Good Game for Dark cold nights .

Superb Game !!! if you are able to play this on a square monitor DO IT!! with all the settings turned up this game plays very well. Graphics are good and sharp, I'm playing on a 19 inch 4:3 LCD monitor, try an old LCD tv with a VGA input possibly... Creepy fast paced, jump scare game with ugly vampires and other ghoulish things in the dark . cheap and cheerful ,

A credit to the creators

Pros : Every game has a different castle layout The weapon balance is superb, with only one arguably becoming obsolete The enemies are varied, with differing speeds, tactics, and weaknesses/immunities There is a ticking-clock mechanic Rarely did I feel like I "didn't know what to do" since there's always someone to rescue Rooms reacquire enemies after a time - there's never a feeling of safety Some enemies lie in ambush, but the ticking clock working in Real Time towards Midnight (and later Dawn) makes careful exploration dangerous in its own right. Each boss felt different (one was even a puzzle fight) You can mess up, let people die, and still complete the game with a 'victory' (albeit a harder won one) When you reload you lose the ammo left in your gun, instead of instantly adding bullets into a half-empty magazine (ala most FPSs excepting the Rainbow Six ones) Unlockable doors keep backtracking to a minimum (four or five rooms for the most part) Cons : The enemies aren't scary The graphics show their age (but aren't awful) There are a few bugs (some beneficial) There is a flaw in logic at the end that made a good deal of the struggle/stress from a particular aspect of the game irrelevant (I'm trying not to go into spoiler territory) In short, it's a fun little replayable First Person Shooter (/ Brawler) with multiple levels of interesting choices going on at any given time. If you finish a fight with just two rounds in your handgun do you reload, wasting those two, or go into the next fight having to almost immediately pause to reload? Do you 'slice the pie' and check corners on your way into a room, or do you sprint through because you want to rescue (Person X) before midnight and can't afford to be cautious? Do you breach a new room brandishing your crucifix (and blocking half your screen) to drive back vampires, or toting your pistol to gun down any hell hounds waiting in ambush? Small caliber revolver or slow, massive flintlock? Enjoyable!

Autentic Old School Vampire Hunter Game

This game is one of the best action Vampire Games never made. The enviroment and atmosphere are very well made. The gameplay is a bit robotic but in the good sense, you kill the vampires with strong actitude not extremely precision required, this is not a tactical shooter. The story is interesting and well written. The castle is big so you have many rooms to explore. The game Have this charm details that you love from games of that era. This game make you experience a old-school horror movie like nosferatu, shadow of the vampire, bram stoker dracula...

Lo-Fi Disaster

I am not often let down by GOG games with 4+ stars. However, this game is so bad I don't want anyone else to suffer my fate. I love horror games and try to buy these gems exclusively from GOG. Having enjoyed everything from The Cat Lady to F.E.A.R., this game looked right up my alley. After a little over two hours, though, I can't recommend this game for anything but nostalgia. This game is not a good FPS. The hit boxes are atrocious, your bullets seemingly cannot travel more than 20 feet, the flintlock pistol somehow does more damage than your revolver, and the enemies are annoyingly repetitive. Sure, the ghouls (and zombies... and dogs... and bosses...) might look different than the vampires, but they all run blindly towards you and attempt to beat you to death with their three-pixel wide claws. These recycled enemies randomly respawn in any and all rooms, constantly draining your limited ammo. This game makes you retrace your steps multiple times, and the designers apparently thought random enemies would make things more interesting. After killing the same ghoul for the fifth time on the fourth pass through the same room, believe me, it gets old. Fortunately, the laws governing your bullets apply to the zombie musketmen as well, but once you get within 20 feet, you better hope you have a ranged weapon, because these crack shots will down you before you even think about pulling out your sword cane. And that's IF your ammo doesn't mysteriously disappear from your inventory while switching weapons. The controls are sketchy, at best. Going over any bump or debris on the floor will often cause your camera to jerk uncontrollably upwards. Your character is not in good shape, as he can sprint for about 3 seconds. He must be very fat, as well, as melee enemies can deal damage from bizarrely long distances. And I haven't even mentioned the nonexistent plot, the obscenely sub-par graphics, or the epileptic cutscenes. Don't buy this game, it's not worth it.

Good premise, bad ideas, horrid result.

Timer = anti-exploration. I have seen so many horror games assume that this is a good idea. "It adds urgency!" No, it makes players feel forced to rush the experience. That's the best way I can describe it, I feel like I'm speedrunning this whole thing. While it's not hard to do so, you still have to do so. I would have preffered much deeper, more well thought out combat mechanics for a methodacle experience. "We haven't figured out this AI thing, let's add in escort missions!" And low-and-behold, you get a dummy following you around who gets stuck in walls, waits if you run too far, and loves to get in the way of your line-of-fire. Where do I even begin with this combat? The flintlock pistol is by far the most satisfying, mostly because it kills things in one hit. But everything else is a mess of throwing things and Wii-mote swinging until it dies. It all feels really ungraceful; there's no rythm to it. Just mash-mash-mash because there's no dodging or weaving around any of this. Enemies are like industrial magnets with cheap shot attacks. And you can tell you're supposed to get hit, because it showers you with med-kits. MY. FREAKING. EARS. "How do I make sounds for a horror game? Oh, I'll make the player go deaf every time an enemy shows up!" I get it, it's classic horror music, but it's not "classic", it's outdated. Old horror movies blasted you with headache inducing noise. It's a shame because it occassionally has some atmospheric moments, making me keep toggling music on and off. In conclusion: Don't even bother purchasing. You're getting nothing out of this by playing it yourself. Just watch a video playthrough so that you can see how much time you're wasting with this. It's a game we WANT to be good, but it just isn't. Play Clive Barker's Undying instead. A much better experience for what is roughly the same concept. Procedural generation doesn't mean your game is replayable or even worth playing in the first place.
