In this episode we go over the origins and appeal of vampires in video games. We begin by looking at ancient beliefs, folklore, and mythology of vampires in order to describe where they originate. We then examine their modern depictions to explore how they have changed over time. Additionally, we analyze vampires' powers/weaknesses across media, and give some examples in popular video games. Stay tuned next week for episode 14 where we deep-dive into the board game Root.
