2D Narrative Vampire RPG ‘Cabernet’ Launching October 24 [Trailer]

While it’s not quite the “Early 2024” that was originally announced, publisher Akupara Games and developer Party for Introverts have announced that their 2D narrative vampire RPG Cabernet will be seeing an appropriate release just in time for Halloween. Cabernet will launch on October 24 for PC via Steam, GOG.com, and Humble Store.

Cabernet is set in a 19th century Eastern European inspired world, with a modern twist. Players will guide Liza, a young vampire struggling with her morality and the supernatural world she has been pulled into. Will you retain your humanity, or descend further into the horror you have become? You will explore a hidden world of political intrigue, class conflict, and decadent corruption.

Use the moonlit sky to plan your next feast and explore. Mingle among vampiric society and the humans who feed them. Uncover who can aid your new kin and whose only purpose is to be drained. Vampirism isn’t just a transformation of your body, as it also threatens to transform your mind. Will you choose to indulge your empathetic humanity, or embrace your newfound nihilism?

But to lure your next meal somewhere safe and secluded, you’ll need to understand who they are and what they desire. A kind-hearted, alcoholic coachman? A fraying newlywed couple? A greedy, yet charming charlatan? Their lives are yours to aid or unravel.

If you’re keen on checking out Cabernet prior to its October release, the demo showing off the game’s first chapter is still available.
