You think you've played weird games?

Help Prof. Krakovitz and his assistant stop the nazis from unleashing an ancient curse. Expect dark humor, retro pixel art, and absolutely zero historical accuracy.

💀The horror is bigger than you think. Vlad Circus has an Expanded Universe of pixel-art horror:

1️⃣ Descend into Madness
2️⃣ Curse of Asmodeus
📖 Book (exclusive lore that connects both games)
