Vampire Maid

This is a linear visual novel game based on Vampire Maid, a short story by James Hume Nisbet (published in 1900). The game was made in one month, in the spirit of Spooktober Visual Novel Jam 2023.

The story is about a man who has lost his inspiration, and while searching for it at the Westmorland moors he comes across a cottage where he meets a mysterious girl. Has he met his muse... or his doom?
