Nocturne

Trivia

Svetlana, the dhampir(human/vampire hybrid) who appears as an ally of the Stranger was at one point going to be the protagonist of the BloodRayne series.

Instead, they created a new heroine altogether.

In Terminal Reality's later game Bloodrayne, the character of Svetlana Lupescu was originally going to be the protagonist, before Rayne was introduced.

The picture on Nocturne's Box is an overexposed photograph. There was a time when people thought that overexposed photos were proof of ghosts and otherworldly spirits.

Like any good game with horror element this one has it's fair share of horror references. The mobster-monsters are akin to Frankenstein. The vampires are from Dracula. There are also many references to H.P. Lovecraft, Doc Holiday went to Miskatonic University. And the mission in which The Stranger faces an Elder God.

Nocturne was going to be ported to the Sega Dreamcast. The console's early death killed the port as well. Which is a shame as Nocturne may have been better suited as a console game.

Start act 4 of Nocturne.
At the hallway you get out of the lift after having talked to the secretary, who opened the door to get to it.
Just before the next (and only) door where you get to the hall with the offices inside, take a closer look at the picture (by that I mean clicking on it with the action button), located to the right of the door.
It shows the developers in an "ancient" mood :)

Ever wondered what Nocturne means? It's "a pensive, lyrical piece of music (especially for the piano)". It has got nothing to do with noctural or nightly activities. ;)

A television series based on Nocturne is currently in development by Collision Entertainment. Their website description of the project is...

When Teddy Roosevelt's 1898 hunting expedition in Cuba exposes him to a werewolf, he later founds "The Spookhouse", a secret research facility to covertly investigate the supernatural. Decades later, FDR orders Chicago secret service agent and unsung Untouchable Tabby Kildaire to find the Spookhouse and shut it down. Tabby reluctantly agrees, beginning a journey more dark and disturbing than any case he's ever investigated and to his horror, learns that monsters are real. Based on the video game by Terminal Reality and G.O.D.

The three Blair Witch Project games use Nocturne's engine. In fact this was announced by the developers well in advance. That's why we see the characters from the "Spookhouse" again in Blair Witch Project 1.

Much of the music heard in Nocturne is also heard in the background of various episodes of TV's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer".
