Abstract:
“Wilhelm’s Curse” is the sequel to the short film The Reward from 2013 and is part of the crowdfunded Tales of Alethrion universe on YouTube. In the animated interaction series called “Choose Their Path” Wilhelm became a Vampire thanks to our community’s decisions.
In this fully animated film, he is still a vampire and trying to get back to normal. He is helped by his Wizard friend, Vito, who is super determined in helping Wilhelm until the lady druid Gaya joins their little group.
