Buy Vlad the Landlord PC key

Vlad the Landlord is a single-player game that blends management, stealth and roguelite consequences on a single level. Vlad is tired of vampire life, and legends say enough blood can restore his humanity. You hunt through neighboring buildings for tenants, manage your mansion’s pantry and growing thirst, unlock vampiric powers and try to turn Vlad human again.

Prowl the night

Move through the shadows by climbing, gliding, picking locks and sneaking up on people to bite at the right moment. Alerted daypeople may struggle when bitten or flee before you can bite them, wasting precious blood. Nights end in daylight that drains blood and can set you on fire, so stay in the shade or return to your coffin as dawn approaches.

Manage your tenants

You can spend vampire blood to turn humans into tenants, but not everyone makes a good fit: garlic-loving chefs and trigger-happy soldiers can be difficult to manage. Your mansion has limited room, and tenants perish quickly and recover slowly. Drain them sparingly, since the more blood you take, the harder it becomes to stop. Frightened tenants may overreact and move out, while some tenants affect their neighbors for better or worse, making their placement important.

Control your thirst

Your thirst grows with each moon cycle. If you do not quench it in time, you are forced to hibernate. The higher your thirst, the longer you sleep, giving more tenants time to move out before you wake.

Unlock vampiric powers

Each night, you can spend blood when you return to your coffin to unlock and upgrade powers. These include improvements to your vision, climbing and jumping, ways to attract more or better neighbors, and the ability to take bat and rat forms.

The game offers Easy, Normal and Hard difficulty settings. A playthrough takes at least 4–8 hours, with more time required if you attempt Hard.
