Game Pitch | “THE CURTAIN”

The Curtain is a campy, side-scrolling Metroidvania game, set in 1974 during the Cold War. You play as Vlad Vanhelski, a trans man and veteran of WWII, on a highly classified mission to probe American deep sea defences. Enroute to Alaska, a strange radar signal pings in contested waters, and the crew unwittingly bringing onboard the metal sarcophagus of an Elder Vampire – Countess Zsófia Báthory. Slaughtering, enthralling, and turning comrades indiscriminately, Zsófia rampages through the ship, as Vlad and a handful of allies must fight to survive. Discovering latent ancestral abilities, helpful departed spirits, and power of comradely cooperation, Vlad and his allies must foil a dastardly plot: to launch the onboard missiles and trigger nuclear Armageddon, bringing about the prophesied vampiric Age of Darkness…
