Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi is a survival horror first-person shooter that challenges players with problem-solving, spatial awareness, strategic thinking, critical thinking, and adaptive challenge through its randomly generated manor layouts and increasing difficulty. Players must manage resources, learn enemy weaknesses from in-game notes, and make tactical decisions to save family members, which directly impacts the final boss's strength. The game also requires hand-eye coordination and quick reactions in combat.

The primary risks in Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi are related to its horror and violence content. The game features intense fear and horror elements, alongside frequent combat with vampires, which involves a high level of violence. While there are no explicit monetization or compulsion-loop design mechanics, the game's escalating difficulty if family members are not saved can create pressure to continue playing. The lack of social interaction and representation diversity are also notable.
