Gothic Heroine

I need the dark academia, and academia community in general to stop sleeping on the game “Vampyr”. Like PLEASE—

That shit is as dark academia as it can get. A very engaging detective story that plays out during industrial London, where you get to take on the role of a doctor named Jonathan Reid. He comes back from the Great War, but gets bitten and returns to life as a vampire, after which it is a tug of war between his morals and his endless hunger. A wide arrange of characters in this game will provide both drama and food, if you choose to go down that path and embrace someone, but truly, no character in Vampyr is a saint.

That’s where the true gothic element comes in. The design of the game is also very gothic of course, since it is London during the Edwardian era, but the way you can barely fully root for someone because of the skeletons you find in their closet the deeper you dig, is my favourite part of the writing.

I also love how the topics of secret societies, occult and supernatural creatures mix in with real issues and movements that existed at the time, like the suffragettes, the workers rights unions, and then the racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia and so on.

If you love dark academia and visual storytelling you HAVE GOT to get in on this. From my personal experience, it’s a very engaging game that ticks pretty much every box in the aesthetic genre.

Old philosopher: sooo yeah, that’s what I’m trying to say!

Me: wait wait wait…you’re only now making your point?

Philosopher: what?

Me: I’ve been reading your meditations for 13 pages and you’re only NOW making a point?

Philosopher: well yeah, I had to make it clear—

Me: it was anything but clear

Philosopher: and bring forth examples that support my—

Me: those were the most vague examples ever

Philosopher:

Me: my man, you could have summarised it in one paragraph
