Ascend stair & confront your father. He tells you the family history.
You have the blood of Dracula in your veins (hence 'D' ?) and as a child
you killed & ate your mother (yuk!!). Your Dad wants to eat your flesh &
starts to change into a monster. Fire gun at him.
Goodbye Dad (can you kill Vampires with bullets?). Cry over his dead
body while the credits roll. What happens to Laura now????
The game ends with a suggestion to start all over to see missed scenes.
