You play as a vampire racing through dark fantasy dungeons and castles. The first-person levels combine fast parkour with close-range melee combat against undead enemies.
Keep your momentum through jumps, wall runs, dashes, and other movement abilities. Killing enemies provides blood that fuels abilities and helps you accelerate, tying combat directly to traversal.
Explore branching routes for shortcuts, secrets, weapons, and abilities, then replay levels to improve your times and earn medals. The game also features extra levels, ghost races, and tools for custom community maps.
Players often praise the fluid, high-speed movement and the satisfaction of learning routes, shaving time off runs, and uncovering secrets. Many also enjoy the level design and soundtrack. Some reviews find the difficulty steep, and several object to later levels being gated behind better times or other replay requirements.
