SCENARIO

It is spring 2026 ...

Deep inside an old tower in the heart of the southern coast of Summersville ... 

A cult of doom worshippers, known as the Bloodmonger Cult has broken the barrier between reality and horror.

The evil cult summoned an evil plan that tested science with paranormal activity. They have built a portal which forms a purple sphere and has released horrible monsters and deadly robots into our home world.

Chaos reigns across the world ...

Only one person can put an end to this evil madness ... 

She is:

Jessica Steel - Bloodmonger

INSTRUCTIONS

This is a game for 1 player only.

The object of the game is to guide Jessica Steel through four areas:

• The cursed cemetary
• The vile village
• The fright factory
• The doomed demesne

All were formerly normal places in our reality.

Jessica is fighting against evil monsters and robots. She must locate the purple spheric portal barrier and then she must destroy it to close it down. Her only defence is her trusty electromagnetic pistol, which unfortunately fires at a very short range. The monsters and robots on the other hand fire at long range.

The monsters which you will encounter are:

• Swooping bats
• Apparitions of skeletons
• Biblical angels
• Robots
• Tentacles
• Reapers

COLLECTIBLES AND POWER UPS

Luckily there is help at hand. Bouncing blue orbs can be picked up to gain the following power ups that could replace Jessica's electromagnetic pistol:

• Long distance bullets
• Three way bullets
• Long distance laser rifle
• Three way mega bullets
• Temporary shield
• Fast speed agility
• Smart bomb (can be activated when spacebar is pressed while the side border is flashing)
• Extra life

The smart bomb power up will phase out if you complete a level or lose a life.

Look out for runaway carts, planted and falling bombs. They cannot be shot, but they can easily be avoided. Bombs will kill you instantly when touched unless you carry a temporary shield.

You will start the game with 5 lives and extra lives are awarded at every 10,000 points scored.

Remember, run ... shoot ... and destroy the portal before you are killed.
