Vampire RPG Explores Duality Through Jekyll-and-Hyde Gameplay
Rebel Wolves studio has unveiled innovative features for their upcoming vampire-themed role-playing game, highlighting the protagonist's dual nature as a core gameplay element.
A Fresh Take on Classic Duality
Game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz explained their approach focuses on delivering a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde experience rarely seen in video games. This unexplored concept introduces surreal layers that could reshape RPG conventions.
Tomaszkiewicz notes the challenge lies in balancing moments when players control an ordinary human versus their empowered vampire form. This contrast creates tension between fragility and supernatural strength.
Innovation Versus Tradition
The development team carefully evaluates RPG conventions to determine which mechanics to preserve or reinvent. Tomaszkiewicz warns that even subtle changes can spark controversy among genre traditionalists.
Referencing Kingdom Come: Deliverance's controversial schnapps-based save system, he emphasizes the importance of balancing novelty with player expectations. The team aims to create fresh experiences while respecting RPG fundamentals.
The game is scheduled for its first gameplay reveal in summer 2025, offering players a look at this ambitious approach to vampire fiction and character duality.
