Dawn is nearly here and your mausoleum is on the other side of town! Stealthily make your way back to your crypt before you turn to dust.

Hide in alleyways and hypnotize villagers to lure them to their death and replenish your draining life force.

If a villager sees you acting suspicious, they'll whip out their cross, draining your life force dramatically!

Luckily, you have a trick up your sleeve. Spend your precious life force to transform into a bat, and avoid obstacles such as mirrors and churches. But be careful: bat form quickly depletes your life force, and transformations cause villagers to immediately attack.

Controls

- A/D: Move left/right
- W/S: Enter/Exit alleyways
- LMB/Ctrl: Hypnotize villagers
- Spacebar: Transform

Tips and Tricks

- You can only feed on villagers while you are in an alley
- Alleys block the sun: your life force depletes much slower in them
- Alleys hide your transformations from villagers
- To avoid suspicion, only use your powers on lone villagers, or when others are facing away
- Fly over mirrors with lots of people, or hypnotize a lone villager to walk past safely
- Sunlight burns your bat: use it only to avoid mirrors and churches, or to escape attackers
