Draskulla
Read full descriptionHide full description
Draskulla is a dramatic 2D action game where you play as an ancient vampire who has awakened from a thousand-year slumber. Instead of a majestic castle, you wake up in a desolate cemetery where all exits are sealed by the wind. Your mission is to crawl through the darkness, collecting Blood from animals, bones from rotting corpses, and wood from abandoned coffins. All of these products will be exchanged for Ancient Serum, the only key to open the gate to escape the mine land.
