Crimson Tithe

You are a vampire newly risen in the woods above a sleeping village. Each night, slip between the houses and feed. Drain your victims for blood, or turn them into servants. Before dawn the werewolf packs come for your crypt, and your servants must hold the line. Survive twenty nights to rule the Eternal Night.

How to play

• Move with WASD or the arrow keys, by holding the mouse on the map, or with the touch stick.
• Bite (Space) a human next to you. Feeding takes a few seconds and heals you. Anyone who sees you feed raises the alarm, so stay out of lamplight and away from crowds.
• Turn or drain (T): a turned victim joins your army but gives less blood. Watchmen and hunters become tougher servants.
• Mesmerize (E) freezes everyone around you: they cannot see, flee or fight. Dash (Shift) turns you into a swarm of bats for a moment.
• The siege: your servants fight on their own. You claw the nearest werewolf automatically; mesmerize a pack, then bite an entranced werewolf to heal.
• At dusk, spend blood on upgrades, promote servants into Ghouls and Fledglings, repair the crypt and choose a Dark Gift.
• Essence earned from every run buys permanent Bloodline upgrades. Survive night 20 to unlock the Eclipse ladder.
