However, she came from a lineage notorious for its leanings toward tyranny, sadism, and perversion. Many researchers attribute up to 650 murders to her. She was long considered the most famous female serial killer of all time, rumored to have bathed in the blood of virgins to regain her youth.

Was she unjustly bricked up in her own castle, where she died alone as a prisoner? Find the truth!

For Those Who Want to Know More

Join us in the era of Countess Elizabeth Báthory. Was she rightfully judged as the most notorious mass murderer in Slovak and Hungarian history, or was it a contemporary conspiracy with a fabricated trial aimed at seizing her extensive properties in Transylvania?

The year is 1610. A secret investigation has been launched by Emperor Matthias II, led by the Hungarian Palatine and the second most powerful man in the country, György Thurzó.

Accusations are being prepared against Elizabeth Báthory and her four accomplices for the torture and killing of at least 650 young women. Legends are spreading that the Countess bathes in the blood of virgins to stay eternally young. It is said she tortured girls with burning candles and red-hot irons, pricked them with needles, doused them with freezing water in the cold, or cut them alive with knives.

Witnesses testify that the Countess has orphans and young women brought to her by her henchmen, luring them with promises of work as maids. Instead, she imprisons them in secret chambers of her residence, where she tortures them until they perish…

However, clear evidence of her guilt is missing. That is why, in the winter of 1610, Palatine György Thurzó sends you to Báthory’s Čachtice Castle disguised as wandering monks. Your mission is to find and bring back irrefutable evidence—if it exists. You are in luck: the Countess has gone out for a ride and will not return for 70 minutes…

Will you manage to discover whether the Countess was a sadistic killer or an innocent victim? Where does the line between truth and myth lie?
