Description:
This hack is based on The Three Mothers trilogy by Dario Argento, especially on the lore from the last movie, where it is summarized:
“More than a thousand years ago, witchcraft was birthed by the shores of the Black Sea by three sisters. For years they roamed the earth bringing death and destruction wherever they went.”
Everything from the original C2 was changed: levels, sprites, bosses, texts, some few sound effects and all endings! Overall, it was made intending to be far more of a challenge than C2, exploring it’s hidden potentials.
It is already patched with Improved Controls, False Floor & Breakable Block Replacer, Simon Restore & Improved lifebar and SRAM hack. The cool sword sprites comes from Vengeance on Hell, and one of the bosses was based on a sprite from Quest for Sarah. Others sprites were adapted from Castlevania 3, while others are original (including the little Baphomet!).
Have fun!

Great design but frustratingly unbalanced
Reviewed By: PacoHades on 27 Mar 2023Please take into account that if this hack is a reference to a movie or some other media, I’m playing while unaware of whatever that is.
I did enjoy the level design and item changes. I also like the amount that the Lens(white crystal) matters in the game and the abundance of breakable blocks is fun. I enjoyed most of what I experienced with this hack with the exception of the absurd health of the enemies. I cannot play any further in what seems to be an excellent hack otherwise. There are regular enemies that take an average of EIGHT whip(sword) strikes each to kill before even the first mansion! Grinding for hearts to upgrade the whip/sword becomes either impossible or frustratingly tedious because the enemies take big chunks of health and take so long to kill that dying is very easy and devastating. The strength of enemies in relation to hearts dropped makes an otherwise great hack unplayable in my opinion. I’m gonna put “Yes” to Recommend though; Maybe you will update it.
