Enthralled

Made in under 36 hours as part of Devs That Jam36 #17

WARNING: This game contains mild blood imagery.

After falling unconscious while exploring a seemingly abandoned crypt, you awaken with cold, cold skin and a strange hunger for blood. You need to find a way to escape the crypt and find a healer before your hunger drives you to drink from a living creature, turning you from a thrall to a fully-fledged vampire. But with a constantly bleeding mortal wound and limited vials of blood to restore yourself as you navigate the maze of dungeons and traps, there is a timer on your life, with a deadly countdown. And a bloody price to pay.

In Enthralled, play as Hugh, the recently turned vampire thrall, as you navigate a maze of crypts and dungeons, riddled with traps and dangers laid out by the ones who trapped you here. Fight against a bloody countdown and try to escape and find a healer before you die from blood loss or turn into a full vampire. 
But some things you can't avoid, and what's waiting for you outside isn't quite what you expect.

Key Features

Race against time and death in this fast-paced dungeon-crawler and platformer!
