Mindscape today announced Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi, a first-person vampire horror game from PAN Vision, inspired by the 1921 silent movie classic by F. W. Murnau.
The year is 1912 and you play the role of James Patterson, British sabre fencer, travelling to Carpathia to join the rest of your family and attend your sister's wedding. When you arrive at the mansion of the Romanian count your sister is due to marry, you find out that something has gone terribly wrong. Someone or something has kidnapped your family and the situation is rapidly turning into one wedding and four hasty funerals.
Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi is a vampire horror with an appropriately dark, gothic atmosphere blended using a combination of stake-stabbing 3D real-time graphics and a blood-sucking soundtrack. The resulting symphony of horror is enough to chill the bones of even the most hardened gamer.
Armed with an array of crucifixes, muskets, wooden stakes, machine guns, cane swords and plain ol' garlic, it's your job to stop the evil that is arch-vampire Malachi from sucking every last drop of your family blood dry. Along the way you'll also encounter other vampires, zombies, hellhounds and even flesh-eaters.
However, if you do fail on your first attempt to reckon with Malachi's wrath then fear not, as Nosferatu's gameplay is loaded with a silver bullet in the shape of a random game generator, enabling the creation of different monsters and scenarios every time a player starts a new game.
Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi was produced by PAN Vision, developed by idol fx and will be published in the UK by Mindscape on 14th May, priced at a mere £19.99.
