After proving his worth to his sire, Christof reveals his true nature to Anezka, making the young nun begin her own quest to free her beloved from vampirism. To avoid Tzimisce payback and to acquire a powerful pawn, she embraces the poor heart-stricken crusader. Slaying this strong Kindred is no small feat, thus catching the eye of Ecaterina the Wise, the local Brujah leader. During this task, Christof stumbles upon animal ghouls and their Tzimisce master. In the meantime, he is commanded by the local bishop to cleanse the silver mines of a dwelling evil. During his recovery, our hero falls in love with one of the local nurses, Anezka. Unfortunately, during his travels through Czechoslovakia, Christof is severely wounded and ends up waking in a Prague Monastery. The game puts you in the shoes of Christof Romuald, a young Knight of the Order of Saint-Jean, sent to retake the Holy Land. While that might sound blasphemous to pen-and-paper RPG fans, the game is actually quite enjoyable for many reasons. Anyway, they turned the setting into an heavily story-driven hack’n slash. Nihilistic Software, for their first game, thought otherwise or maybe they didn’t have a choice. After the brief summary offered about the setting, you might think that only a Western RPG cleverly mixing choices and political intrigue can be true to Rein-Hagen’s lovechild.
