Nocturne is a 1999 action-adventure survival horror video game set in the late 1920s and early 1930s – the Prohibition and Great Depression era.

The player takes the part of The Stranger (voiced by Lynn Mathis),[4] an operative of a fictional American Government secret organization known as "Spookhouse", which was created by President Theodore Roosevelt to fight monsters.

He investigates four strange cases and saves people from classic monsters such as werewolves, zombies, and vampires.

Therefore, if The Stranger encounters an enemy, he must draw his weapon, aim, evade, then fire with separate controls.

After arriving, Svetlana suddenly becomes hostile and attacks The Stranger, before escaping inside the castle.

In the next mission, The Stranger is asked to investigate the small town where the dead come back to life and attack the townspeople.

After meeting with his contact and the town's reverend, The Stranger battles the zombies and saves any survivors he finds.

On the third mission, The Stranger is asked to destroy the factory run by Al Capone's gang that secretly created an army of undead gangsters.

After meeting with the informant, Icepick, (one of the reanimated mobsters that went rogue) The Stranger infiltrates a movie theater to get the proof of Capone's factory.

As The Stranger tries to make his way out of the dungeon, Killian taunts him and reveals the reason why he is doing this; he was forced to retire from Spookhouse, because of his hatred and disapproval towards supernatural creatures who join the ranks of the organization, ever since a vampire killed his wife.

The Stranger ignores his pleas and silently leaves the mansion as Moloch exacts his revenge on Killian.

Just make sure you play it at night, and keep a few sharpened stakes close at hand..."[23] However, Jeff Lundrigan of NextGen gave it a negative review, calling the game as not terrible, but not terrifying either.

The staff wrote that the high system requirements provided impressive atmosphere for Alone in the Dark-styled horror romp.

The game stars the Spookhouse agent Elspeth "Doc" Holliday, who investigates the legend of the Blair Witch.

The story's background involves an old hermit named Rustin Parr, who killed seven children in Burkittsville, claiming that he was doing it for an "old woman ghost".

[31] The main protagonist of BloodRayne, the dhampir Rayne, is based upon the Nocturne character Svetlana Lupescu.
