is really haunting and had me on edge a number of times.
i really wish i played this back in the day, highly recommended now even with the lack of settings.
Check it out!
Actually, quite a nice game, i was just tired of these all same looking places and doors, was kind of confusing, takes a lot of time to navigate but in conclusion it's good
A really janky but surprisingly a pretty fun time.
Atmosphere is well done, the environments being this Gothic horror with mythical beasts is really cool and interesting as they work nicely as the enemy roster.
Massive downside would be the family AI's pathing, feels very similar to Dead Rising 1 where they get stuck easy, never/barely follow orders and just die most of the time which either fails the mission or you lose out on really powerful loot which is a shame. You can also get killed by doors which i found funny.
Overall it's a pretty fun time and it was much better than i expected.
a pinnacle of its time and an example of why the half life series was so revolutionary
no guiding the player to what or where theyre meant to go (good luck!)
it turns out YOUR FISTS are your most powerful weapon (outside stakes for bosses)
youre pressured for time the entire game in order to win
stamina will handicap you constantly
however when you arent feeling the wrath of poor user guidance, its a ridiculously fun game. where else can you beat the shit out of demonic creatures with just your fists?
This game is very interesting and horror but it has only one annoying thing is that the beasts don't die quickly
захватывающе!
don't listen to the bad reviews, this game rocks
The concept of a fight aganist monsters and time to save your family is great but not done well here in my experience.Areas like it usually is with procedally generated maps repeat themselfs alot and make traversing quite dull and make you easily lost,combat is either easy or painfull due to enemies,their ai(the dfificulty options also range from easy to getting one tapped by light touches on max) and the lackluster hitboxes.Companion ai also forces you to babysit them and come near them nearly every time you get attacked by an enemy which is oh so great.James(the protagonist) movement suffers from ''protagonist cant sprint or do anything physical for 5 seconds'' syndrome and speaking of that companions have a tendency to hurt themselfs by jumping of high places so keep that in mind.All in all i tried to like this game but simply couldnt,i can at the very least give props to devs for trying something diffrent and at least making the atmosphere good.I bought the game cheap so i dont feel bad for buying it but i was hoping for something better than this
Solid game. Very simple, but also very fun, and it can be surprisingly difficult depending on RNG. Runs well on modern hardware, and there’s some degree of replayability due to the random item/NPC placement. Worth the money for sure.
great game!
good
wow i felt nosferatus wrath inside me 10/10
I LOVE KILLING PEOPLE
I'm going back & forth between feeling like this is a really really cool old-school horror experience with good replayability, & being frustrated at the incredible lack of cohesion.
First, I completely & totally explored every single possible side room at the beginning. I killed every monster, I literally touched every square inch of every possible area to its fullest, & could not locate the East Wing key. I probably went into each side room, Graveyard, etc 4 times each, all while trying the East Wing door every time I did a loop, & for some reason after the 4th time looping through every single area, touching every chest, every gravestone, everything, I suddenly had the East Wing key & was able to open the door. It made less than zero sense, & felt incredibly frustrating, like Water Temple in OoT frustrating.
So, I ventured into the East Wing with like 40 minutes left until Midnight, once again explored every inch of every area, wondering why the room with the furnaces & anvils didn't have any monsters or items at all, & found the East Wing Tower door. Of course I didn't have the key. Same ol, same ol. So, once again, I spent multiple loops of the area trying to find the key. Amongst the tons of empty chests, boxes you can't move or break blocking doors, & the smaller size of the area, it was very clear that I wasn't finding anything new in the East Wing either. I destroyed the Portal, & there's nothing in the room to collect. No drop for defeating an obvious "mini boss" type situation. I did EVERYTHING, & was still never able to figure out how to go further into the East Wing Tower. I looked it up, & everyone online says that the keys are supposed to spawn in the chests normally like the ammo & health items, but not once did I ever get any key, nor any message saying "East Wing key collected" like I did for the health, ammo & stakes. I still don't even know how I somehow got the key on my 4th loop even though I did the exact same motions I did 3 times prior. & right when I destroyed the Portal in the East Wing, I got a message saying my Aunt died because I wasn't fast enough, even though the walkthrough I checked said you're supposed to save the family physician in the East Wing.
Altogether, this game desperately begs for an upgrade, remaster, remake, something to tighten up the awful repetitive gameplay that plagues this otherwise beautiful, Gothic, horrifically disgusting game, because the game itself minus the repetition & confusion, does seem very ahead of its time. The controls, the speed of gameplay, it reminds me of an older version of Witch Hunt (if you haven't played Witch Hunt, GO PLAY IT RIGHT NOW). I very much cannot say this game is bad, because it isn't. It's like finding out a 4 star restaurant gave you a dirty fork with your beautiful Gordon Ramsay steak dinner. A really amazing experience hindered by one small thing that completely & totally ruined the entire game for me. This is the 2nd time I've given this game a shot, & the 2nd time I've ended up running in circles because the EAST WING KEY WILL NOT SPAWN. It's not that I'm missing a room, & suddenly find it & the key. I mean like I am literally revisiting the same rooms multiple times & on the 4th time, suddenly I'm given the ability to use a key that the game never told me I was given. I think an actual Inventory system would benefit this game quite a bit, like if you press "I" it brings up everything you have like keys, ammo, etc. You could also hold the extra health packs you find without them being auto used & wasted, or having to leave them until you need them. A really fantastic game hindered by older game design & limitations. If there was an Inventory, I at least could have had a visual indicator when I finally had the key. Then, again, the exact same situation repeated itself as soon as I got inside the East Wing. I wanted this game to be as amazing as it seemed when I started it up, but the awful "randomizer" & lack of visual confirmation when you have items, combined with not being able to stock health items or ammo, really really holds this game back.
I still recommend this game, simply because nobody else seems to be having the issues that I'm having. I did want to make it very clear, though, what you may be in for. Sure, everybody might say it's a "skill issue" but again, I literally repeated the exact same actions 4 times until I was just suddenly able to open the door. Not really a skill issue.
Cool gothic horror survival FPS with vampires and ghouls and gargoyles and shadow creatures and all that. Great aesthetic, great atmosphere, save often in case you get killed by a door. You will be escorting family members and yes they will get caught on stuff.
I felt the wrath
I was enjoying this terrible game until the crucifix was knocked from my hand and despawned which effectively ended my campaign. Thanks for wasting my time with this trash. 1/5
A janky, fun as Hell, horror, fps, dungeon crawler, roguelike. Pure SOVL. Perfect for the autumn season.
REALLY FUN!!!
A great hidden gem of a game. It's a shame the difficulty is so low you can beat it in 5 hours.
It breaks my heart to give this game a negative review as I remember playing it as a kid somewhere in the middle of 2000s and being so, SO scared of it. It's quite funny to think about it now, almost 20 years later. Point is, this game was legitimately terrifying back then. One of the most immersive games I've played at the time. All that being said, it didn't age well. Here's why:
1) Modern compatibility. Moreso, the lack of it. The game performs poorly on both Windows 10 and Windows 7. As a result, you get bugs, so many bugs. Frequent crashes, too. I even managed to get softlocked at the final boss. Isn't that a delight?
2) Frustrating game design. First, saving system. There's no autosave feature. You have to remember to save manually, and you have to do so frequently because of aforementioned bugs and crashes. Steam Cloud isn't supported so if you delete your game, your save file will be gone. Second, companions AI. The companions, your family members, are the most frustrating part of the gameplay loop. Getting them from point A to point B is a chore and, often, isn't even worth it. They get stuck, hurt themseves on the way and straight up refuse to follow you whenever there's a monster nearby. The last one is intentional game design, my guess is to make the game longer and, in some regard, harder, but it comes off more annoying than difficult and makes the overall fast paced gameplay less fun.
3) Vague instructions/objection. You're supposed to save your family, but you'll have to figure out how yourself. The castle is huge and random, and it's very easy to get lost. Plus, you're always on the timer. After a few unsuccessful tries, I had to consult a guide just to progress the game. I doubt I could do that at the time this game was released.
In the end, I just can't recommend this game. I still think it's one of the most immersive old games I've played, the sheer atmosphere of the abandoned gothic castle is incredible, given the limited resources developers had. It's just a shame it didn't age all that well. No matter, I'm glad I have an opportunity to own this game on Steam.
You stake Vampires and Demon and finally get more than enough bullets to last the whole game! It's fun but physics will be your biggest enemy.
This game breaks subverts your expectations by having the vampire invite you into HIS home for a change. Real groundbreaking stuff.
