You play as Liza, a young woman newly turned into a vampire in a 19th-century Eastern European-inspired town. As she adjusts to her new life, she meets humans and vampires whose personal troubles and ambitions become part of her story.
Explore the town, talk with its residents, and take on quests that can change their lives. Use vampire abilities such as turning into a bat, becoming invisible, and hypnotizing people to travel, gather information, or seek blood.
Your nights have limited time, so decide how to spend them as events and quests unfold. Develop Liza’s knowledge in subjects including art, literature, history, and science to open dialogue options, while choices shape her humanity or nihilism, relationships, and the stories’ outcomes.
In the supplied reviews, players often enjoy the character-focused stories, gothic atmosphere, and choices that influence Liza’s relationships and the lives of people she meets. Many also praise the voice acting and music, and appreciate the chance to role-play different kinds of vampires. Some players report bugs, restrictive saving, or pressure from timed quests, while opinions differ on how much the endings and romances vary.
Cabernet is a 2D narrative RPG set in a 19th century Eastern European inspired world, with a modern twist. Guide Liza, a young vampire struggling with her morality and the supernatural world she has been pulled into. Will you retain your humanity or descend further into the horror you have become? Prepare to explore a hidden world of political intrigue, class conflict, and decadent corruption.
Use the moonlit sky to plan your next feast and explore. Mingle among vampiric society and the humans who feed them. Uncover who can aid your new kin and whose only purpose is to be drained.
Vampirism isn't just an unholy transformation of your body-- it also threatens to transform your mind. Will you choose to indulge your empathetic humanity or embrace your newfound nihilism?
But to lure your next meal somewhere safe and secluded, you'll need to understand who they are and what they desire. A kind-hearted, alcoholic coachman? A fraying newlywed couple? A greedy, yet charming charlatan? Their lives are yours to aid or unravel.
Art, literature, history, science, these are the skills you'll require to succeed. Your knowledge will be your greatest weapon in a world where the cunning drain the brutal of life.
