Gothos​

About this entry

Gothos is a Full Motion Video (FMV) point-and-click adventure game released in 1997 for PC and Macintosh by Mindmeld Multimedia. Players take on the role of a vampire sent to investigate the ancient 'Scrolls of the First Blood' while navigating a corrupt vampire society. The game is notable for its mechanics, including a blood meter and conversation attitude choices. However, it is most famous among retro gamers for its notoriously low budget, amateur acting, and campy execution, making it a cult classic in the 'so bad it's good' category of FMV games.
