Dev Diary #5: Who is the hero?

Many visual novels have you play "the hero." This could be a young woman who's left home to attend a private school or a young man who has inherited his grandfather's hotel for busty young women--the main character is essentially a placeholder for you, the player.

But "Bloodlines" is all about exploring different perspectives. We start the story with Mia, but the player is soon given the choice to follow Ben instead. This, in turn, allows the player to unlock either Clara or Valerie's Bloodline. So, you'll find yourself following many characters along their journeys...but if the point of this game is to turn everyone into a vampire, can there even be a "hero"?

If you're looking for a "good guy" who's going to fight the vampires... yes, we have some of those. Without spoiling too much, I'll say that a few characters (who will be appearing in the January update) are going to stand up to our creatures of the night and try to save the village from the curse of the vampires. These "heroes" will have their own Bloodlines to explore and many encounters with their corrupted friends and neighbors, but it will be up to you to see if any of them make it out of the village alive...
