We are happy to announce that our latest Vlad update is now available! Some additions have been made to enhance your gameplay experience. Additions include: Updated Art, the ability to choose your quests and weapons, in-game character sheet, new chapter encounters and new challenges based on your stats.

UPDATED ARTWORK
In addition to making various UI and Quest Art improvements we’ve also added a new illustration for defeating Vlad.

QUESTS
You can now choose from a list of quests in each location. This allows you to focus on making more logical choices to drive particular stats. Quests now appear in a more logical order.

WEAPONS
You are now able to choose your weapon based on stats, which allows you to tailor your character. Rare weapons now appear under special conditions as well.

PLAYER STATS
You can now view your stats, attacks, and weapons at any time from the map screen. Each attack listed will also display which stats drive that action.

CHAPTER ENCOUNTERS
In every chapter, there are now encounters where you must make a decision based on your stats. If you make an illogical choice and have insufficient stats, you risk your character’s life.

PLAYER DEATHS
You must now think more carefully when making decisions in quests and combat. If any stat reaches 0, you will die.
