Disclamer 

this isnt a finish game, its pretty hard developing a game with a story alone without some fresh eyes to criteque it.  the famicase design isnt mine, its the prompt i used for the game-jam this game was made for.

Plot

Darkness has fallen, An eternal night. The supernatural emerge from the shadows.

As body's start to be found in the depths of alleyways and back streets, 
Dracula, vampire Lord and commander of the army of chaos, infiltrates society.
Tasting the blood of those who wander to far from the light, turning them into vampires.
Vegas with all its neonlights becomes a beacon of life for the human population, 
providing a sense of security to all those who now live there.
Months pass and more and more people are becoming vampires. 
The government, or what's left of it, 
issues mandatory weekly blood donations in order to try quench the thirst of those vampires that are still as civil as normal humans. 
Our protagonist and playable character,

telecommunications up, and broadcasts the radio order to communicate with the rest of the world;
from local news studio is delivered some really bad news;
his daughter was drained by a vampire. 
Devastated by the sudden and tragic loss of his daughter,
he vows to get revenge on Dracula and try bring light back to the void of darkness beyond the neon lights. 
A local group of scientists are studying a vampire, 
one of their co-workers who was previously bitten by a vampire acts as both a test subject and scientist. 
Our player character comes across this groop,

as well as get revenge on the rogue vampires doing the drainings.
