Overview:
Take on the role of Draco, a Stuart-era carnal vampire awakening in modern times. Ripped from your home, significantly weakened, and your harem of sex slaves lost to some unknown fate, you now must drink blood, discover clues, and hunt down whoever committed this heinous offense. Along the way you will fuck and enslave beautiful young women into your stable, regain powerful abilities, and establish a new empire of the night.

CHANGES

V3.99d, released August 29, 2023
ABOUT
This was updated with special attention to “speed running” so it’s a lot more stable now when clicking rapidly. It’s still possible to create conflicting routines but it doesn’t happen as often.
KNOWN ISSUES
- Ann’s dialog menu may have two instances of “collect flowers for me”. This doesn’t appear to cause any problems.
- Clicking (DONE) on Michelle during the prologue at the night market will lock the game. Don’t.
- Mara may display slightly odd behavior in the interaction menus when above 45% corruption.
BUG FIXES
- Numpad 0 deactivated
- Fixed a cosmetic error which sometimes showed Michelle naked in public.
- Fixed a boomerang bug that happens sometimes when Ann is finishing her missions in the casino
- Fixed sprite errors that occur with the mortar.
- The mortar should work consistently now.
CHANGES
- Increased the point value of optional story-based tasks to encourage their completion.
- Loading errors now return you to the save menu. Make sure that you select a save slot and try again.
V3.99c, released August 25, 2023
KNOWN ISSUES
- CRITICAL: I accidentally left on a test key, which is numpad 0. It will zip you to Michelle’s door. Don’t press it. Sorry.
- The mortar & pestle in Chapter 3 sometimes fails to accept reagents after a recipe rejection. Just close the mortar and reinitiate it.
- Certain arrows drift over time for some reason, I haven’t figured out why yet. It’s not a big deal I don’t think.
- Clicking too fast when Ann is returning from the casino can spit the player out to the wrong location.
BUG FIXES
- The Téa extraction blackout bug was fixed.
- You can no longer return to Blaze’s apartment at the end of Chapter 4.
- The assailants should no longer respawn inappropriately at the end of Chapter 4.
- The vial sprites should display correctly now.
- Fixed boomerang bug in Michelle’s apartment when visiting her for the first time.
- Fixed a UI hang that sometimes occurs in the casino.
- Fixed an exploit that allowed players to complete Chapter 3 without completing the dispeller first.
- Corrected a bug which told the player to find a blood source on campus after the window of opportunity had already closed.
V3.99b, released August 21, 2023
KNOWN ISSUES
- CRITICAL: The Memories Shop entries for the main girls are still in development and I left them on by accident. Do not use them or your game will hang. Sorry.
- CRITICAL: At the conclusion of Chapter 4, while evading the police, it is possible to return to Blaze’s apartment. This is not intended, and doing so can trap the player. So don’t do it.
- Returning to Hammer in late Chapter 4 after a game load can cause the assailants to respawn. Just ignore them.
- On any extraction after the first, Téa’s scenes will black out without returning to the normal screen. Press F5 to restore the screen.
- The vial has some graphical errors where it does not correctly show the potions correctly or the amount of maidenthirst. The text should be correct, however.
- The mortar & pestle in Chapter 3 sometimes fails to accept reagents after a recipe rejection. Just close the mortar and reinitiate it.
BUG FIXES
- A mistake that made certain characters appear too early was fixed.
- Clicking arrows rapidly in the forest as Ann will no longer lock the arrows.
- Fixed a boomerang bug that can trap the player in Landhurst’s office.
- Fixed the pestle animation glitch.
- Fixed the dim screen bug that happens when you don’t have enough time to fast travel from the Stable.
CHANGES
- Various graphical enhancements.
- It is no longer possible to go into Chapter 4 without having fed on Mara at least once.
- Tried to make it a little more obvious that there are 24 save slots available, not 3.
- Slightly reduced starting cash.
- Reduced starting burden by 1.
- Increased starting speed by 1.
V3.99, released August 15, 2023
NOTES
I can’t fix this right now, but the bounding box for characters to give them something is actually somewhere below their head, so if you’re having trouble giving an item over, drag it down lower than you think you need to and it’ll work.
The game loads cinematics separate from the rest of the game, so the first cinematic of every session of play (each individual boot) will hold the black screen fade out a little longer than normal. Just be patient. Will make a loading screen for future versions.
KNOWN ISSUES
- If you’re experiencing the pestle animation bug, where the pestle appears on a load and starts grinding, resave your game and load it. It should go away. If it doesn’t, save on a new slot and load that.
- If you go into Chapter 4 without having fed on Mara at least once, you will not be able to progress Mara’s quest line. You’ll have to go back to Chapter 3 and feed on Mara if you wish to complete the game.
- The vial has some graphical errors where it does not correctly show the potions correctly or the amount of maidenthirst. The text should be correct, however.
- The mortar & pestle in Chapter 3 sometimes fails to accept reagents after a recipe rejection. Just close the mortar and reinitiate it.
- Clicking the arrows too quickly in the forest during Ann’s mission will cause the arrows to lock up and become unresponsive. The F5 debug button does not help.
- If you ask Ann to collect flowers AND spy on the same night, she will only do the spying mission. You’ll have to ask her to do the collection again.
BUG FIXES
- Mortar & pestle no longer blocked from use if you do it too early in Chapter 4.
- Fixed a minor bug where the lake guy’s strength wasn’t being checked correctly (strength requirement is higher)
- Fixed some instances of the rare but critical save-persistent menu glitch.
- Fixed a bug which allowed access to the menus via the keyboard when they should not be.
- Repaired several mechanical errors that tend to occur when the player is being moved as part of a dialog or cut scene.
- Fixed a bug that would permanently lock the player out from Téa if they made the wrong dialog choice.
- Fixed a bug where the maidenthirst is not returned to you even when the recipe is abandoned.
- Melissa Moore should be accessible more than once, in case you pass on first meeting
- Fixed a bug that caused Brendan to reappear in Chapter 4 after he should be gone.
IMPROVEMENTS
- Added a “finish” screen to the end of the current content; post your scorescreens in the Discord, to let amalgam know you finished the game (it helps me know the game is working okay)
- Transferring your game to the Subscriber version will now immediately allow access to the Subscriber extras.
- It is no longer possible to have negative charm
- Boot time reduced 2-3x
- Game storage size reduced 4x
V3.987, released August 9, 2023
BUGS DISCOVERED
- You may be blocked from using the mortar & pestle early in Chapter 4. You can clear the block by simply visiting the casino first.
BUG FIXES
- The arrow from university back to downtown was fixed.
- Viagra purchase should work alright now.
- Partial fix for the persistent save glitch implemented. If you find your menus suddenly not working and it is persistent in the save file, see ADDITIONS below.
CHANGES
- The “woman in the alley” will no longer appear during the Chapter 4 gunfight if you hadn’t found her already.
- Removed F9 HUD debug
- Cost of Viagra increased to $100
- The score display in the Stable screen should now adjust along with your resolution.
- Made the end of content in Chapter 5 more obvious
- Subscriber exclusive memory shop items now hidden on the public release, to reduce confusion.
ADDITIONS
- Added persistent menu glitch debug button (F11). If any menus seem broken, try using this debug.
SUB-RELEASE
- See main release v3.984
V3.986, released August 7, 2023
BUGS DISCOVERED
- The arrow taking you back to downtown from the university is bugged. It will take you to a black screen with the UI locked. I suggest using fast travel to get around, but if you end up in that position, press the F5 debug button to release the UI, then travel via stable or coffin return.
- Purchasing Viagra bugs out on the first purchase, and is then successful on the second purchase.
- An unusual error is afflicting some players where menus are persistently glitched, even across saves. No easy fix. Submit save files to amalgam for repair.
BUG FIXES
- Player can now collect Calladium normally.
- Pre-activated Chapter 4 gunmen removed.
- Mission update box should be consistent in all resolutions.
- Should no longer be possible to reach the booksearches before they are necessary
SUB-RELEASE
- See main release v3.984
V3.985, released August 6, 2023
SUB-RELEASE
- See main release v3.984
BUGS DISCOVERED
- There is a bug which prevents the player from collecting Calladium in Chapter 4. Go to the casino at least once and it should resolve itself.
- I accidentally left some Chapter 4 characters pre-activated in Chapter 1. They are the gunmen in Hammer District. Ignore them.
- Playing in 16:9 is causing the mission update box to appear in the wrong size. Check your task list.
- It is possible to access the booksearches before that quest has actually been activated. If you are in the library in Chapter 4, it’s best that you stay away from the booksearch kiosk until you have spoken to Magmar the second time.
- Use of F9 HUD reset actually makes things worse in 16:9. Do not use.
BUG FIXES
- Stalking Ann’s father will no longer lock the screen.
- Created a workaround for the suite boomerang bug; the Out arrow in the room will activate, allowing you to exit (this one’s really hard to fix)
- The assailants should be properly gone now when skipping the gunfight.
CHANGES
- Téa can no longer be used to assist in the library. Brendan is the person you need to talk to.
- Players can now select 16:9 or 16:10 ratio resolutions, depending on what works best for them. Note that the game was not designed for 16:9 so many things will look off.
v3.984, released August 2, 2023
SCOPE
This is the complete public game so far from Chapter 0 through the very beginning of Chapter 5.
Chapter 4 is 95% complete. The chapter’s climax is a survival challenge that is not yet fully developed. Feel free to skip it.
Gameplay is over once all your tasks are listed as insoluble.
KNOWN ISSUES
- There is a rare bug where, If you click rapidly while typing in your name when starting a new game, it may cause the player to start in a black screen and be unable to do anything. Just don’t do that.
- For some reason some players are unable to boot the game in the correct resolution, which causes UI problems. Use F9 to restore a missing HUD and F1-F4 to access the menus.
DISCOVERED BUGS
- When stalking Ann's father, the game will freeze. Use the F5 debug button to get out of the freeze, then go outside to the intersection. You should be able to find Ann's apartment from there.
- If you take Téa to help you in the library, your screen may freeze. Use the same solution as above.
- If this still doesn’t lead to success, I recommend you take Brendan to help you instead.
- If you skip the gunfight, the assailants may still be found in various locations, but they should be “deactivated”. In the event they are not, reload your game and go through the gunfight instead. There are four assailants and are killed with one strike so it shouldn’t take too long.
- A bug has been found where some players “boomerang” back into the preacher’s suite after talking to him. You need to download v3.985.
IMPROVEMENTS
- Loading time substantially improved (boot time is still long)
- Fixed a variety of sprites that were cut off.
- All mandatory puzzles can now be skipped.
- Chapter 1 substantially reworked for better flow and gameplay clarity.
- Brendan has been retconned to no longer be a school friend of Michelle’s, for better flow and gameplay clarity.
- Clickable areas in the scene now spawn a small arrow to help you identify and differentiate what you are clicking on.
- If you have the Astregression ability when running out of time, the game will prompt you to use it if you wish.
- Téa is now accessible beyond Chapter 2 as long as you have the things you need.

- You may be blocked from using the mortar & pestle early in Chapter 4. You can clear the block by simply visiting the casino first.
BUG FIXES
- The arrow from university back to downtown was fixed.
- Viagra purchase should work alright now.
- Partial fix for the persistent save glitch implemented. If you find your menus suddenly not working and it is persistent in the save file, see ADDITIONS below.
CHANGES
- The “woman in the alley” will no longer appear during the Chapter 4 gunfight if you hadn’t found her already.
- Removed F9 HUD debug
- Cost of Viagra increased to $100
- The score display in the Stable screen should now adjust along with your resolution.
- Made the end of content in Chapter 5 more obvious
- Subscriber exclusive memory shop items now hidden on the public release, to reduce confusion.
ADDITIONS
- Added persistent menu glitch debug button (F11). If any menus seem broken, try using this debug.
SUB-RELEASE
- See main release v3.984
V3.986, released August 7, 2023
BUGS DISCOVERED
- The arrow taking you back to downtown from the university is bugged. It will take you to a black screen with the UI locked. I suggest using fast travel to get around, but if you end up in that position, press the F5 debug button to release the UI, then travel via stable or coffin return.
- Purchasing Viagra bugs out on the first purchase, and is then successful on the second purchase.
- An unusual error is afflicting some players where menus are persistently glitched, even across saves. No easy fix. Submit save files to amalgam for repair.
BUG FIXES
- Player can now collect Calladium normally.
- Pre-activated Chapter 4 gunmen removed.
- Mission update box should be consistent in all resolutions.
- Should no longer be possible to reach the booksearches before they are necessary
SUB-RELEASE
- See main release v3.984
V3.985, released August 6, 2023
SUB-RELEASE
- See main release v3.984
BUGS DISCOVERED
- There is a bug which prevents the player from collecting Calladium in Chapter 4. Go to the casino at least once and it should resolve itself.
- I accidentally left some Chapter 4 characters pre-activated in Chapter 1. They are the gunmen in Hammer District. Ignore them.
- Playing in 16:9 is causing the mission update box to appear in the wrong size. Check your task list.
- It is possible to access the booksearches before that quest has actually been activated. If you are in the library in Chapter 4, it’s best that you stay away from the booksearch kiosk until you have spoken to Magmar the second time.
- Use of F9 HUD reset actually makes things worse in 16:9. Do not use.
BUG FIXES
- Stalking Ann’s father will no longer lock the screen.
- Created a workaround for the suite boomerang bug; the Out arrow in the room will activate, allowing you to exit (this one’s really hard to fix)
- The assailants should be properly gone now when skipping the gunfight.
CHANGES
- Téa can no longer be used to assist in the library. Brendan is the person you need to talk to.
- Players can now select 16:9 or 16:10 ratio resolutions, depending on what works best for them. Note that the game was not designed for 16:9 so many things will look off.
v3.984, released August 2, 2023
SCOPE
This is the complete public game so far from Chapter 0 through the very beginning of Chapter 5.
Chapter 4 is 95% complete. The chapter’s climax is a survival challenge that is not yet fully developed. Feel free to skip it.
Gameplay is over once all your tasks are listed as insoluble.
KNOWN ISSUES
- There is a rare bug where, If you click rapidly while typing in your name when starting a new game, it may cause the player to start in a black screen and be unable to do anything. Just don’t do that.
- For some reason some players are unable to boot the game in the correct resolution, which causes UI problems. Use F9 to restore a missing HUD and F1-F4 to access the menus.
DISCOVERED BUGS
- When stalking Ann's father, the game will freeze. Use the F5 debug button to get out of the freeze, then go outside to the intersection. You should be able to find Ann's apartment from there.
- If you take Téa to help you in the library, your screen may freeze. Use the same solution as above.
- If this still doesn’t lead to success, I recommend you take Brendan to help you instead.
- If you skip the gunfight, the assailants may still be found in various locations, but they should be “deactivated”. In the event they are not, reload your game and go through the gunfight instead. There are four assailants and are killed with one strike so it shouldn’t take too long.
- A bug has been found where some players “boomerang” back into the preacher’s suite after talking to him. You need to download v3.985.
IMPROVEMENTS
- Loading time substantially improved (boot time is still long)
- Fixed a variety of sprites that were cut off.
- All mandatory puzzles can now be skipped.
- Chapter 1 substantially reworked for better flow and gameplay clarity.
- Brendan has been retconned to no longer be a school friend of Michelle’s, for better flow and gameplay clarity.
- Clickable areas in the scene now spawn a small arrow to help you identify and differentiate what you are clicking on.
- If you have the Astregression ability when running out of time, the game will prompt you to use it if you wish.
- Téa is now accessible beyond Chapter 2 as long as you have the things you need.

EXPERIMENTAL ADDITIONS (not fully functional)
