SYNOPSIS

Resimpulse is an immersive 2D adventure game that combines thrilling RPG-like elements with a gripping narrative.
 

Players step into the shoes of Dracula, once a legendary vampire, who finds himself in a fictionalized Kingston neighbourhood. As Dracula, the main objective is to prepare for an epic battle against a formidable adversary, the Hunter Werewolf.

​

However, blending into the community becomes crucial as Dracula must navigate the intricacies of the neighbourhood, interact with its diverse inhabitants, and unravel their stories to gather essential resources and knowledge.

​

With time running out, players must strategically plan their actions, form alliances, and harness Dracula's supernatural abilities to overcome challenges, uncover secrets, and ultimately stand a chance against the impending confrontation with the Hunter Werewolf.

​

Resimpulse offers an engaging gameplay experience, combining immersive storytelling, strategic decision-making, and pulse-pounding action, ensuring an unforgettable adventure in the world of supernatural creatures and a race against time.

ANALYSIS

As the emphasis us on actions and consequences, the focus is on the different scenarios the protagonist (and the player) will face by choosing a choice which makes most sense in a certain encounter.
This is visually indicated through the wounds on Dracula disappearing if the player chooses to rejuvenate by killing the wounded person.
