I beat Night Trap with a guide and I don't feel guilty about doing so. The game is bizarre, what it demands from you is a loop of experimentation to see what you missed and memorization of Auger spawns after each death though it doesn't communicate why you died as sometimes it's because you missed too many Augers while other times you will die because certain Augers/vampires are absolutely necessary to capture and will result in a game over if you miss them. The windows are so tight for some Auger captures, and along with how plentiful they are, you are entirely distracted from following along with the story though it is necessary to listen in on the story for code changes but the game design feels contradictory as it keeps your attention off of it to an extreme degree. I sat down and watched the full movie after the fact, and beyond its quality, it was really silly and fun. The movie is atrociously 80's with cheesy acting, characters, and effects. You will have a lot more fun with a friend reading off Auger spawn times and goofing around with what you catch of the story with them, how I enjoyed the game with my brother.
