This game looks absolutely fascinating. Here’s hoping it’s good. Anyway, official demo details and trailer are below
Pencils up, stakes out! The first online demo for Humble Games and Exit 73 Studios’ zany animated dungeon crawler #BLUD is now available as part of Steam Next Fest, which runs today through February 12.
Players can sink their teeth into the hyperkinetic 90s cartoon action of #BLUD now by visiting the game’s official Steam page here.
In #BLUD, slaying the undead is just another day at high school for Becky Brewster, the new kid in town and the latest in an ancient bloodline of spellcasting vampire hunters. Root out demonic infestations through the town’s buzzing social media, and take selfies with demonic forces to analyze their weaknesses. Power up your trusty fiend-thwacking field hockey stick, and level up your latent magic skills through grimoires and school supplies. Master the slaying game with the help of an eclectic cast of hilarious characters, and teach the vampires a thing or two about messing with Carpentersville High!
