Vamp Night is like a demo that suddenly got thrown out into Steam and released. All the parts kind of work, but there really isn't much of a game here. You're basically put into this world without any real direction and just told to survive as long as you can. Beyond that? You've got to make your own fun from that point on.
So what can you do in here? First, you can work on your computer. It's one of the first ways you can make money. Just go over to the computer and watch your vampire character sit down, then watch it type like a storm. Now that you've worked, you can head out for some blood. Just find the first dude nearby, and mash E and now you're all full of blood. You could take in the night life into the bar and have some fun. Vampires love to play awful implementations of arkanoid (bugged) or space invaders, or doing the worst rhythm game you've ever seen. Then, you can wander around aimlessly until you find the meat delivery guy and you can Uber those over to people as a bat. At that point, you might've gotten tired so it's time to ramble over home.
But wait, it's not your home. It's like a hotel or something. Not only that, it costs you $250 to just open the door to head back to your room. What's that, you say? Your character is too depressed to do work? Sounds like you have to go back to the bar and mash E at the arcade and come back to spend another $250 before you can do work again.
Sounds like being a homeowner is the way to go, right? So let’s talk about what you’ll be doing for that. Wake up, go drink blood from the same guy, ran over to the bar and have “fun”, run back to your room and work until from exhaustion, sleep. Then, repeat that. And again. And again. You get the idea? Is this your ideal vampire life? If so, you’ve found a great game for you. Sure, you could go figure out what’s happening in the church with the “crazy” priest or try to find some work from people at the bar, but you’re just wasting time until you own a house.
There’s more you could say here about the game like the fact that the music in the main menu sounds like they were played wrong, but honestly? If you’ve read the above, you know exactly what you’re going into with Vamp Night. But, I feel like you could have more fun in the real world, sadly.
