Trailer for IWATV 0.7.5
I Was a Teenage Vampire is a narrative-driven adult visual novel, paying homage to the sex comedies, horror flicks, and dramas of the late '80s. Think The Lost Boys meets Fast Times at Ridgemont High, with a dash of Risky Business and a whole lot of VHS grit.
The story follows a group of misfits navigating their final weeks of class in the sleepy town of Silver Lake, 1989. You play as a broke teenager trying to scrape together enough cash for a car, juggling odd jobs, dodging bullies, chasing girls, and, oh yeah... unraveling a supernatural mystery thatβs been lurking just beneath the surface of your hometown.
Strange dreams. Missing students. Blood on the pavement. The authorities claim thereβs a serial killer on the loose, but the evidence doesnβt add up. As your visions grow more vivid, you start to suspect the truth is something far olderβ¦ and far more dangerous. Something is feeding in Silver Lake, and itβs not done yet.
Youβll explore branching storylines, visit locations around town, and meet friends, rivals, and more than a few seductive strangers along the way. Romance isnβt just a side quest, itβs the heart of your story. Whether itβs the childhood friend who pushes you to be better, the punk runaway hiding her pain behind sarcasm, or the spoiled rich girl pulling you deeper into her web, each relationship unfolds uniquely. Your choices determine who you get close toβ¦ and who you might just fall in love with.
The game features a male protagonist. Build relationships through your actions, romance one girl, multiple girls, or no one at all. Every decision shapes how your summer, and your humanity, ends.
Whether you're here for the laughs, the love, or the lurking horror, this is a story about youth, desire, and the monsters we all carry.
