Bathory: The Bloody Countess

Bathory: The Bloody Countess is a hidden object puzzle adventure about finding your missing sister and uncovering the truth behind the legend of Elizabeth Bathory. Your sister Rose, an archaeologist, was summoned to an excavation in east Slovakia and began having nightmares about a dark, hooded figure. After her last letter alarms you, you go to find her, but she has vanished. The Countess Dracula’s castle may claim another victim.

Investigate the legend

The story draws on competing accounts of Elizabeth Bathory, whom many know as a ruthless serial killer while some biographers argue she was slandered. Legends and evidence, history and magic come together in a remote village in the Carpathians, where heathen beliefs and rituals remain commonplace. You explore its locations, search hand-drawn hidden-object scenes, decipher secret messages and uncover ancient manuscripts.

Solve puzzles and escape

You tackle puzzles and riddles, and try to escape the medieval keep’s deadly contraptions. Finding objects earns you gold coins, which you can spend on tools and other goods to help with the challenges. Hidden-object locations have variable item lists, and the game also includes brain-teasers and blood-chilling effects.
