Description
LIFT THE VEIL OF DARKNESS AND ENCOUNTER THE NEW FACE OF HORROR!

Bloody from the flaming wreckage of your cargo plane, you stagger into a desolate village in a time-forgotten valley. With each step, you slide deeper into a horror beyond reason. A terrifying tale unfolds - of Kairn, a man compelled to murder his father and brothers. A man with an all-consuming lust for power. A man who feasts on human blood! You must destroy this blood-mad demon and his flesh-devouring ghouls and werewolves. Or you will die.

Will you be the final victor? Or Kairn’s next victim?

  • Unravel terrifying riddles. Fulfill bone-chilling quests. Clash in a deadly face-off with the vampire Kairn.
  • Fight for your life in one of three combat levels. Use the right weapon to destroy each ghoul, werewolf and zombie. Or die.
  • Meet a host of spectral characters whose dark secrets reveal more of the mystery.
  • Sink deep into this gothic nightmare adventure with state-of-the-art gameplay.
  • Record every step you take in dungeons with line-of-sight auto-mapping and print-out features.

Nostalgic childhood game

It's pretty old and there's more pixels than facial features but for me it withstood the test of time. Always enjoy coming back to it
