Melbourne game development studio Fine Feathered Fiends has announced a Kickstarter to support Draculesti, a horror-romance visual novel adapting Dracula. Per the studio, it’ll be running its Kickstarter very shortly, as a means to cover the “remainder of [its] development costs” as well as features it couldn’t otherwise afford, like voice acting.
Over the last few years, Draculesti has been a highlight of shows like PAX Australia and SXSW Sydney, attracting its audience with a very simple, compelling premise: “Gay Dracula.” In the game, you play as Renfield, reimagined as a hapless lawyer who becomes trapped in Castle Dracula. To survive, he’ll need to rely on his wits, and the game’s cast of mysterious characters.
