This is an adventure game with RPG elements featuring a fixed
isometric perspective and a fair share of action-RPG style combat. You take the
part of a cargo pilot whose plane is shot down by a mysterious force while flying
over a remote valley in Romania. A helpful village girl named Deirdre rescues you
from the crash and takes you to her father Kiril, who informs you that your arrival
via plane crash marks you as the chosen one who is prophesized to destroy Kairn.
Kairn is the local vampire lord who long ago murdered his father and brothers so he
could inherit control of the valley. Ever since he's used his powers to cut off
contact with the outside world Kairn has been living it up, torturing the villagers
with madness and death, feeding off of them like livestock, turning the village
women into his personal vampiress servants, and generally being a spoiled
pain-in-the-butt. Meanwhile the villagers are miserable, as every day they face the
possibility of either being devoured by werewolves, gnawed on by zombies, driven
into stark raving lunatics, or turned into vampires by Kairn and his posse. Since
Kairn has cut off all ways out of the valley the only way you're going to leave is,
as the old saying goes, over his dead body. That's not going to be very easy,
however. Wild animals and unnatural creatures roam the countryside. While some
villagers wise to help you rid them of Kairn, others have been driven mad with
despair and by the valley's oppressive aura, causing them to commit unspeakable
acts or otherwise act in an unhelpful manner. Even your most trusted allies may
turn out to have a few skeletons in the closet. |
