Our take on Belladonna
Rather than relying on conventional horror shocks, the game places its mystery inside a literary gothic setting and presents events through undead viewpoints. Its point-and-click structure is paired with extended reading, making the encounter with horror more reflective than action-oriented.
What is Belladonna?
Play as Belladonna, a young woman restored to life inside an abandoned laboratory, and investigate the circumstances surrounding her death and reanimation.
The story follows doctor Wolfram von Trauerschloss, whose grief after losing his child leads to an obsessive attempt to overcome death. As the dead return and the living become difficult to trust, the narrative examines heroes, villains, moral systems, and different forms of horror. Belladonna uses point-and-click adventure gameplay with substantial reading and prose influenced by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Its horror focuses on an eerie world between life and death rather than Hollywood-style scares, presenting the perspectives and beliefs of undead beings.
