About This Game

BYTE is a tactics RPG that adapts the classic novel Dracula, by Bram Stoker, with an emphasis on the themes of queerness and technology.

You play as Jonathan Harker, Dracula’s real estate agent, completing work tasks while exploring the castle, speaking with its inhabitants, and hacking into computers.

An Internet-Age Dracula

BYTE takes place in Detroit, Oregon in the 1980s. Dracula hires Jonathan Harker to help him purchase properties using the help of fax machines, telephones, and the internet.

Rapid developments to transportation, communication, and medical technologies lie at the core of Dracula’s horror, and BYTE explores how the novel adapts to a technological revolution still happening today.

BYTE’s story happens in visual novel scenes, where Jonathan talks with the other characters and delivers his own intricate internal monologue.

BYTE is all about the clash between 19th-century Gothic and 20th-century technology, so retaining the literary style of the novel is a core part of the experience.

Jonathan Harker, Hacker

Combat in BYTE happens when Jonathan needs to hack into a computer. Hacking takes the form of grid-based tactics battles where Jonathan needs to accomplish tasks rather than directly fight enemies. Tasks can include collecting data, getting through firewalls, installing software, and more.
