Hong Kong, 1956.
You came here bright and joyful, following your husband from Scotland to his post on Hong Kong island.
Months later, you are bloodied, cold, starving, lost in Kowloon. Missing posters bearing your face fray at the edges and you don’t recognise yourself anymore.
When you smell blood - a potential meal - you find a local on the verge of death. After feeding on his attackers, you’re offered a job.
Survive as a young, lost vampire in Kowloon and navigate its dark depths, but beware; you're not the only thing that lurks within them.
UNDYING: Kowloon in Red is a visual novel/RPG hybrid where you grow as a vampire, using skills and vampiric abilities to overcome challenges and survive.
You must feed on blood to survive, and your growing hunger affects your skills and unlocks abilities. Plan your feedings wisely; even well-timed starvation has its uses.
Each night brings new quests, opportunities and unfolding stories. Meet its challenges and grow in strength; or fail, explore alternate solutions, and try anew.
The people of Hong Kong are not unaware; take care to balance their growing suspicion and your overwhelming thirst.
As a vampire, you walk between the human and supernatural worlds; you are called to investigate rumours and help jiugwaai pass on.
Many hands reach for Hong Kong; triads, the colonial government, the exiled Nationalists, local Communists, suspicious American operatives, and those that remain in the shadows... Ally yourself with whoever you wish, and even pursue romance; but know this will have consequences.
The man you saved; the man who saved you.
Officially an innocent cha chaan teng owner; in reality, the manager of a gambling house and a loanshark.
Jin-kwan’s right-hand woman, in charge of the workers of the gambling den.
You scare her in more ways than one; she always feared the gweilo, but you are the first real demon she’s met.
You are your countryman's only link to a home he will die before ever seeing again.
In time, you may become the salvation he's prayed for; but is that a burden you wish to bear?
