There's a suicidal Vampire loose in his castle!
And you are his... VampySitter!!

He waked up looking for someone to satisfy its
unspeakable thirst of BLOOD.

Help him find suitable sacrifices for his
monstruosity.
Move the camera with the malevolent WASD keys.

Look out for his thirsty meter on the upper
right corner for its emptiness shall end
Our Vampy's life! Stop reading! Go for
Your master's food!

Look out for those Pointy stakes!
Just click them out our vampy's way.

Beware of the deadly pits of hell as the
castle change their location beneath
the shadows.
One false step and your vampy-sitting check
will never be yours.

Luckly you took a Garlic from your momma's kitchen.
Use it to take him away from danger!... or bring
them to sweetness.
Use it also to go with your meal somewhere safe
and cozy.

If danger lurks too close or suppertime is getting
late you can always "persuade" your vampy
to go rapidly to some direction with your
trusty cross.

Lets keep Vampy alive!
