Strigoi: The Vampire Legend

Its one of these really messy and buggy indie 1 dollar games but for the right price you can complete it and be entertained with a simple vampire story for 2h. Its better than others that try to do the same at at least.

Strigoi: The Vampire Legend sets out to immerse players in a harsh, gothic survival-horror journey through the Carpathian Mountains, a setting steeped in myth and the dark mystique of centuries-old vampire folklore. The game opens with a simple but effective hook: a loved one has gone missing after traveling to Romania, and a desperate message compels you to follow her trail into a hostile, supernatural wilderness. From the outset, the atmosphere leans heavily into isolation and dread. Mist-soaked forests, abandoned villages, decrepit houses, and ancient burial grounds serve as the backdrop for a journey that feels deliberately lonely, with no allies to rely on and no guarantee of safety. When the environment, lighting, and soundscape align, the game captures the cold, oppressive tension of an Eastern European horror tale, where every flicker of light and distant noise hints at something watching from the shadows. Gameplay follows a hybrid formula of exploration, survival mechanics, and first-person combat.

In principle, the game is not bad, even interesting, but it is very buggy and works with failures. I click on "continue the game" and I just have a black screen and I have to start the game from the first chapter. In the third chapter, I was killed and my entire inventory was empty. However, the game is not bad: it has good graphics, interesting locations, and character models, as well as appropriate and creepy music. However, the game's bugs make it difficult to play and even more so to start from the first chapter, as the saves result in a black screen. I demand that the game's glitches be fixed, because it's a shame to pay money and play a game that I find interesting, but it's impossible to play.

what are you supposed to do besides die where is a weapon? no clues on what to do and a flashlight that does not work, can not get past first enemy need a key, where? the other house with a zombie that kills you can hit you from a mile away what is goin g on here?

Awful game. Not worth your time even if received for free. Should not have been released as a paid game.
