I AM ABRAHAM VAN HELSING - PHYSICIAN, SCHOLAR, AND RELUCTANT HUNTER.
From my study in Amsterdam, I was summoned east by a letter from my old friend Jonathan. His words spoke of disappearances, of shallow graves filled with the nameless, and of a creature that walks between worlds.
My path was set for a remote village in the Carpathian Mountains - yet before I could reach it, the night rose against me. My stagecoach was overturned, my companions slaughtered, and I awoke alone in the Knight's lodge, the air thick with the smell of blood and damp earth. The trail leads into the Hoia Baciu Forest - a place whispered of in superstition, where the living and the dead walk side by side.
A GOTHIC SURVIVAL HORROR EXPERIENCE
Redemption of the Damned blends tense, deliberate combat with methodical investigation, set across hand-crafted locations. From the haunted forest to the cursed village, from abandoned chapels to nightmarish fortresses reached only by occult gates, each step draws me closer to Dracula’s generals - and the truths they guard.
I am no superhuman hero. Ammunition is scarce, wounds slow the body, and the mind can falter in the face of unspeakable horrors. In this land, every decision carries weight… and the darkness is always watching.
Investigate the Unnatural
Track Dracula’s generals by examining corpses, analysing wounds, and piecing together the clues others would overlook.
Craft to Endure and Destroy
Salvage and forge weapons, ammunition, and tools from the remnants of a dying land - from hand-built pistols and silver-shot cartridges to holy relics and improvised stakes.
Unravel Clues and Solve Puzzles
The environment itself is a labyrinth of secrets. Study symbols, decode writings, and connect fragments of knowledge to reveal the path ahead.
Fight with Purpose
Carefully study your enemy, prepare thoroughly and choose the appropriate way to kill. Melee combat, traditional and unique firearms, and, of course, specific ways of killing are available to you.
Every shot counts. Learn each creature’s behaviour and weaknesses - be it silver, stake, flame, or relic - and strike with precision. But be careful as enemies learn and adapt to your combat style also!
KILL THE BEAST - IF YOU DARE
Dracula’s generals are not mere monsters, but ancient minds honed by centuries of cruelty. To face them unprepared is to court death; to defeat them is to cut deeper into the Count’s dark dominion.
A Chronicle of Horror
Encounter characters and creatures steeped in the lore of Dracula and Slavic superstition, each encounter revealing another shadow in the grand design.
