About
Summary
Poor Santiago was hit by the latest wave of tech industry redundancies and he’s desperate for a stream of income; it’s too bad that the blood plasma donation center nearby is indefinitely closed. A stranger passing by offers him some company for the evening, and much, much more not too long after…
Description
Blood & Play is a gay, safe for work, T4T visual novel about the intersection between debt, disability, & transgender healthcare that can be a romantic-comedy or a macabre psychological horror story depending on how you guide Santiago to interpret an offer that’s hard to ignore.
History
Blood & Play was conceptualized in December 2023 for Queer Vampire Game Jam, with a partial Early Access demo released by the end of it. The team largely consists of marginalized developers from various ethnic, transgender and queer, neurodivergent, and/or physically disabled communities.
Please note that the game is in Early Access and still being developed, so screenshots are subject to change.
