This game delivers one of the best portrayals of a vampire-esque protagonist and plot I’ve seen in gaming, period.

The atmosphere is deliciously miserable. Post-war London feels barely alive, running on fumes, bad decisions, and a city-wide case of influenza. The writing and choice-driven narrative do the heavy lifting, backed by strong dialogue and a moody soundtrack that never breaks character.

Combat? Let’s be honest. It’s more Souls-lite than Souls-like. A bit clunky, occasionally stubborn with movement, and not the main attraction here. Still, it’s serviceable enough to get through fights without completely killing the vibe. And if you want nothing to do with it, there’s a story mode that makes combat entirely trivial, letting you focus purely on the narrative. Respect.

You play as Doctor Jonathan Reid, a war veteran turned vampire, roaming flu-ravaged London deciding whether to save lives or turn citizens into walking blood banks. Be merciful and suffer. Feed freely and become a menace. Either way, the game will judge you for your choices.

Managed to grab 100% achievements across multiple playthroughs, which says a lot about how engaging the narrative loop is, at least for me. Rough around the edges, but the story, atmosphere, and moral guilt carry it hard.

7/10 - A solid story-driven Action RPG that’s absolutely worth a bloody bite.🩸
