About this game
Draculesti is a villain-focused reimagining of the classic novel Dracula that shines a light on the shadowy figures of Renfield, Dracula's Brides, and Dracula himself. Be enthralled by the residents of Castle Dracula, and thrill at a dark narrative with strong LGBTQI+ themes.
Take control of Roger M Renfield; a lawyer on the brink. Will your Renfield collapse into a nervous wreck, or hold strong in the face of danger? Will he risk it all for love or save only his own skin?
Each one enjoys their own dedicated, multi-hour storyline, exploring their unique approaches to rescuing Renfield from his predicament. The same relationship can unfold in different ways based on your choices.
The grim lord of the castle, a centuries-old vampire. With a silver tongue and an iron grip, he dominates everything around him. Is there anything gentle left within this terrible monster?
If you want to find out, get in Dracula's good graces before his move to England.
A mysterious spirit haunting the castle's halls. For reasons unknown, Dracula dismembered him and hid his body parts, keeping him from his eternal rest. What inspired the special spite these men have for each other?
Release the Ghost from his torment by finding the body parts Dracula took from him.
The second of Dracula's three Brides. Sick of how their husband treats them, they've wanted to see an attorney for a long, long time. Will they finally get their day in the sun?
Provide legal services to Cez as they divorce Dracula in the demonic court of law.
A partner at Hawkins & Harker law firm, former classmate and current boss of Renfield. After years of avoiding each other—and their mutual attraction—the pair are reunited. Can they address their feelings before they meet their doom?
Rekindle an old flame with Jonny, and burn Dracula's nocturnal empire to ashes.
The castle’s inhabitants won’t stand idly by as Renfield meddles in their affairs. Negotiate Renfield’s dynamic with unchosen love interests, Dracula’s Brides, and even the family’s butcher. Friends in one playthrough may be foes in another.

Romantic horror game Draculesti fully funded on Kickstarter, Steam demo out now
Vampires have never been hotter. I guess that's not true, considering they don't age and therefore have always looked this hot (or not, depending on your preferences), but you get what I mean. Upcoming romantic horror game Drăculești has been fully funded on Kickstarter, and it turns those vampire-loving dials up to 11. Self-published by developer Fine Feathered Fiends, the visual novel amps up the queer undertones of Bram Stoker's iconic epistolary tale for a steamy and sordid fantasy affair.

Drăculești - Now On Kickstarter (+ Demo Audio Update)
Welcome back to Castle Dracula.It's been a month since our Next Fest update, and we've used that time to improve some of the rougher scenes in Dracula and the Ghost's extended story segments. In particular, the audio for the General's appearances and the audio for the piano scene have been given a major overhaul. It's crucial that a musical talent like our Ghost be provided the best tools, and his old piano simply wasn't up to snuff! Perhaps it was all the bones Dracula left in it. How impolite.In addition to our audio update, we are excited to announce our Drăculești Kickstarter campaign, which is live until August 9th!This campaign will cover finishing costs for the game, as well as the cost of partial voice acting. We have announced the first two actors in our exciting cast - Ray Chase as Dracula and Erika Ishii as Cez - and there are plenty more to come over the following weeks.Back Us On KickstarterOur campaign page is over here, with plenty of tantalising rewards for backers. We hope you'll support us so we can finish the game to the best possible quality! And, if you're unable to back the campaign for whatever reason, sharing it widely is valuable to us too. Tell all the gays, Goths, and gay Goths you know about Drăculești!We'll likely have a few further QOL updates over the following weeks. In the meantime, we're sure the Ghost will play some lovely waiting music for you, now he's operating at the height of his power.Eternally yours,The FiendsRead full article on Community Announcements (mad macs)Patch NotesOfficial
