Phase Two: "The Streets" Screenshots & Public Playtest



This week BloodEater Games is planning to release the second section to the "Twenty Below" map, opening up the playtest to all, in our Public Playtest.

Anyone currently playtesting the game in the private version of the playtest on our Discord will have early access to the playtest of the map’s second section a few days before we go live on the public playtest.

[h2]Second Section "The Streets"[/h2]
The second of four sections to the Twenty Below map is a step up on the scale. You will need to plan every move as you move from house to house finding a way out to the next section.

This time around, it is not only "The Noble" you have to worry about, but two other types of Sanguivore minions. Totally loyal to "The Noble" in every way, they work entirely for him, being his eyes and ears across this section. Outside the confines of the police station, this new area is twice as large as the first section. Up high are his scouts, flitting from rooftop to rooftop in search for stays left in the cold. If they spot you they will let out a cry, calling in the Bloodhounds.

Bloodhounds are fast and have one intention, to drive you into buildings for "The Noble" to have his fun with you. Although the Scouts will not attack you, Bloodhounds will. Get too close to them and they will pounce on you like a wild predator taking down its prey.

The lurking Vampire will not be the only threat: a snowstorm is inbound and will hit the town with freezing temperatures, biting away at your health more and more the longer you are exposed to the chilling winds and snow. Only venture out during a storm if in desperate need of moving on, storms come and go every few minutes, leaving an opportunity to move to a different location if your timing is right.

Can you take on both sections of Twenty Below? Is it in your blood to survive?

Early Access & Public Playtest Announcment



Blood Eater Games are thrilled to announce that our chilling cooperative horror experience, Sanguivore: Twenty Below, is set to make its spine-tingling debut in Early Access December 1st, 2023.

We would also like to let everyone know how delighted we are to be partnering with Forthright Entertainment on Sanguivore.

Ryan Waller of Forthright Entertainment shared his enthusiasm:

Teaming up with Blood Eater Games for this exhilarating horror co-op project has been fantastic. Merging the concept of an ‘Escape Room’ with an ‘Escape Town’, players must use stealth and teamwork to avoid being hunted down. Our playtesting sessions have been wildly entertaining, and we’re confident horror co-op fans will relish this game as we continue refining it for the 2024 full release.

Starting off the game is very beautiful. The graphics are quite heavy and I see a potential for Ray tracing being implemented at some point. Good Points on that. The voice acting is pretty good and the narrative building up the experience is really cool.

Enjoyed the game so far. It focuses on team work and the mechanics are pretty straight forward. I think the only issues we ran into were some minor visual bugs and the creature seemed rather campy in areas.
I really think this is a cool concept of an escape-room style horror. Definitely wish-listing this title. Looking forward to continue playtesting!

When playing/testing the game, graphics are beautiful. Enjoyed multi-player escape room concept. Different ways to complete objectives with challenge of evading a predator while having to put some thought into it.
