Games I Have Made: Vampire Ltd

Oops I forgot I had a blog. Oops I forgot to update after IFComp 2020.

Cover art for Vampire Ltd

Nero Brashov, vampire and failed businessman, has revenge on his mind. He’ll pose as a human, infiltrate his arch-enemy’s corporation, and sabotage it from the inside. Just as soon as he’s invited in, that is.

Vampire Ltd is a text adventure game about corporate espionage. You’re a vampire; this poses problems throughout the adventure.

It was first published as an entrant in IFComp 2020, where it won lucky 13th place out of 103 entries and received mostly-kind reviews.. Since then, it’s been updated to fix bugs and typos and add developer commentary. It is screen-reader friendly, but has a few swears, so it’s not necessarily child-friendly.

Vampire Ltd was designed and written by me in Inform 7. It was tested by AKheon, Christopher Merriner, Dark Star, Mathbrush, Mike Russo and Peter M. J. Gross. Full credits are included in the game.

Also, I wrote a postmortem for Vampire Ltd on the IntFiction forum. Check it out here if you like – it spoils some jokes and puzzles, but not the plot.
