==Differences to the game==
The novel has some changes to the game's storyline. They are as follows:
*Several extra scenes that do not appear in the game have been added. These include events that take place shortly before the game, such as Sara's capture and a scene with Leon and Mathias on the battlefield, but also flashbacks that detail the pasts of several characters, including Mathias, Medusa and Walter.
*Several characters that are unique to the comic are introduced. These include: Liza, a hunter who tries to avenge the death of her fiancé, Justine, Rinaldo's daughter who got turned into a vampire by Walter, Bianca, Walter's mother, and Volks, Bianca's servant.
*The concept of Leon having to defeat five monsters in order to get to Walter is omitted.
*Walter returns Sara to Leon when he has only defeated two guardian monsters. In the game, this scene does not occur until after all five monsters are defeated.
*The Ghostly Theatre area has been omitted. The Succubus does appear in the comic, however.
*The Golem resides in the House of Sacred Remains instead of the Undead Parasite.
*Leon is poisoned by Medusa in the comic. When he backtracks to Rinaldo, he is attacked by the Succubus.
*Rinaldo's daughter, Justine, is mentioned to have been defeated by Rinaldo in the past. In the comic, Succubus revives Justine and Rinaldo has to fight her again.
