Plot
Van Helsing: Nights of Hunger takes place in 1923. The protagonist is Friedrich Van Helsing, son of Ludwig and Katerina Van Helsing, Friedrich served briefly in the German army at the outbreak of WWI, but was discharged because he refused to execute civilians during the invasion of Belgium and killed one of his commanding officers. Escaping execution, Friedrich fled to Canada and settled in a cabin on British Columbia, where he married a woman and had two twins, Inge and Rudolf. After going hunting one night, Friedrich returns to his cabin where he finds his wife shot and his two children missing. A note was left stating that the kids had been taken for ransom to Crampton, an infamous ghost town in Alaska famous for having it's entire population disappear after a strong snowstorm in 1850.

Friedrich travels to Crampton and finds the town abandoned, with no signs of the kidnappers nor his children. After exploring the empty town, Van Helsing encounters a wounded man who belongs to the kidnappers. Before he can answer where the children are, the man is attacked and mauled by a thin humanoid figure, revealed to be a Qalupalik. After killing the monster, Friedrich begins his exploration of Crampton which is starting to get inhabited with several monsters including Akhluts, skin-walkers, Issitoqs, Adlets, Qiqirns and Thunderbirds. Along the way, he also encounters several of his children's kidnappers, whose fate is up to the player to decide. Eventually, Friedrich comes across a group of armed people who begin exterminating the monsters and killing any survivors they encounter; who eventually find and knock out Friedrich. While this is happening, Ludwig Van Helsing (Friedrich's father and protagonist of Wrath of Dracula) arrives to Crampton and begins searching for his son while eluding the mysterious armed men.

Ludwig finds Friedrich tied in the old mill who frees him, but gets confronted by Royal, the leader of the men who came into Crampton who confront the father and son. Ludwig reveals the men are "Triskellion", an order dedicated to hunting down monsters who arranged Friedrich's children kidnapping in order to lure out Ludwig from hiding. Royal reveals that shortly after the events of Wrath of Dracula, Triskellion searched and recruited Ludwig into the order to help hunt down monsters that threaten human beings, but Ludwig decided to ditch the order after witnessing Triskellion's willingness to experiment with unwilling test subjects and disregard for civilian casualties. Royal explains they need Ludwig's help to erradicate the creature responsible for the death of Crampton's population in 1850, a Wendigo. When the group is ambushed by a pack of Akhluts, Ludwig and Friedrich escape and continue the search for Inge and Rudolf, who are being held in the abandoned mine before they're killed or captured by Triskellion.

At the climax of the game, Friedrich and Ludwig encounter the twins being held hostage in the mines, but after freeing them they're confronted by the Wendigo. Taunting the Van Helsings, the Wendigo reveals that when silver deposits were discovered beneath Crampton, some townsfolk began murdering each other over the silver they dug out. This discord and greed attracted the evil spirit to the town which manifested as a snowstorm and grew in power when people began cannibalizing each other due to the freezing of the crops. With the latest events of the night, the Wendigo threatens to consume every person in the town and use any person to escape to civilization where it can possess and influence more victims. Depending on the choices the player made throughout the story, there are different endings to the game.
