The Impaler

The Count

Dracula

Those were the names that were given to you through the ages; mortals laying claim to something that would long outlive them.

The stories, myths, and legends hanging over you like an ever-present cloud— whether they were based on fact or not didn’t matter— as the centuries passed you by. Empires rising and falling like the evening tide before your eyes.

You don’t know the exact event that caused your long rest— you didn’t truly need to— but the boredom that the mortal world brought weighed on your shoulders like the heaviest of objects.

So, you closed your eyes and drifted away; allowing your body to lull itself into a false sense of serenity.

You just weren’t expecting the next time you opened them that you’d be in an entirely foreign place; new smells assaulting your senses that you’ve never encountered before.

All but one that is…

Blood.

However, when you went to investigate— trying to ignore the strangeness of your surroundings— you’re assaulted by a scene you weren’t expecting; a mutilated corpse lay mere feet from you, that didn’t truly phase you, but the odd object pointed directly at your chest and the shout of ‘police’ was certainly quite peculiar.

What have you gotten yourself into now?

Customizable MC: name, appearance, gender, sexuality, bits and pieces of your background, hobbies, and more!

Romance 1 of 5 possible options! That’ll hopefully make your new life a bit more bearable.

Play as a displaced Dracula that doesn’t know what in the hell is going on. Who’s also found themselves as the prime suspect in a murder investigation. Welcome to the 21st Century?

Will you accept these new objects that mortals seem to be so fond of? What is a cellphone? And why does someone want you to call them later?

Adopt a pet to make things a bit easier for your poor self; they’re something that’s familiar at least.

Make sure that you don’t go too long without feeding and, depending on how you do it, don’t get caught.

Find out what the world has now spun your legend as and what they’ve made your kind out to be. What in the absolute hell is Twilight?

Figure out who killed the victim; either because you want to see justice be served or to save your own ass or something in the middle. Choice is yours…

The world may not be ready for Count Dracula to be back but are you ready for what the world is now too?

Victor/Victoria Helsing - The Detective

33 [6’0” | Gray Eyes | Dark Brown Hair]

The individual that arrested you in the first place— despite your protests— and who holds a shocking resemblance to a man you once knew; annoying as his attempts at killing you might have been. Of course, you can’t truly blame the steely eyed detective for arresting you— after all you were near a dead body— but did they have to be so skeptical to your explanations?

Flynn/Felicity Palmer - The Doctor

33 [5’6” | Hazel Eyes | Strawberry Blonde Hair]

You don’t think you’ve ever seen a mortal so obsessed with death before— the good doctor notwithstanding— and you especially weren’t expecting the clinical way in which they operated. Confidence exuding from their form as they speak about the scientific facts of the situation but the moment it becomes personal? They remind you of a turtle with how quickly they retreat back into their shell.

Tyler/Taylor Kendrick - The Curator

34 [5’8” | Dark Brown Eyes | Onyx Black Hair]

The one in charge of the exhibit that you had woken up in; an individual that seems fascinated with the tales that you tell about your past. Even if they don’t truly believe you’re telling the truth the honest inquires and open questions give you a semblance of an idea that they wish to believe; the pursuit of knowledge is never truly over after all.

Adrian/Ariana Shaw - The Neighbor

30 [5’11” | Green Eyes | Golden-Brown Hair]

Upon moving into your new apartment— a bit of a downgrade from your castle— they’ve been a constant source of help whenever you can’t quite figure out how a new appliance works. With a cheerful disposition, horrible puns, and an all around helpful attitude, you knew that you’d be seeing a lot more of them. Maybe it’ll turn into something more?

Damon/Diana Walker - The Old Friend

32 [6’5” | Steel Blue Eyes | Raven Black Hair]

Someone you haven’t seen in quite some time. Who’s seemed to finally come into their own; from someone who used to trip over their words to a flirtatious heartbreaker. You can’t help but notice, however, whenever you get near they seem to stumble back into their old role. Their words coming out with less suaveness and more quite nerves; you haven’t the slightest inclination why but maybe you’ll figure it out as you get to know them once more.

THE STORY

It all started in the summer of 2022, when a small asteroid crashed in a secluded part of the woods. The asteroid itself didn’t pose a threat. In fact, it was fairly small in size and had shrunk even more during its fall. It’s what came with it that changed the lives of the city residents forever.

A virus.

A virus that had peculiar effects on people. A painful transition period. Some survived. And were left to figure out how to get accustomed to their new abilities. Others were not so lucky. When the transition became too painful to handle, death claimed them. Only a few people knew the true nature of the virus. The rest of the city only ever knew of it as a horrible contagious disease. Thus, the city went into lockdown for a couple of years. Until the scientists found a cure and the deaths started to decrease.

Of course, it isn’t really that simple. After all, we never really know what happened behind closed doors. For one, there are the effects that the virus left behind.

Such as…

…being able to read minds, people’s senses becoming unnaturally developed, abnormally fast healing, super strength, controlling objects without touching them…

Things like that…

You’re next…

It was among a thousand other comments— you had only seen it briefly in passing— but you couldn’t help the chill that wracked your spine because of it. Even through the screen you could feel the malicious air exuding from those words. The omniscient air clogging your lungs as you try to fight through the emotions that rise because of the message.

You’re able to shake it off after a few moments— people on the internet are weird after all— and get back to doing your daily routine. Your attention shifting to other things; causing the message to be forgotten.

That is until a sharp rapping on your door awakens you at close to midnight; your bleary eyes barely taking in the flashing of a badge before you’re asking to come with them. Your ears barely being able to comprehend what it was they were hearing.

You were being targeted by a person that had already killed a dozen other people— all of them holding some presence online— and nothing would stop them from getting to their thirteenth; to you.

Will you be able to survive long enough to see the victims before you get justice? Or will you just be another number on a list that wasn’t able to be saved?

Damien/Diana Carrington 28, [M/F]

-The Roommate-

One of your roommates— the one that actually owns the house you’re living in— who doesn’t really interact with you all that much. Aloof to everyone but their cat, D makes it a point to stay within their room— more than likely sleeping through the day— before disappearing to their job at random hours; not that they needed to work. Being part of one of the richest families in America.

However, with everything that’s happening with you, you’re about to see a side of D that you’ve never even thought possible.

Gray/Grace Anders 27, [M/F]

-The Best Friend-

Your second roommate, and the one you were closest to, who also happens to be your best friend since childhood. With a sunny smile, compassionate demeanor, and giving spirit; you don’t know what you’d do without them by your side. Having them in the house brings a lot of cheer— plus their homemade meals— that you’ll desperately need in the coming weeks.

Will things transition into something more? Or will they stay the same?

Ethan/Emily Ward 32, [M/F]

-The Ex-Con-

The suave, and slightly egocentric, ex criminal that has agreed to help the police with the investigation— sort of like Silence of the Lambs— as they have the skills, and the connections, to help with the investigation; while the authorities have the capacity to give them a get out of jail free card for good behavior.

Will you fall under their silken words? Helping them turn over a new leaf? Or will everything be left to the unknown?

Oliver/Olivia Deveraux 31, [M/F]

-The Detective-

The lead investigator sent to protect you— as the FBI try other angles— with a cool demeanor that tells you of someone that’s seen too much. Will they let you get closer? Or will they push you away like they have everyone else in their life? Will you be their saving grace, like they’ll be to you, or will they be left to drown within themselves?

Will you see through their mask?

Fallon Beckett 29, [M/F]

-The Ex-

The person you thought you were going to marry; spend the rest of your life but misunderstandings broke the two of your apart. Someone who you used to share a bed with, who used to hold your heart and you theirs, becoming nothing but a stranger to you. So, you were surprised when you opened your door and they were standing on the other side. The same soulful gaze, the one you had fallen in love with, being right in front of you once more.

Will you forget your past to set your sights on a brighter future? Or will you always be stuck on that night everything ended?

You died. 

The good news? You’re not dead anymore. 

The bad news? Your memory’s been wiped clean. 

The worse news? The person who wants you dead isn’t done with you. Not by a mile.

This story will be free from start to finish.

DEMO (TBA)

Jack Frost [M]

The most recent addition to The Guardians before you came along. Jack Frost is known far and wide for his laid back disposition, and his tendency to have as much fun as he can, but when push comes to shove he’d do anything to protect the people he cares for.

Appearance: Jack stands at around 6’0” with glacier blue eyes and snow white hair. His fair skin stands out against the blue hoodie that he’s commonly seen in; his trusty staff never far from his person. He always has a playful smile curling his lips. (He has a lithe physique.)

Nicholas Claus [M]

An intimidating man by all appearance, Nicholas is definitely a man that you’d assume would sooner use his fists than talk. However, he’s an overgrown puppy that absolutely adores to help people whenever he can. Just don’t get him angry— or be on his naughty list— and everything will be okay.

Appearance: Nicholas stands at around 7’2” with piercing green eyes and dark auburn hair. His tanned skin is accentuated by the various tattoos easily noticeable across his body. The hulking mass of his body hidden behind simple shirts and pants with his trusty black boots to finish the look.

Toothiana [F]

A gentle entity, Toothiana— or simply Tooth— is a sporadic woman by nature, always shifting around, but she’s always dependable whenever you need her. With an open fascination with well looked after teeth— something you’ll have to get used to— Tooth makes sure you know that you can always count on her; even if she gets distracted easily.

Appearance: Tooth stands at around 5’2” when she isn’t hovering around. Her naturally dark brown hair, when she’s shifted from her scaled appearance, falls to the middle of her back. Bronze skin causing her golden-emerald eyes to stand out that much more.

Seraphina [F]

One of your closest advisors, and friends, Seraphina makes your job that much easier whenever Valentine’s Day rolls around. Her attention to detail and quick wit making everything much smoother. Even if she’s a little rough around the edges, mainly when it comes to other people, you couldn’t imagine having anyone else by your side.

Appearance: Seraphina stands at around 5’6” with dark brown eyes and onyx black hair. Medium brown skin being accentuated by the pearly white apparel that’s common among the individuals within your employ. Her slender, almost delicate, body hiding a hidden strength.

Pitch Black [M/F]

One of the greatest nightmare the world had never seen; The Boogeyman in the flesh. Pitch Black had been nothing but a whispered rumor for years before their return. You don’t know what caused their disassociation with The Man in the Moon, but it’s clearly left a permanent scar. Will you be able to show the embodiment of darkness that love isn’t impossible for them?

Appearance: Pitch stands at around 6’2” with sapphire blue eyes, with specks of gold, and raven black hair. Pallid skin, that almost has a grey hue to it, stands out against the dark clothes— and the shadows— that they’re commonly seen in. Their lithe body has a muscular quality to it.

                                              DEMO Release

Today’s the day!! Thank you all for your patience. I’m beyond excited to share the first demo of No Haven in Hallow Cove!

Please keep in mind that this is very much still a first draft, and subject to change. I welcome and appreciate any feedback you can offer. Currently I have two options for feedback: comments on the itchio page and messages here.  I can’t promise that suggestions will be implemented but I can promise that they will be read, appreciated, and considered. If you see any coding issues like bugs or inconsistencies, please either screenshot or send me the direct text so I can fix it.

The romance system in particular I would love feedback on. Romance styles are so unique to the individual, and I want to make sure I’m incorporating other peoples experiences as well as my own. If there are dialogue options you would have wanted, changes in inner thoughts, alternatives to the current romance options, please let me know! Thank you in advance.

The fact that you are taking the time to read it at all means a lot to me, so thank you.

Also, this book features many adult themes and content that may be disturbing or triggering. I’m not including a detailed list of triggers as it would spoil major plot points so instead I will ask that you please exercise caution and prioritize your own mental health first. If you know that general discussions of mental health are upsetting, this might not be the book for you. I am more than happy to answer if you want to privately message me about specific triggers but that information will not be included on public pages. Thank you for your understanding.

I hope you enjoy the first two chapters.

Haunted by trauma and the ghosts of your family, you were raised alone by your Aunt Lucia in the south of England. Your family all died in a tragic accident when you were young, and you were there to witness every gruesome detail. Now, as a young 20-something, you claim not to remember their deaths, or that experience at all. Because you don't. Right?

Memories flash by you when you sleep, nightmares choking you in the depths of darkness, bloody details you'd wiped from your mind.

Now? You're a paranormal investigator with your two closest friends. Known on the internet as the Supernatural Sleuths, you have an up-and-coming Youtube channel and travel the world in search of paranormal mysteries, hoping to one day prove that this world isn't all it appears to be.

One day, your friend Marzena finds the latest story for you to follow. A woman has been found murdered on the outskirts of a forest in a secluded part of Ireland. No one knows who she is, and nobody has claimed the body. The closest village feigns ignorant. Apparently, this woman is a ghost. Worse still, there are reports that the woman was covered in occult markings and tattoos.

Will you get to the bottom of this mysterious woman's death? Will you uncover the terrifying secrets hidden within the village of Killoch? Or will your own demons consume you before you get the chance?
