A top-down survival game about rescuing victims before monsters reach them, built for two players and much better that way. Weapons are improvised and scarce. It is genuinely hard in an unforgiving arcade sense — limited continues, no map, and later levels where finding the last neighbour eats more time than surviving does.

An isometric action RPG with a gothic, faintly comic tone, carried by the running commentary between Van Helsing and his ghostly companion Katarina, who is also a functional part of your build. The atmosphere and writing lift it above the usual Diablo clone. Build variety is where it runs out — few late-game specs are viable, so experimentation quietly funnels you back to the obvious ones.
