Akupara Games and Party for Introverts invite you to step into the shadowy allure of 19th-century Europe with their upcoming 2D narrative RPG, Cabernet. Mark your calendars as this captivating journey becomes available on February 20th for Windows PC, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation consoles. Preorders are open, and PC gamers can immerse themselves early with a demo that seamlessly saves progress for the full release.
Cabernet weaves a story rich in mystery and moral complexity. Enter a dark, beautifully crafted world where you guide Liza, a newly turned vampire torn between her lingering humanity and the all-consuming supernatural realm. As you navigate this intricate web of political power plays, class struggles, and decadent corruption, your choices will determine whether Liza clings to her humanity or fully embraces her vampiric nature.
In Cabernet, the night is your ally. Plan your nocturnal exploits under the silver light of the moon, mingling with both vampires and their human prey. Discover who will support your new life and who merely exists to serve as your next meal.
The game challenges you to confront the transformation of not just your body but your mind. Will you nurture the dwindling spark of empathy within you, or succumb to the cynical nihilism that comes with eternal life? It’s a dance of seduction and strategy, as you discern the vulnerabilities and desires of those around you. Whether it’s a kind-hearted yet flawed coachman, a young couple caught in matrimonial discord, or a charming con artist, their destinies lie in your hands to alter or uphold.
Success in Cabernet requires more than just bloodlust; it calls for cultured finesse. Art, literature, history, and science are your tools in a world where intellect and cunning triumph over brute force. With these skills, navigate the twisted machinations of vampiric society and uncover the hidden truths lurking in the shadows of this enchanting, yet perilous, world.
Prepare for an adventure where every choice shapes Liza’s journey, in a game where the line between humanity and monstrosity blurs under the eternal glow of the moon.
