CASTLEVANIA - SPECTRAL INTERLUDE
================================
2D action-platformer with exploration, backtracking and RPG elements

ABOUT THE GAME

Even if Konami lost all interest in making proper Castlevania games, 
Dracula's Castle can’t be kept in the void forever. It just so happens, 
that this time fans were the ones to aid in it’s return.

It was originally invisioned as a „demake” of Castlevania II: Simon's 
Quest but eventually turned into an original independent game for 
ZX Spectrum.

Castlevania: Spectral Interlude is an action-adventure platform game 
with elements of RPG. It merges well known elements of classic games 
with some new ideas. It tells a new story which tries to remain 
consistent with the canon of original franchise and explains why 
Belmonts disappeared for many years.

Whip, jump and slash your way through over 150 screens of classic 
Metroidvania style platform action in this pulse pounding lost 
chapter, now finally unearthed on the ZX Spectrum. This brand new
piece of the grand fable, merging well known classic elements with 
brand new ideas, tells why the Belmonts disappeared for so long and 
is guaranteed to provide hours of entertainment for fans and 
newcomers alike.

Dracula's Castle is awaiting new guests!
