An FPS rougelite. You return from losing the Olympic fencing competition in Sweden to attend your sister's wedding, only to find your family and family friends captured and your sister about to be sacrificed to summon Lord Malachi. You fight with a silver cane sword, different types of guns (revolver, musket, flintlock), crosses, holy water, and stakes. You need to save as many people as you can in an 1.5 hours to weaken the final boss. The castle makes changes each time you play, though the overall design is the same just with different rooms, this does lead to a lot of generic looking rooms. It has a good atmosphere as well as good sound and music. Crosses and holy water have to be used to defeat certain enemies and stakes used on vampires that are found or that have retreated to their coffins. Not the most technically competent or most satisfying gunplay but everything works well enough together on top of a more unique idea at the time to make it enjoyable enough even all these years later.
