About Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi
✦ AI summary
You're a fencer trapped in a sprawling Gothic castle filled with vampires, armed with holy relics and period firearms to rescue your family before your sister's wedding turns into a nightmare. Procedurally generated architecture and permadeath mechanics mean every escape attempt is a fresh, terrifying fight for survival against enemies that demand specific weapons to defeat.
It is a misty evening in the year of our lord 1912. The Pattersons, a poor but proud aristocratic family of the British nobility, and some of their closest friends, arrive at the castle Malachi residence of a wealthy Romanian Count. It is only three days until the family's eldest daughter, Rebecca, is to be wed to the count's son, uniting the family with the rich heritage of the Malachi, hopefully restoring its glory.
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...

I loved it! The Atmosphere was very mysterious and spooky but at the same time it was calming. It was also a bit stressful knowing that there's a timer but I think I did good enough, only 3 people died in my first try2 found this helpful
okay game i like it but it makes me rage quit cuz i cant beat my personal best record :pray: idolfx pls fix
Speedrunners' wet dream right here; you are punished if your playthrough is longer than 2 hours. Otherwise, fun little game. I'd only recommend if you liked Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu, or vampires in general. I can't imagine myself replaying it again but still glad I played it and finished it.
This game ROCKS. Its absurdly hard to start off, even on easy difficulty, the follower npc ai's are genuinely terrible, you do a little hop EVERY SINGLE TIME you even skim over debris on the ground while running (causing a fall and slowing you down) and the stamina bar is annoyingly small (is James a chain-smoker, asthmatic or both?), but I honestly can look past all of these because they make this game something truly special. CHALLENGING!! and challengingly fun at that. These 'issues' mix with some very fun game mechanics very well, like one big stew. I particularly love the weapon switching you have to do to deal with different enemy types. It feels satisfying, like speaking a foreign language fluently, especially when you combo with shortcuts and take down a whole room full of a bunch of freaks! On top of that the atmosphere, the colors, the eerie sound design (which is also VERY janky at times because those sound queues have god awful trigger timing), the overall story and aesthetic choices, it just makes one whole neat wonderful package of esoteric goodness. I love this game. Its so special and so so so so so irritating.
I was skeptical of this game at first due to its age, but its actually extremely well paced and the gunplay feels like a lot of modern games. The movement however is a little wonky. Would recommend if you like any first person dungeon crawler type game or enjoy mapping things yourself (though you don't need to).
GOTY 10/10 YOU CAN KILL GIPSY VAMPIRE
