Vampyr

Vampyr is an action role-playing game from studio DONTNOD Entertainment, which takes place in London in 1918. The main character is a doctor who returned from the front and turned into a vampire. The city is divided into districts, and the condition of each depends on the health of the residents. You can feed on blood, but it affects entire neighborhoods: the death of a noticeable person leads to disease and unrest. Fights take place with swords and using abilities, and the development of the hero depends on how he solves ethical problems. In addition to battles, there are investigations, dialogues and medical work. The atmosphere is gloomy, the music is appropriate. It is also worth noting that the city’s districts are interconnected: the worse the condition of the district, the more dangerous it becomes and the worse people’s lives are. In addition to battles, there are investigations and conversations, and medical practice gives access to important information. The hero's development depends on how he solves ethical problems, and this affects his abilities. The dialogue is long, with choice of lines, and some of the consequences appear after several hours. The design is dark, the music emphasizes the anxiety, and the tone of the story remains serious until the end. Food and medicine affect residents, so caring for neighborhoods is not only a moral issue, but also a practical one. Some of the tasks are related to medical work, and the attitude of residents towards the hero depends on it. Abilities develop in two ways, and the choice between them affects battles. For those who love stories about choices with consequences, the Vampyr provides a rare example.
