Carfax Abbey

Carfax Abbey is a game where the player gets to explore the home of Count Dracula from a first person perspective. The abbey has four floors with twenty five rooms on each and the player moves between rooms through doors, secret passages, lifts and stairs. The objective of the game is to find and destroy Dracula and to do so a hidden crucifix must be found and it is also necessary to gain a magic rating of at least 200. The magic rating increases by finding various items such as potions, goblets and wands. The player also has an energy rating which is 100% when starting out and increases with ten points for each room visited. Subsequent visits to the same room will however lead to a loss of five points. If the energy level reaches zero the game will end.

There are several different creatures that live in the abbey. They include goblins, blobs, ghosts, imps and skeletons. Some of these are hostile and will take away some energy or magic. Others are friendly such as the goblins who are traders that will sell energy or magic in exchange for gold. To be able to open locked doors it is necessary to find a skeleton key. It will however reduce 25 energy points for each door. The same amount will be lost when moving through secret passages.
