This first person shooter/survival horror (a pleasant combination!) will pit player versus a league of bloodthirsty vampires.

"Nosferatu is the perfect blend of terror and action and will appeal to fans of both genres," said Rick Bosch, CEO of iGames Publishing. "Is there a better place for gamers to spend the night than in a castle full of vampires?"

Both an atmospheric survival horror experience and intense first person shooter, Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi immerses players in an ancient, gothic castle full of vampires where the monstrous undead lurk around every corner.

While trying to survive, players who travel these shadowy halls and dank dungeons must also free their imprisoned friends and family. Failure to rescue the prisoners will not only result in their death, but in the resurrection of an ancient supernatural being that threatens mankind.

A random architecture generator will change the castle layout and location of characters every time and players can explore the castle in any fashion they choose.

Classic weapons abound, such as holy water, crucifixes, wooden stakes, flint-locks and muskets. Certain powerful vampires can only be put to final rest with specific weapons, challenging the player's weapon tactics with each encounter.

With 3D graphics, real-time lighting, grain, fog, and mist particle effects accompanied by a spine-chilling musical score and creepy sound effects, spines will tingle with dread as vampires spring out of nowhere and the enemies grow increasingly aggressive and violent.
