Why you should take notice of Vampyr

After watching Dontnod's first webseries episode, Vampyr: Making Monsters, I am hooked. Hauntingly beautiful music, stunning graphics, and a fascinating tale; Vampyr might just be the Vampire game we've been waiting for.

Dontnod's explanation of what makes vampires different than other monsters sets the stage for creating a very interesting monster. "What interests me about vampires. compared with other supernatural creatures (like werewolves or ghouls), is that the vampire is self-aware of their nature as a creature, a predator, " explains Game Director Phillipe Moreau. "They are intelligent. This is intriguing for me because we can use this notion of dilemma of moral choice, with the vampire figure."

In Vampyr, you play as Jonathan, a brilliant doctor conducting research on blood transfusion techniques. How fitting. Jonathan returns to England after the war and is turned into a vampire.
