Darkestville Castle is a humorous point and click adventure game ala A Vampyre Story
Long ago, a "shooting star" fell on the village of Darkestville ........ in that shooting star was a baby ....... the baby was lovingly taken in by the residents of the Darkestville Castle and she gave it the name Cid ...... Unfortunately ..... it soon became clear that baby Cid was no ordinary baby ...... Cid was a Demon and he was of course not a baby .... ..Cid grew and grew and eventually he grew into a mature Demon. Meanwhile, Cid lives alone in the big castle because all other residents have fled the castle a long time ago. Cid entertains himself by "putting the fear of life" into the inhabitants of the village of Darkestville each night. However.... Dan Teapot, the arch enemy of Cid, intends to totally change the pleasant life of Cid. This Dan Teapot has hired a group of demon fighters, the Romero Brothers, to catch Cid and to kick him out of Darkestville for ever..... Follow Cid during his exciting survival trip, full of danger and intrigues.
You reach the Game Menu via Gear icon, at the top left of the screen, or pushing the escape key of your keyboard. At the bottom left of the screen you will find the Inventory box. At the top right you see a Hotspot icon, if you click on it you will see all hotspots in the screen. The game works with an Action menu ....... If you click on an item / hotspot then the action menu will pop open ..... The action menu has 3 skulls .....
the left skull is to grab things. The middle skull is to view things and the right skull is to talk to other characters.
You can not save yourself in the game ... the game automatically saves you when you leave the game and then it goes on where you left off via "Resume".
