First Bite

First Bite is an LGBTQ+ dark comedy visual novel about Noe, a human fanfiction writer with a taste for the supernatural and little self-preservation. Hoping rumors about the inhabitants are true, Noe enters a strange house on Dead End Drive and meets three centuries-old vampires: Laurel, Ilyas and Valeria. Trapped inside, Noe must decide whether to pursue a second life or face a fatal ending.

The vampires

You can romance all three vampires, or pursue an unusual friendship instead. Valeria Andrei (she/they) is the youngest of the trio; she likes poetry, cheating at board games, internet shopping and warm-blooded murder. Laurel Portman (he/they), who is nearly 300 years old, enjoys Hot Topic, insincerity and watching victims bleed while watching TV. Ilyas Al-Rai (he/him) is 2,400 years old and likes athleisure, Eurodance and lifting weights.

Choices and endings

Your journey to immortality can take about four hours across all routes and endings. There are 26 potential “Dead Ends,” as well as multiple positive outcomes, and a Death Tally tracks your failures. You can choose your pronouns and customize Noe’s name, and collect four CGs.

Voice acting

The game has partial voice acting featuring Alejandro Saab, Jalen Cassell and Marie Westbrook.
