About the Game

🩸A turn-based tactics RPG where you command a vampire coterie in a war of shadows, secrets, and blood.

(Pre-Alpha Build - Visuals are not final and don't represent the final state for the game)

The Darker Night – Tactics is a rewarding experience for players who crave deep strategy, meaningful customization, and a gripping narrative woven into a modern vampire mythos.

In the rain-slicked streets of Elysium, you don't conquer with armies. You dominate through cunning—positioning your coven, exploiting the fog of war, and using the city itself as your weapon.

Plan every move. Control every shadow. Survive the night.

Features

  • Tactical Depth, Gothic Style – Position, flank, and outthink your enemies on a modular, tile-based city map that blends urban grit with supernatural flair.

  • Extended Character customization – Tailor your coterie with equipment, abilities, and traits. Build synergies that suit your strategy and playstyle.

  • Command the Coterie – Recruit unique characters like Lucien, the New Money schemer; Bel, the sleepless seer; or Suang, the blood surgeon — each bringing their own story and combat style.

  • The City is Alive – Night and day, fog of war and neutral humans; evolving territories shape every encounter. Every block of the city hides new opportunities – and dangers.

  • Aesthetic of Ink and Blood – Grayscale ink art brought to life with subtle color, light, and motion. A living comic book where every move is a stroke of fate.
