About the Game

A Detective Without a Clue... or Fangs.

Meet Montserrat. She's a 20-something investigator hailing from the prestigious Montblanc clan—a legendary lineage of vampire detectives. There's just one catch: Montserrat has absolutely no vampire traits. She hates the sight of blood, has terrible night vision, lacks super strength, and definitely doesn't turn into a bat! Fortunately, she isn't working alone. She's partnered with Arko, a legendary 1,000-year-old demon-dog who used to work with her famous father. Arko has a supernatural nose for clues, a wealth of experience, and a remarkably low tolerance for Montserrat's rookie mistakes.

The Mystery of La Potra Relinchona

Vampires from prominent clans are vanishing, and the bloody trail leads straight to the remote town of Funest Village and the infamous mansion, La Potra Relinchona. Once owned by the eccentric billionaire Lord Salazar Sinister and his occult-obsessed wife, Doña Elena Sinister, the estate is now up for sale, but local rumors of macabre events and self-arranging furniture are driving buyers away.

Ordered by the Grand Vampire Council, Montserrat must go undercover as a wealthy, prospective buyer to investigate the mansion. But what starts as a simple scouting mission quickly spirals into a deadly conspiracy involving a secret society and a dark ritual to resurrect a legendary evil who needs exactly 9 vampire corpses to return to full power.

Will Montserrat become the 9th corpse, or will she finally prove she's a true Montblanc?
