Happy Sunday everyone! Thank you so much on all the recent feedback on version 5.2. I’ve cleaned out each of the bugs players have brought to my attention. I know that many of you have mentioned having difficulties on one of the puzzles during the Terror of the Seas quest, so I’ve modified it slightly to be a bit less cryptic. My hope is less players will find themselves stuck. But, if you're still stuck, I will be releasing the updated walkthrough next Sunday with all the answers and tips you'll need!

Additionally, I’ve introduced another quality of life change in 5.2.1. At the end of Chapter V-1, Claudia will now give Mila the Enhanced Q.T.W!



While playing through the campaign recently, I realized how redundant the standard statues are for travel, especially with the Invoke Fog skill. Along with this change, I’ve also added warp points at the Port of Abelleth, Rosenblad Estate, and Noctorna HQ Ruins. Travel will now be way more convenient!



As I’ve stated last week, the public release of version 5.2.1 on Steam and Itch.io will be next week. If you are interested in becoming an NPC in time for this update, please become a tier 4 patron by Wednesday, 6/21.

That's all I have to share with you this week. Until next time, everyone!

Thank you all so much for your continued support on this project over the last few years. It's been refreshing to return to this route after so long and I know many of you have been clamoring for more vampire gameplay. I apologize for the long wait.

As always, I am open to hearing your thoughts on where the game can be improved. Please report any issues you encounter with the game so that they can be corrected for the game's public release on 6/25/23!

I hope you all have a fantastic time!

Version 5.2 is now done! Hooray!! I just sent out the pre-release version to my testers so that I can pad out a few bugs before it's released. That means that the latest version will be released next Sunday 6/11/23 to all of my patreon supporters, at the usual update time (8 P.M. EST). If any of you are still interested in being added as an NPC for this update, be sure you become a tier 4 patron by this Wednesday 6/7/23. If you are unsure where your custom NPC's location is, be sure to check the .txt file titled "level 4 patron locations" in the game's root folder. You'll find your name and location there. If you have any other concerns or questions about this perk, feel free to send me a direct message or email ([email protected]). I usually respond pretty quick.
