Editor takes
“Prototype already has enough archetype variation to make me want another run, even if the one-week scope shows in how fast you see it all.”
“The 16-night hunt into endless is a decent pacing hook, but with only a week of design I'm not convinced the blood-to-teeth economy has the depth to stay balanced for long.”
How to play
Use the mouse to click or drag and drop teeth into your mouth, and press buttons to make choices. Manage your blood economy between fights: spend blood on teeth and upgrades, and finish each night's hunt before sunrise or you burn.
Tips
- Spend blood early on teeth that work well together rather than a mix of random junk.
- Don't neglect healing: a dead vampire can't finish the hunt.
- Keep an eye on the clock and finish hunts before sunrise.
- Try different starting archetypes; they play noticeably differently.
