Description
Wintercast is a coming-of-age narrative game. You play as Grey, a young vampire who is forced to flee to safety when a gang hunters destroy your childhood home. The world you live in is at war, and everyone you meet on your journey is trying to get you on side. Do you trust them, or betray them? You're a vampire; you could also just kill them. How you stay safe is up to you. Learn spells, meet liars, pick a side, or play both sides against middle -- the choice is yours.
History
Sam Ballard started developing Wintercast in 2018 as a passion project on the side. It's based on a comic book he'd written many years earlier -- he whe was still excited by the story, and thought it would be even better as an RPG. Now that it's 2020, Wintercast is Sam's main priority: he's brought on a writer Georgia Iacovou to punch-up the dialogue, and development is going faster that it has ever been.
