Vampyr is a single player role-playing video game set in 1918 London. Playing as the newly turned vampire Dr Jonathan Reid, you must navigate through the nights of the plague infested London; fighting vampire hunters and the rabid, undead creatures called Skals, as well as healing the sick inhabitants of thetown.
Your power is directly tied to how many citizens you choose to 'embrace'. (Kill and drink their blood)

Skills[]
Using XP points, you can choose to develop a variety of supernatural skills to aid you along the way. XP Levels can be gained passively, or through the blood of rats in small amounts, however it is much easier to instead embrace a citizen for a large XP boost.
Each citizens XP boost is tied directly to their wellbeing, which, you as a doctor, can alter. Sick citizens should be healed first with medicine in order to gain the most effective boost.
