• Play as a visual novel - or - with paced ARPG combat: old school but with some twists

• Retro RPG graphics inspired by love for games like Ultima, Diablo, the original Baldur's Gate

• A serious, literary tone but... (see next bullet)

• An unlikely vampire ally - who makes subtle game references (hint cough Adoring Fan cough) but has character development crucial to the entire story

• A small, focused setting that doesn't meander in its worldbuilding

• Hints at the larger Darkrite lore which started as a tabletop campaign still going today

• Meant to "feel" like a fantasy novel
