10 itemsAbout the Game
YOU CAME TO KILL A VAMPIRE
You entered the castle to kill its master. Now the gates are sealed, the sun is setting, and the vampire is waiting for Nightrise. To reach him, you’ll have to learn the castle’s secrets, fight through its servants, and hold on to the faith that makes you dangerous.
NO KEYS. ONLY KNOWLEDGE.
The castle was built to keep hunters wandering until nightfall.
Fireplaces rotate. Bookcases slide aside. Portraits conceal corridors, and familiar rooms connect in unexpected ways. Notes left by fallen hunters reveal traps, mechanisms, and fragments of the path ahead. Learn how the castle works, and you can dismantle the defenses protecting its master.
YOUR AMMO IS THE FURNITURE
You only brought so many stakes. Fortunately, the castle is full of wood.
Smash furniture apart to replenish your ammunition.
Pierce multiple enemies with a single shot.
Pin monsters to walls, floors, and anything else behind them.
Fire through open flames to ignite your stakes.
Every chair is a weapon—once you break it.
FAITH AS GAMEPLAY
Faith is not merely part of the story. It is a resource you should protect.
Channel it through your cross to stun enemies, defend yourself, and stay alive. But the castle will offer you forbidden powers—and every advantage asks you to surrender some of the faith you need to survive.
What will you compromise to complete the hunt?
BEFORE NIGHTRISE
Vampire Hunter: Nightrise is a focused, handcrafted first-person adventure combining brutal FPS combat, exploration, hidden passages, and a story about pride, temptation, and belief.
The deeper you travel into the castle, the more the hunt turns back on you—testing your convictions before you finally confront your prey.
One castle. One night. One vampire.
Find him before he finds you.
