The Library


Dracula is immensely gifted. From a young age, the Prince obsessively consumed the books in this library, quickly mastering any subject he took interest in.



Dracula mastered the Devil’s Alchemy on his own, before ever setting foot in Scholomance. He inherited this library, which contains many ancient tomes regarding the craft.



Dracula is most unsettled by a wise opponent. He has no fear for the strength of others, but he takes a wise opponent very seriously.



The Lich is an undead being that thirsts endlessly for knowledge. They are grandmasters of Witchcraft, harnessing terrible magic that can only be attained by those with several lifetimes worth of study.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

During our Kickstarter campaign, we reached the Treasury level stretch goal. Below are some screens of that stretch goal come to life! Thanks again to everyone that backed us and enabled us to construct this level!

Nice! Not unlike the Treasury stage from SCV4.

Treasury is one of my favorite environments in that game, which is why I wanted to construct my own version. I also liked the idea of a treasury level because of what Harker said about Castle Dracula in the book, describing being surrounded by immense wealth:

When I had done, I looked for a bell, so that I might let the servants know I had finished; but I could not find one. There are certainly odd deficiencies in the house, considering the extraordinary evidences of wealth which are round me. The table service is of gold, and so beautifully wrought that it must be of immense value. The curtains and upholstery of the chairs and sofas and the hangings of my bed are of the costliest and most beautiful fabrics, and must have been of fabulous value when they were made, for they are centuries old, though in excellent order.

Interesting. It's a shame that such a thing wasn't in the 1992 movie.

I fucking love that you used the term "Scholomance". I've been delving more into Romanian folklore lately and this is a delightful piece.


I own this game and still need to play it. With all the free time I don't have, of course.

This will be a short update, but we are happy to announce that we have something big coming in June. We have kept mostly silent these past few months, but we are almost ready to show you how far we have come. The game is nearing completion, and we have yet to reveal our biggest surprise.

Stay tuned!
