Vampire-themed RPG Vampyr is Epic Games Store’s eighth free mystery game for this holiday season

Vampyr was developed by DONTNOD Entertainment, a game development studio whose portfolio includes the Life is Strange series and Tell Me Why. Understandably, they have proven their mettle as game developers, as well as their ability to weave a compelling story. Vampyr is no exception in that regard.

Vampyr is set in 1918’s London, where the citizens have been ravaged by flu. Players are put in the shoes of Dr. Jonathan Reid, a vampire, who must find a cure to end the suffering. As a true roleplaying game, Vampyr gives players the freedom to be truly evil or benevolent, with meaningful ramifications for every action.

The combat of the game is simple, yet quite enjoyable. However, the most standout part of Vampyr is the well-designed NPCs scattered across the various village hubs of the game world. They all have their own stories and relationships, and the player may choose to help them or outright feed on them.
