~Adytum 1~ :: Bound By Blood

Our game pitch has gotten quite a bit of recognition now. Those who delight in stories of old Gothique lore and literature are in for a treat with Sumitsuki's first game project, Adytum: Bound By Blood.

The game is promising a blend of old and neo-Gothic elements including dark romanticism, fantasy creatures (vampires, golems, gargoyles, spirits, and more), a Byronic protagonist, drama and action, all rolled into a medium length visual novella meets tactical roleplaying game experience.

Adytum: Bound by Blood follows flaxen-haired vampiric and strikingly popular amongst his female friends Yukio as he and his companions struggle against the waves of coming oppression by the dark Vampire Lord, Ozul. As friendships and rivalries develop and secrets are unearthed, Yukio must learn to use his blood-sucking powers for the greater good of humankind, despite vampires being a dwindling race because of human prejudice.

Weather is also a determining factor for players success as they will brave Mother nature, or use various weather patterns to their advantage in battle.

Adytum is slated to present on-the-fly troop creation. Your vampire characters will be able to suck blood from their opponents to produce loyal (or not so loyal) pets and summons. Everything is on-the-go.

The battle system is currently under discussion, so no further details are available, although it should be known that this is a TACTICAL game, so some tactics mechanics do apply.
