While The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest continues its development, take a peek inside Bram Mansion–one of the many different places you can visit on your journey for vampire-hunting glory!


Look, you can’t be a professional vampire hunter if you’re afraid of the dark…and Skelebones!

Enter Bram Mansion–a place of somber, melancholic auras and terrifying creatures of darkness.



Inside Bram Mansion, you’ll find creepy ghouls who aren’t welcoming of guests! Luckily for you, as an expert vampire hunter, you should have no problem fighting your way through all of them, right? Right!



As with other mansions in TASQ, be sure you’re well-prepared for whatever you can handle by equipping yourself with the right items from shops! Knowing how and when to dodge attacks would also be nice, too…



Stay tuned for even more!

Every vampire hunter needs a good weapon at their side! That's why Simon Quest’s preferred tool of destruction is a whip! Easy to deploy, quick to inflict damage, and useful across different terrains!



When dealing with enemies Simon will perform one swing each time you press the Attack button. Pressing it multiple times will allow him to do more swings in a row. Punish enemies that get too close!



You can also use your whip to swing across open ledges! Time it right and you’ll latch onto a high object and swing across! Just be sure you jump down at the right time!



As you travel further into your adventure, you’ll be able to upgrade your whip to take on different forms! Be on the lookout for any upgrades you can find in shops and at other points during your journey!

Taking inspiration from classic titles is an age-old practice when it comes to making games–especially modern retro ones!

In The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest (TASQ), players will certainly appreciate the motifs, themes, and color palette in-game harkening back to familiar titles of the past! Following the story of vampire hunter Simon Quest, players will embark on a journey across the world to raise the evil Count Dracula from the dead–all for the sake of obtaining the glory stolen by rival Van Helsing!


Gameplay sees players controlling Simon as he traverses numerous environments, each complete with their own brand of menacing monsters!


As a skilled vampire hunter, Simon is equipped with a deadly whip, which he can use to dispatch enemies, activate spawn point lanterns, or swing across wide gaps!


In each town you visit, you’ll be able to purchase items at shops using coins obtained from slain enemies in the overworld! You’ll also have the chance to equip new subweapons, which can be deployed during combat to add an extra layer of offense! Potions that restore your health are also available to purchase, so be sure to collect those coins!


Within each mansion, you’ll find strong bosses that will challenge your skills as a vampire hunter! Keep your distance and throw a couple of daggers, or get up close and take several swings with your whip! Eliminating these bosses will grant you a piece of the evil Count, which you’ll need to collect to accomplish your ultimate goal!


And the experience doesn’t stop there! Across the overworld, you’ll be able to play minigames that can be discovered at certain locations! Play a crane game, a card game, or try your luck at fishing! When the going gets tough, you’ll want to unwind from all that adventuring with minigames!


And stay tuned for even more features in The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest (TASQ)!

Saving in TASQ is a simple endeavor!

In every town, you’ll encounter different monsters that appear and attack only at night! Luckily, you can enter a church to seek refuge!

Along with having their own shops, towns will have a church you can use to rest through the night (and avoid having to battle any ghastly ghouls), or save your progress. Interact with the angel statue inside churches to do so.




For those who do not wish to face the monsters prowling around certain towns, you can always choose to sleep through the night by talking to one of the nuns inside the church.

At least monsters can’t get inside!...right?


Look forward to even more as we continue with development!
