Cabernet

About

Cabernet is a 2D narrative RPG set in 19th century Eastern Europe where you play Liza, a young vampire torn between her humanity and her new monstrous instincts. The game unfolds through dialogue choices and moral dilemmas, with your decisions shaping her relationships and the world around her. As you navigate aristocratic soirees and shadowy alleys, you balance the thirst for blood with the need to maintain a human facade. Each interaction carries weight, pushing you toward alliances or isolation as the story branches in unpredictable directions. The game leans into its gothic setting with sharp writing and a focus on internal conflict. Its strength lies in the tension between Liza’s vulnerability and the corruption of the society she inhabits. With no clear right answers, the story forces you to confront the cost of survival in a world where morality is as fragile as a wine glass. The 2D visuals and atmospheric sound design amplify the sense of unease, making every choice feel like a step deeper into a nightmare you helped create.
