Portents In Red Wishlist On Steam Link

Currently planned for a full digital PC release, with the potential for console and physical releases down the line. Full controller and keyboard support is planned to be available from launch. The hope is to provide full mod support for the game, which will extend the game's lifespan exponentially, allowing you to customize and tweak to your heart's content.

Although the focus is on delivering the best single-player experience possible, a multiplayer mode may be possible in the future, allowing players to embrace their vampiric nature with friends. With everything still up in the air until release, there's no telling what the future holds for this thrilling new game but one thing's for sure – this is a game you won't want to miss.

Character Creation Image.png

Creating a unique and compelling character is essential to any RPG. The plan is for a sophisticated character creation system that allows you to craft the perfect vampire character to suit your tastes. You are set to be able to fully customise your character’s appearance and clothing but that’s not all!

Choose your Legacy – the vampiric bloodline that runs through your veins – and select two Carrion Arts – powerful supernatural abilities that allow you to manipulate the world around you. But be warned, each Legacy is set to have its own specific advantage and disadvantage, and the attitude towards your particular Legacy is set to alter how your character is perceived by their vampiric peers, so choose wisely!

With endless possibilities at your fingertips, you'll have the power to shape your character into the ultimate predator of the night. While hard work is being put into bringing you the best possible character creation experience, it’s not possible to guarantee that everything is set in stone until the game's release.

Gameplay Image.png

You will undertake various tasks that offer experience and other rewards. Some tasks will be mandatory, while others will be optional. You will have the freedom to complete different tasks in multiple ways, making each playthrough unique and varied. Contrary to what you may be used to, you won't earn experience by mindlessly killing enemies or innocents. Instead, you will have to be strategic and creative in how you complete each task.

Tasks are not all cut from the same cloth; they vary widely, shaped by the hands that assign them, the prerequisites they demand, and the rewards they promise. From securing a cryptic artefact to infiltrating the heart of a heavily fortified structure, the obligations and challenges presented to you as a vampire are as varied as the shadows themselves. These tasks might emerge from your immortal kin or unsuspecting humans on the fringe of the supernatural.

Delve into conversations with humans and other vampires alike, which will be more than just mindless chit-chat. Every dialogue choice can potentially have a significant impact on the outcome of a task or altering your reputation with a particular faction.

While combat will be a key feature of the game, it will not always be necessary or advisable. Public areas will have guards, police officers or soldiers who will attack if you act violently, and supernatural acts will draw the attention of Beholders – that is humans who can sense the supernatural.

The game is set to feature an open-world map set on an island with a thematic weather system, including plenty of rain, with the possibility of underground sections. The game's transportation system is set to include a variety of legal and illegal options, giving players an assortment of choices to travel around the map. The plan is to have as few loading screens as possible to maintain immersion, though loading screens will likely be necessary for fast travel.

As the game is constantly evolving so is the gameplay. As a result, it’s not possible to promise that everything presented here will be final.
