Vampires

I know most people probably don't care about this game, but I'm not aware of any other big budget vampire games coming out soon and I like posting vampire news when I can. Otherwise, this community will just end up being nothing but nostalgia-bait. I don't want it to be an endless stream of " 'member this movie?" even though that's primarily what it is now.

Anyway, the "something that nobody yet has done" mentioned in the title is this part:

I designed a protagonist who, in the day, is a human, with all the weaknesses of a human being. [However], at night, you are a vampire, which is stronger and faster, and you have better abilities and supernatural skills. It’s somehow interesting, this duality of the hero, which we know from Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde, for example. It’s something in pop culture that is well known and wasn’t yet explored in games.

These two sides of Coen, human during the day and vampire at night, play directly into The Blood of Dawnwalker's novel 'time as a resource' mechanic, which sees the game's in-game clock advance every time Coen completes a quest or task. This passage of time means that gamers controlling Coen will have to choose what they are going to do in a given period of time and, as a result, what they're not going to do.
