Superb little game. Definitely looking forward to it getting updated and cleaned up. Others have mentioned the malfunctioning buttons in places, already. You've managed to design a nice-feeling castle that feels lived-in without feeling cluttered. The art was very well chosen, and it even contains a few decent scares! I only sought out a single ending, but I'm seeing from the comments that there are multiple endings as well! This is very impressive for such a short time-span. I'll be excited to see where this goes in future updates, post-jam!

I love the style and vibes of this, it's very easy to get invested in the story. I loved trying for the different endings. Great job!

I loved the castle! It was well designed and looked very nice. The game itself was well put together and felt polished. Good job!

Developer

Wow! I was not expecting a Dracula game. Nice to play as Mina for a change! 

The castle is very cool. 

Developer(+1)

thank you!! I wanted to do more castle but the scope just wouldn't allow it, I think I'll make a followup that has you do more in/around the castle like walking on outside ledges and rooftops while trying to avoid detection from Dracula

Great aesthetic, and I loved the multiple endings and use of classical art. I'm not sure if this was intended (perhaps as a clue?), but viewpoint felt very tall, taller than the door frames.

Developer

thank you! that may have been a happy accident, there was a last minute bug that made the camera way too short and I may have overcompensated but I like it so now it's intentional

This was very good, I have watched Nosferatu. I think its the same as Dracula or based on it. One small thing was the Exit button doesn't work.

Developer(+1)

thanks! Yeah this is based on Dracula. and yeah the menus have some buttons that don't work, they'll be fixed after voting, I never got around to fixing those in the debug period

As a Dracula fan, this was pretty cool to play. Loved the references to the book.

Thanks! I fell in love with Dracula but found that there weren't nearly enough scenes in the Castle, and that inspired me to make this. I love building castles and ideally this has you exploring the castle top to bottom and outside on the roof, but that was way too big of a scope.
