Nosferatu, a feared vampire; no one has ever seen him and survived to tell. At night, he awakens to suck blood from his poor victims. The evil has to be stopped! A young man rides to the dungeon to kill Nosferatu and rescue his loved one.
Prince of Persia style gameplay is featured in Nosferatu , where the protagonist travels on platform structures, relying on acrobatic moves to overcome traps. The hero also fights enemies with his bare fists, similar to the game. A time limit exists, which can be extended by collecting an hourglass power-up. Other power-ups include colored crystals that heal or increase life energy.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
*Nosferatu* is an action-adventure game where players control a courageous hero named Kyle on a perilous quest to rescue his beloved maiden from the titular vampire. To end the creature's reign of terror, players must infiltrate a dark, accursed castle and battle through an army of darkness filled with deadly obstacles.
Story
The Accursed Castle
As the passing day resides into night a cold and dark presence overwhelms the land. Looming in the moonlight, shadowing the dead ground below, is the accursed castle of Nosferatu. Ancient in history, deadly in the present, this remnant of times past has griped the land with death and terror.
The Creature of Night
Nosferatu, creature of night, a name feared by all. His reign of terror stretches across the land with unspeakable horrors. Those few who have seen him dare not speak his name. Those unfortunate to meet him have never been seen again.
Kyle's Quest
Only one races to end the terror. Only one with the courage of many takes to arms to rid the land of Nosferatu. Kyle, driven by his quest, races to save his fair maiden taken by Nosferatu.
Time is a factor as he draws closer to the castle. Many obstacles lay ahead, but Kyle has no remorse for those in his path. An army of darkness awaits. Kyle's Quest will be long and hard.
How to Play
Getting Started
To get right into the game, press Start to advance to the Menu Screen.
Press the Control Pad up/down to select Game Start, then press the Start Button.
Press Start again to skip the story animation. Prepare yourself!
Continue
Kyle may continue his quest after being defeated. At the Continue Menu, use your Control Pad to select YES or NO to continue his journey to Nosferatu. Kyle may continue as many times as you wish.
Please note that if you continue too many times, it will alter the ending of the game.
But if you decide that Erin would rather live forever, become an evil vampire, and roam the world searching for helpless victims, then choose NO.
Stage Construction
The stages encountered by Kyle are filled with traps and monsters, so be careful.
Stage 1 is structured as follows:
•
Level 1: Main Level, Sub-Level
•
Level 2: Main Level, Boss
•
Total: 2 main levels, 1 sub-level, and 1 Boss level

Moving from Area to Area
In each stage, Kyle must find the exit to move on to the next sub-level and Main Levels. Explore all levels for hidden treasures.
Some doors are open for Kyle to walk through. Other doors are closed, and Kyle must find hidden switches to open these doors and proceed on.
Switches and Walls
Many switches and false walls litter the massive mazes and halls of Nosferatu's fortresses. Kyle must select wisely in some cases.
