What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access allows me as a developer to scale the quality of this game with the size of its audience. This game is my dream project, so I'm committed to see it release in a feature-complete form, but if the idea proves popular then I'll have the resources to expand upon its core concept.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I expect to achieve 1.0 status in one year.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The 1.0 release is planned to have at least the following mechanics implemented:

  • The timeskip feature, complete with setting changes that will not take place without it.
  • A character customization feature.
  • NPC interaction, including dialogue.
  • A flight-capable animal form such as a bird or a bat.
  • Numerous abilities not yet implemented.
”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current build features the most basic elements of the game's moment-to-moment gameplay, such as traversal, object interaction, blood-drinking, regeneration, basic combat (including rudimentary dismemberment), and NPC awareness of the PC's threat potential. There is a single VIP target and several guards, and crosses are set up as basic obstacles.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will increase as the game becomes more fully developed.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I plan to interact with players through Steam's built-in forum functionality. I want players to understand up front that I'm committed to a certain vision that I have for the game, but there are also many aspects about it that I don't have strong opinions on. I expect to check the forum on at least a weekly basis.”

About This Game

Experience life as a vampire in this simulation-heavy sandbox RPG -- with an emphasis on the "role-playing" part of "role-playing game". Engage with the various activities offered by the setting or live a quiet life. Hunt well-protected targets such as nobles for an assassination-style challenge. Turn invisible and follow NPCs to observe their daily lives. Explore the surrounding wilderness, perhaps in one of your animal forms. Meddle in human affairs for the fun of it, or to change society for the better.

As A Vampire...


  • You can do many things humans can't: move unseen, slip through cracks, transform into animals or even substances such as mist, and more. Every vampire has some of these abilities, and the rest can be unlocked.

  • You are powered by vital energy. A gauge on the screen shows how much you have available. This energy is spent at different rates by different abilities, and also depletes by a fixed amount each day to power your basic activity. You can replenish it the same way ordinary humans do -- by slowly extracting it from food -- but the most efficient way for a vampire is also the one for which they are most famous: drinking blood. The vital energy in blood is accessible immediately, causing the energy gauge to replenish as soon as it is consumed, and comes with upgrade points that can be used to upgrade your abilities and unlock new ones.

  • You require sleep. Newly-arisen vampires tend to sleep through the day, but you can acquire the ability to be awake during daylight hours. Being awake during the same time as most humans and their businesses offers opportunities that are difficult to exploit otherwise.

  • You can experience entire generations of human lifetimes -- as a game mechanic. Each time you timeskip, the world is refreshed: trees regrow, populations replenish, and any holes left in society by your interventions get filled. But also, any metaphorical seeds of change you planted -- societal changes, technological advances, or even literal seeds of literal trees -- will sprout.

As a player...


You control an individual vampire. You have the option of playing from either a third-person view or a first-person view. You can play using a controller (recommended), or with a mouse and keyboard.

The main activity on offer are the VIP hunts. VIP hunts offer assassination-style challenges, but with a twist: as a vampire, you can do things humans can't -- and face obstacles humans don't. Physical barriers are no obstacle, but if your target sleeps under a religious symbol for protection at night, you'll need to either get someone to remove it, lure the target out of the room, or find a different opportunity.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:
