Walkthrough

Your vampiric powers:

• You can hypnotize some people. They will now follow you and obey your orders. You can also free them when you're done with them. Note you must be in human form during your entire time with a hypnotized victim.
• You can turn yourself into a bat, a wolf, a cloud of fog, or back into a man.
• As a bat: you can fly well and you can carry one small item in your claw.
• As a wolf: you are strong, you can howl, and you can carry one item in your jaws.
• As fog: you can fly poorly (only horizontally), can squeeze through narrow cracks, and are difficult to attack. You can't carry anything.
• As a man: you can carry many things at once, speak, use devices, bite people, etc.

Extras

Characters

• There are also assorted groups of creatures such as the dead of the steppe, the spirits on the path, the witches and monsters in the pumpkin, and the spectres in the ravine.

Also mentioned:
