Donor

How do you plan to escape a vampire’s lair? Outsmart your captors to secure your freedom.

Richard is a modern vampire who prefers feeding at home, so he always keeps a fresh victim imprisoned in his hideout. None of his captives have ever survived; YOU aim to be the first.

Engage in a battle of wits with Richard, his fellow vampire Paul, and their human servant Charles—a dangerous game where bleeding out is only one of your worries. Discover what it means to share a horrifying trait with your captors: You must kill to stay alive.
