Was anyone able to play this ? and by the way the German version is down ...only the Italian is up and the demo is no longer available ... and the Video is from the concept animation art when this game was to be an erotic vampire adventure in 2D ,but now its fully 3D

So i was in process to play this ... and I hit a wall , the thing is when you run this .. this game cannot see any textures and you get the many shades of black , brown and yellow ... but some textures this game reads ... hmmm

so why not try to use software mode ... same thing
this game uses glide ... so why not try a wrapper ... same thing
dx 7 wrapper ... same thing
real machine ... same thing

wait what ... so this game is broken (>.>)

so why no try the demo ... maybe it will work ... its no longer available ... so why not try to inspect the main exe file from this game ...


the retail version real name is BLdemo.exe version 0.8.0 ... wait a minute they released a beta as a retail .... and when you did deeper you find a patch from 0.8 to 1.0 retail

Zero comico: another game from the same developer and same engine suffered of the same disease (missing textures). I now remember having done a patch for that long ago based on blood&lace one.

and a funny fact is ... when you mix and match the Russian and the Italian game ... you can get a German Version there was even a English demo of it ... but not all was VO and this game has not Subs
