Vampirii

Vampirii is a choice-driven visual novel in which you wake up as a vampire and quickly learn that stronger beings pose a danger. You must negotiate that danger and survive, alone or with friends. The story explores the purpose of vampirism: friends and foes may offer their views, and following the main story line leads you to investigate your new condition and why it exists. Some aspects of vampirism may remain hidden until the end.

Living as a vampire

Feeding is an ongoing part of life, not a one-time task. You manage your blood levels, pay attention to the time of night, deal with wear and tear on your clothes and try to earn money for hard-to-get items. You can hunt and feed as you choose, with consequences for your decisions. The game aims to make these demands part of a manageable gameplay loop rather than an oppressive one.

Choices and progression

The game has more than 140,000 words of story and dialogue, non-linear play and the possibility of continuing indefinitely. Your actions affect persistent game zones, and the game universe gradually expands as you progress. You can level up, gain perks, use several lairs and pursue quest chains presented in a realistic, believable fashion. Some story milestones have alternative routes, and choices can offer markedly different levels of difficulty.

Romance is optional: you can avoid it or build a playthrough around it. You can make evil choices, and you can complete the game without following the main quest. Multiple endings include both final conclusions and endings that let you continue playing indefinitely. The game also has an endgame, combat encounters with an unlimited supply of opponents and increasing variety and unpredictability, and a system that can leave you for dead depending on the time of night and the kind of enemy.

Threats and survival

A new threat to vampires requires unfamiliar solutions. Encounters with stronger beings and other enemies shape the danger you face, while your choices determine how you respond and what follows.
