Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi
A vampire-hunting FPS with a ticking clock and shifting castle halls.
Last updated
In the horror-themed first-person action title Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi, players control the protagonist.[1] Within ninety minutes, the player must explore a castle and rescue each family member.[1] Each new game session features a castle interior that is procedurally arranged.[2]
Key facts and history
The player starts with only fists and a silver cane sword as weapons.[1] Later weapons include a flintlock pistol, flintlock musket, and a Webley Revolver.[1] GameSpot stated the developer "has provided outstanding thrills and chills" despite not creating the most technically sound horror game.[3] Unrescued relatives perish, compelling the player to act quickly.[1]
Metacritic, a review aggregator, classified the game's critical reception as "mixed or average."[3]
