Press release:
Dutch developer Wispfire and indie label Fellow Traveller today revealed Red Kiss, a dark and stylish narrative RPG where you join a house of vampire spies and take part in heated espionage across the graffiti-filled streets of 1980s Berlin.

Red Kiss blends strategic gameplay, seductive relationships, and reactive RPG storytelling into a blood-fuelled thriller about loyalty, paranoia, and desire, all set at the end of the Cold War. You will take on the role of an “Augur”, a newly turned vampire capable of telepathically directing your agents across Berlin’s underground rail network.

Recruited by the mysterious and manipulative “Daddy,” you will build a found-family of dangerous operatives while balancing espionage missions, personal relationships, and bloodlust. Daddy will give you purpose… and he says you are the most exquisite specimen he’s ever seen.

Between clandestine operations and high-risk heists, you will deepen relationships with an eclectic cast through intimate conversations, late-night missions, and blood bonds that unlock new abilities and alter the course of the story.

The team at Wispfire have used a new approach to in-game character performance by combining Live2D animation with motion capture technology typically used by VTubers, allowing its 2D cast to move and emote with an ambitious level of intimacy and immersion.

For more updates on Red Kiss, wishlist the game on Steam, Wispfire’s website, Bluesky, or Facebook, and Fellow Traveller on Bluesky, TikTok, Instagram, Threads, or join the official Fellow Traveller Discord.
