Discover the Enigmatic World of Cabernet
On March 12, 2026, the narrative RPG 'Cabernet' will make its debut across retail stores in Japan, thanks to the collaboration between Singapore-based publisher Soft Source and indie developers Akupara Games and Party for Introverts. This highly anticipated game invites players into a dark yet captivating 19th-century Eastern European world intertwined with modern sensibilities.
A Unique Story Awaits
In 'Cabernet', players will step into the shoes of a young woman named Riza, who has just transformed into a vampire. The story is rich with moral dilemmas and supernatural phenomena, asking the players to navigate the thin line between maintaining their humanity and succumbing to the primal urges of vampirism. The choices you make throughout the game will shape Riza's fate, leading her either towards preserving her human spirit or plunging deeper into the darkness of her newfound existence.
Explore a Vampire's Social Circle
As Riza, players will have to plan their next 'feast' under the moon's glow, immersing themselves in the intricate social dynamics of vampires and the humans who serve them. You’ll encounter new allies willing to support you, while discerning which individuals simply wish to drain you dry.
A Battle for the Soul
The transformation into a vampire isn't merely a physical change; it seeps into the very essence of one's being. Players must grapple with the choice of upholding empathy and compassion or embracing a new nihilistic worldview. Each decision will intricately weave itself into the unfolding narrative.
Outwit Your Next Prey
To lure your next target to a safe, secluded place, you must understand their personality and desires. From a benevolent but alcohol-dependent coachman to a newlywed couple on the brink of disaster, and an overly friendly yet greedy prospector, the lives of these characters are in your hands. You possess the power to either save them or lead them into ruin.
Knowledge is Power
Art, literature, history, and science—these are skills that could be your key to success. In a world where cunning individuals siphon life from the violently ambitious, your intellect becomes your strongest weapon. Players will be pushed to use their knowledge strategically as they navigate a complex landscape filled with temptation and the hunt of the night.
