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 I get it, it's classic horror music, but it's not "classic", it's outdated.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.

Childhood Nightmare Made Into Videogame

Nosferatu as a FPS falls into the same place as King Kong the Game and Call of Cthulhu: DCotE, it's a weird but effective experiment that resembles a fever dream. Try to remember those constant childhood nightmares after watching Bram Stoker's Dracula or any vampire flick, because this game recreates that to perfection. You can perfectly sense that you are not playing an adaptation, but more like the developers' memories about those works, creating that dreaful ambience that your mind created during that horrific nightmares from your childhood. But there's no best way of explaining this that with the randomly generated castle, which, because of limitations of course, has this design that doesn't feel at all right, but thanks to that, gives the same uncanny valley feeling that a dream does, while also not being difficult to navigate through. Also, it keeps things away from being repetitive if you do a replay, even though the maze like nature of it can be quite boring. But of course there's more that just wandering through rooms, and there is a word that can describe the other aspects of the game: rawness. From the stock music and sounds, to the low graphics and unstable shooting, and yet, I have enjoyed this, because, again, it resembles those childhood nightmares where your young brain had to use the sounds and looks of a movie just to scare you while also creating a place that made you feel uneasy, like this game's randomly generated castle does. This time, you are not a scared kid, but a Van Helsing like hero who has come to revisit those old nightmares in order to put an end to them with your full set of holy weapons and tactics, and boy, what a fun time I had while doing it. A truly cool videogame for retro gamers and others who want to try something different, but be aware of the archaic nature of it.

Time-based speed running game

You must find you family before they get killed. The castle is randomized each round. This is not a game with a rich and deep story, it's a simple time-based runner. Albeit good at that.

A very good Vampire Slayer game.

This is an amazing game. When you think about it there are not that many games about vampire slaying out there, especially not that many good ones. There are some mainstays like Castlevania, but what if you're not in the mood for that type of experience? Nosferatu is a very good change of pace from what's out there and indeed it feels like if the old Vampire Slayer Half-Life mod had a real story campaign. If that sounds like something you'd like to play, give this game a whirl.

Like being in an old horror film

I'm finding this old game a lot of fun. The first thing I did was see if there was a way to set higher screen resolutions and I found a package of Noseferatu.exe files on the internet that allow you to play the in many different screen resolutions and aspect ratio's. You just copy the exe file for the resolution size you want and paste it into the main game directory and click overwite. The game is just good old fashioned horror fun. It's like starring in your own old vampire horror movie. You wander around, collect weeapons, like a sword, guns, stakes etc., even the cross acrts as a weapon that scares away vampires. The main goal is to find your family members and bring them to safety. There's monsters and vampires that spawn, some are easy to kill and others can be quite difficult. Where items are located is random and their are other random factors to the game that add some replayability. Overall I am very much enjoying this game and it was worth every penny.
