Hunt the creatures of the dark. ctrl/l-click to fire crossbow alt/r-click to suck blood
Try going to fullscreen if having input problems. :)
Tips: Blood sucking briefly stuns the opponent but has a bit of a cooldown Stay away from the enemies, they are stronger than you and require a fistful of bolts to slay If you're having problems with bolts appearing, try firing more emphatically The entry door above you cannot be opened The big ghost is the end

@Team Klappermann The enemies are slowed by injuries, so keeping your distance and firing quickly is super helpful. The bloodsucking thing is kinda a last resort (or ammo saver), it does stun them briefly and heal you a little (as well as steal their power) but getting that close is dangerous!
@PowerSpark Thanks for the feedback! It's hard for us to make the game the right amount of challenging since we've played the game a bunch and are not coming at it with fresh eyes. :)
I loved the start of the second night where I was traveling through the darkened hallways. Really made me feel like I was stalking my enemies.
How do you kill the ghosts? I think they were succubus that killed me and my bolts seemed to go right through them. Biting did;t work out so well either.
It would have been nice to have some sort of feedback about how long the cooldown on mine and the enemies attacks were.
@MiniBobbo Glad you liked it! :D There is no killing the ghosts, we had an idea that sucking the blood of a homunculus would let you interact with or be invisible to the ethereal ghosts but that was one of many features that was dropped due to time. :P Yes to the cooldowns too, for sure we'll add that if we take the game any further! :)
Fun idea, great use of physics (pushing ghosts and werewolves around with tables is fun). I like the dark atmosphere too, it adds a nice horror/spooky element to the mix.
There could be more feedback on what happens during combat though, there seems to be something missing there.
The first reason for it is because I can't kill the first werewolf. Those bolts don't goes far away from me, except a very few ones. And the "try to shoot more emphatically" solution just make me run out of bolts before they kill me. So that's not a solution...I guess the player's collision blocks them to go further. Check it.
The second reason is that I have to close the game to restart it. Already did it like 7 times.
Well, the graphics are nice. But there're no animations. Sad...it could be gorgeous with those graphics. The music goes well with the mood, giving a bit of suspense to the player. But, apart of the sucking skill, there's nothing new.
Needs some fixes, like those I write above. And the werewolf's strength. Overpowered. And if the strength of them is a must, then control the numbers of them. 2 of them at the beginning is too hard to fight, including the "bolts shooting" problem.
Overall, the game is regular. Check those problems.
Great Art, music and game. I like the setting and its quite challenging and intriging to discover the levels. I didnt find any reset button so I need to close/reopen the game each time. Keep up the good work !

Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.
Fun, atmospheric little game! Nice pipe organ tune. I liked how you could either shoot arrows or suck blood, but I felt like maybe there needed to be something else to the blood sucking, like maybe a cooldown. Overall, pretty cool!

All in all, good work :)
