Scary Mannequins.

The atmosphere was horrifying. There's a film grain on the screen at all times giving the game that antique look. I loved the music. It fit the look of the game. The only problem I had were the people I had to rescue. You have to escort them to safety and they don't always follow you. Plus, they hop around in an unrealistic fashion. Game physics does not apply here.

Turn off the lights and be prepared to be scared out of your pants

This is a decent game, but I'll say right up front that it's difficult to control and if you get frustrated easily with getting killed in the game numerous times before you get the feel then this game isn't for you. Personally this is how I felt while playing it and went back to it a few times to get a better feel for it so that I could enjoy myself more.

The game itself is all about the atmosphere. Set in a gothic castle, you'll find yourself looking behind yourself from time to time when you're not sure if it's a rat or some lumbering zombie that is making noise in the distance.

The goal of the game is to save your relatives by leading them to a safe zone in the castle. An additional challenge is that you're faced with time limits to save different family members as you learn more about their fate. It appears to have a high replay value as the castle layout is regenerated for each new game.

A first-person action game with some terrific atmosphere, most of its chills are of the "gotcha" variety - monsters droppin from ceiling or exploding from below grounds are a crowd favorite. While it's a bit unpolished and repetitive, and resorts to action when tension might be better generated through inaction, it still manages to impress.
All your family members are being held hostage by some nasty vampires and the clock is ticking. If you don't rescue them within a certain amount of time, they will be killed.
The game gets off to a rough start. The lack of polish in the 3D engine is somewhat compensated by interesting art direction. A filter over the entire screen gives the game a strange gritty, and slightly ou-of-focus feel.
You spend an inordinate amount of time backtracking through repetitive and dull areas. The combat itself could have been better as well. You walk into a room, wait for the guys to attack, rinse, lather and repeat.
Nosferatu has some good ideas. With a bit more polish and some minor design changes to add variety and alter the pace, it could easily enter the upper echelon of PC horror games.
