“What the fuck…” she says, and you sit up on the floor, watching the blackened sheets of skin slide off your arms, revealing fresh, bloody skin underneath, glistening with a thick, viscous fluid. The ruined, discarded sheds of skin start to shrivel up right before your eyes, coiling tight atop the carpet until it dissolves into nothing but ash.
“What the fuck are you?” Clear whispers.
You look up at her, licking your lips.
“I’m a vampire,” you say, and then you laugh. There’s no way to say it without sounding ridiculous.
In Blood Choke, you play as a reawakened vampire, with no memory of who you are or what you did to result in your entombment. Fumble your way through your first few days after waking up in a strange, overwhelming future– meet new friends and reunite with an old flame.
Navigate this new world and try to piece your past back together before it can catch up to you– and decide your future, before it’s too late.
Features:
Play as a genderlocked lesbian main character. This game focuses heavily on the main character’s gender, presentation, and sexuality.
Pursue one (or all..?) of three romance options: Clear Rivers,Hana Lee, and your former lover, Valentina.
Choices that will alter your relationships with the cast as well as the narrative moving forward. How do you want to approach the woman you barely remember? What future do you want for this new city you’ve found yourself in? How will you choose to handle the hunger?
Blood Choke is an 18+ dark romance horror game. It is intended for a mature audience. Be sure to check the content warning on the game page before reading.
Currently the prologue and first three chapters are available to play.
“The Aggressives is a documentary directed by Daniel Peddle and released in 2005. It took place in New York City and it started in 1997. The Aggressives follows the life of six queer people of colour: Marquise, Kisha, Chin, Rjai, Octavio and Trevon”
I was thinking and you know what would be cool? Valentina calling MC 'my sire' during a sex scene as a form of roleplaying where she plays the submissive role. Another thing that would be interesting is MC not allowing Valentina to bite her as a way of teasing and testing her restraint.
Valentina actually wouldn’t really be into roleplaying in that way, but Clear would. and all of them would (and have in-game lol) enjoy bite play(?)
Valentina is very reluctant to give over control, but that doesn’t necessarily equate to her always being dominant; she enjoys being bossed around to a certain extent. sometimes i find it hard to explain their preferences because none of these people have ever been to a therapist or know how to communicate 😅 so there are things that in a perfect world they might like, but unfortunately all 3 (and the mc) have their own hang-ups and issues around intimacy that limit their experience/desires. a lot of the intimate scenes that we’ll see in the book will be the mc and their partner/s figuring it all out.
Hi, I‘ve been thinking about a post you made a long time ago about “moral vampires” IE the vampires that drink animal/bad people/etc. blood to avoid harming people they deem innocent but I can’t seem to find it, did you possibly delete it or am I just mixing you up with someone else?
hi! i believe you’re thinking of this post i made over on my other blog? talking about vampires & misogyny & the way (white) thinness and hunger is used within the genre to signify that someone is “morally good.”
This is a month-long game jam that will run from January 10 - February 20th, 2025. The goal of this jam is to create more interactive fiction games about queer vampires, focusing both on queer relationships and queer experiences as told through a vampiric narrative.
Your project must focus on queer characters and vampires. Queer relationships, romantic or platonic, as well as other queer experiences, whether gay, lesbian, bisexual, ace, aro, trans and nonbinary - this is an inclusive jam.
You can write from a human or vampire perspective (or both!)
This jam will accept any medium, so long as the work is an Interactive Fiction.
This jam will accept adult content as well as games covering heavy & uncomfortable topics, but please be sure to properly list trigger warnings either in-game or on the game page.
Entries that promote any kind of bigotry will not be accepted.
Games should not include any AI generated content.
You can submit as many entries as you’d like.
There is no language requirement; we will accept games in any language.
You are allowed to start working on your project early! That’s why I’m announcing it now. This jam is unranked and it’s not a contest, this is just for fun.
Submissions open midnight, January 10th EST. They’ll close February 20th at 11:59pmEST.
Additional questions we got asked frequently last year, for clarification:
Do Visual Novels count?
Yes!
What is Interactive Fiction?
Personally, I find interactive fiction hard to define, and I’m not interested in policing it, so as long as it’s recognizably interactive fiction - ie, the game has a narrative focus primarily with text, and the player can interact (whether that be with direct choices, clicking through links, or allowing the player to choose how to move around and interact with the world/the game like in bitsy) then it counts.
Parsers, visual novels, choose-your-own-adventures are some of the popular examples of IF, but there are plenty that don’t fall within any category. Check out the IF tag on itch.io and you can see just how varied it is.
Does it have to be horror?
No, any genre is accepted!
LAST DAY FOR SUBMISSIONS!!!! Submissions close today, February 25th, at 11:59pm EST!
