Games Like Vlad the Landlord

Vlad's fed up with the red diet, coffin sores, and fang filing! The vampire business is so old. But legends say that with enough blood, a vampire's humanity will return...

Hunt the neighboring buildings for tenants and create a well-assorted "pantry" in Vlad's mansion, manage the growing thirst, unlock vampiric powers, avoid the looming sunrise, and ultimately turn this less-than-optimal landlord human again!

PROWL THE NIGHT

Keep to the shadows and climb, glide, pick locks, and sneak to approach quietly and bite at the opportune moment. Alerted daypeople will struggle when bitten or flee before then, wasting precious blood.

MAKE TENANTS

At a cost of vampire blood, humans can be made into tenants. But be aware, not all humans make great tenants; garlic-loving chefs and trigger-happy soldiers are an acquired taste.

MANAGE YOUR PANTRY

The mansion only has room for so many tenants, and they perish quickly and recover slowly.

MANAGE THE THIRST

Every moon cycle, the thirst grows. Unless quenched in time, it will force you into hibernation. The higher your thirst, the longer your slumber, and the more tenants will move out before you wake.

UNLOCK POWERS

As you return to your coffin each night, spend blood to unlock and upgrade your vampiric powers – from improvements to your vision, climbing, or jumping, to attracting more or better neighbors, to shifting into bat and rat forms!

AVOID THE SUNRISE

Nights end in fiery, blood-draining daylight. Stick to the shade, or head for the safety of your coffin when dawn nears.
