About This Game
You are a descendent of Dracula’s empire, tasked with eliminating his enemies. Dracula demands results; the details are yours to figure out.
Distract, dispose, or dismember guards. Choose your weapon from items found in each environment. Rely on stealth to keep casualties at a minimum, or forge a path to your target with silver.
Click and combine game tiles to access verbs and craft your own diabolical resolutions. Vampirium: 1997 is an immersive sim refocused on the fundamentals. Hunt across multiple locations and discuss your tactics with Dracula himself.
Resolve missions your way. Explore different approaches with each replay, unlocking new tasks for each level after your first successful run. Uncover secrets of your Master’s enemies, try using the rising sun to your advantage or learn to hypnotize the help to access blocked areas. If it’s for the good of the empire, it will earn Dracula’s approval, and his trust.
Find creative methods to dispatch targets and earn XP, then use it to advance your own abilities with a branching skill tree; hone your powers of manipulation as a secretive revenant, or sate your thirst as a wrathful creature of the night.
The way you evolve your dark self will determine your play style, and vice versa. Rampage through levels with vampiric fury or grace and a silver tongue. The choice is yours.
Vampirium: 1997 is a developing world coming to Early Access. New characters, settings and powers are being added with each location released. With them, defend Dracula’s shadowed empire from the coming of the light. Join us.
