#queer vampire jam

[raecchi]

I have finally, finally broken my twenty year curse of unfinished text games. Thank you, Queer Vampire Jam!

Mysterious Mansion by Raecchi

Classic CYOA-Style Story

You arrive in a small town in search of your friend and fellow monster hunter, Darin. They vanished after sending you one last text about a mysteriously appearing mansion, and now you're standing outside it. If they're in there, you might be able to rescue them... assuming you can stay alive long enough to find them.

A Twine story in the style of a classic Choose Your Own Adventure book, but queer-friendly and appropriate to readers in their late teens and up. There are mentions of sexuality and endings where the player dies, but neither in graphic detail. I am hoping to include a more robust set of content warnings in the future, but for now, please read with caution if you have any serious triggers. The player's gender is not referenced at any point, but they are assumed to be allo- or at least Darin-sexual. :)

Thank you to my lovely beta readers for pinch-hitting this thing and my friends for cheering me on. <3

oxblood by Naarel

it's just ink.

She's Etheldred. She's Ethel. She's Adele. She's a vampire. It's in her nature to bite. It's in her nature to hurt others. It's in her nature to self-destruct.

Or at least, that's what she claims.

My entry for Shufflecomp 2025 and Queer Vampire Jam 2026, oxblood, is here! So, check it out if you have time

Synopsis:

Cursed by your friend, you seek to find a vampire to break the curse tonight. Encountering a mysterious man at a club, you face choices about how far you'll go and how you wish to spend the night with him. This queer tale explores themes of asexuality and the longing for platonic connections, with subtext about vampirism.

more info under the cut!

game synopsis:

Eternally cursed with a never-ending hunger, you have fought long and hard to resist the urge to drink human blood. This meant never staying in the same place for too long and never getting attached to anyone. The journey has been a long one, to say the least. 

Desperate for a place to rest your aching feet and a meal to quench the unquenchable, you find temporary refuge at a pub at the edge of town that reeks of rat droppings and day-old vomit. Your relief is short-lived, though, stunted by the presence of a vampire hunter sitting beside you at the bar. 

Navigating through conversation steeped with fear, friendship, and fatal attraction may be the only way left to keep your head. 

Will you be strong enough to fight your primal urges or will you give in to your desire? Perhaps, in more ways than one?

general about:

made for the 2024 queer vampire game jam, me and a handful of creatives got together to make our first game in 25 days! we learned alot in the process, and i think overall it is so exciting to have our efforts be a tangible (metaphorically) thing at the end of it.

i had the honor of working with @vitariesocks as our character artist and character cg artist, diskogoblin on IG for the pub background, and mayacheavwrites on IG for beta writing and for the beautiful game blurb above! i (scryillo/nightjar_nocturne on itch) had the opportunity to work on the game's narrative and code.

in game screenshots:

content warnings for the game include:

blood, biting, general vampire gore described and at times visualized

paranoia, hunger

queer shame, queer guilt, and instances of dysphoria

Fanart of Julien, Adeline, Henri, and one of their kitties from "The Need To Live," a game made in part by my oldest friend Chrysu! Part of the 2024 Queer Vampire Game Jam, it's a great game with appealing characters, fantastic art, 6 dramatic endings, and flawless coding💻 Check it out!
