Press release:
May 10, 2023
London, UK – May 10th, 2023.
The London-based (the UK) Critically acclaimed indie games developer Party for Introverts are today very excited and proud to announce that their supernatural narrative 2D RPG “Cabernet” (the game is set in a world of aristocratic vampires), is coming to PC via Steam in 2024.

Master vampiric abilities, plan your next feast, and survive the night. In Cabernet, become the fledgling vampire Liza and immerse yourself in a visually stunning, thematically rich narrative that’s shaped by the choices you make and the relationships you forge.

Straddle the worlds of the living and the undead as you explore an atmospheric small town at the end of the 19th century and navigate a sophisticated story about social conflict, alcoholism, and corruption. Get to know this society’s human and supernatural inhabitants and decide who will be your next meal, interacting through dialogue and wrestling with moral choices that can have far-reaching consequences.

But beware – a vampire must decide their next move before the deadly Sunrise. Use the many vampiric powers at your disposal to stave off hunger, transforming into a bat, hypnotising your prey, or turning invisible. Will you drink just enough to survive, or be consumed by the thrill of the hunt?

“Creating Cabernet has allowed us to explore our undying love of vampiric lore and build a world with themes deeply important and personal to us, including ethics and morality, alcoholism, and attempting to find hope in seemingly hopeless times and places,” said Arseniy Klishin and Laura Gray of Party for Introverts.

“We couldn’t be more excited to finally reveal our game to players.”

Cabernet is launching for PC on Steam in early 2024. Players wishing to find out more or wishlist Cabernet can sink their teeth into the game’s official Steam page.
