Are You Really a Vampire???
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
ABOUT
In search of inspiration for your next novel, you—a writer—arrive at Neverhill Village, far removed from the modern world and steeped in ancient traditions. With the help of an old acquaintance, you settle in, hoping to uncover the secrets behind the legends of vampires.
But something feels off in Neverhill. The villagers avoid discussing the very thing you came for, treating the topic of vampires like a forbidden subject.
In the depths of an old, abandoned mansion, you meet a vampire
...a not-so-vampire-like one.
He doesn’t drink blood.
He walks in daylight.
And… he’s far too innocent, even adorable.
Wait—Are you really a vampire???
As you’re drawn into the strange charm of this vampire, buried mysteries from the village’s dark history begin to surface. A tragedy 15 years ago looms over everything, and you can’t help but question: What’s the truth behind Neverhill?
And more importantly... Can you trust this vampire?
Discover the unsettling truth in

ENDINGS HINT
In case you need a little guidance, here’s a hint for each ending:
- First and Second Endings : These should be straightforward! Just decide whether to run away or confront the truth.
- Third Ending : This one’s a bit trickier. I’ve left hints within the game, but here’s the key: They lied about it being the only way.
You simply need to wait while listening to John Cage’s 4'33”. (Yep, that’s it! Take a moment to wander around and appreciate the ambient sounds, or if you prefer, you can just dig up the code.)
- I highly recommend aiming to unlock all three endings! Who knows what’s waiting for you. >v<
CREATOR’S TALK
Hi there, it’s Plennty! Thank you for discovering my little game, Are You Really a Vampire??? (or R U VAMP for short). This game was created for Spooktober 2024, and it’s a labor of love crafted entirely by me, with invaluable support from my family and friends.
While this game might not be perfect, I’ve poured my heart into it. Learning my way around Ren'Py has been both a challenge and a joy, despite the headaches along the way...
Zephyr marks my very first completed visual novel, and I’m incredibly excited to share it with you all. I hope you love him as much as I do!
Yours truly,
Plennty

Omg, omg! Thank you so much for playing! ･:*+.(( °ω° ))/.:+ I absolutely love your video. It was amazing, and I enjoyed every minute of it! I’m especially grateful that you took the time to research 4’33” and put so much effort into explaining it. Tysm for that! ♡
Your kind words truly mean the world to me. Thank you again, and I hope you have a lovely day! ╰(´︶`)╯♡
Thank YOU so much for making such a wonderful story and for watching my video!! I love learning new things especially about music♫ I hope you have an equally lovely day!!
Hey this game is absolutely amazing! the art and music really hit it with the writing. I would like to say though that I was kinda uncomfy with the relationship with Zephyr(this is a me opinion but I wanted to bring it up). I do understand that he is 26(?) but he really feels like hes written to be very much like a child(the Mc comments it at the start) this made me feel really weird mainly because a little later there's an option to say your falling for him and I was assuming that the Mc was an Adult. Overall though I felt that this was a really well made game and I can't wait to see what else you put out in the future!
Thank you so much for playing! ╰(´︶`)╯♡ I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
Yes, if counting by the years he’s lived, Zephyr is around 26–27 years old. Due to his sheltered upbringing and lack of life experience outside the mansion, his personality is written as naive and a bit pampered. About mc, I originally wrote the mc with the assumption that they were around the same age as Zephyr, though I might should’ve made that clearer at the start. While the mc did compare his behavior to a child’s, they didn’t view him as one in terms of their romantic feelings that developed later on. That said, I understand where you’re coming from, and I’m really sorry if this made you uncomfortable.
The story was a bit rushed due to time constraints, and I might not have thought it through enough, so I truly value your respectful feedback. I’ll keep this in mind for future projects. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, it really means a lot to me!
I hope you have a wonderful day! ♡

Ahh, tysm for playing!! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o And you even got all the endings! I’m so glad the game had such an impact. I'm very sorry, but thank you so much for sacrificing your sleep schedule o(TヘTo). Your words mean the world to me! Thx again for loving our Zeph—he’s my pride and joy!
Please have a lovely day, and Zephyr also wishes you a very good night! (∩^o^)⊃━♡
I love your game so much! Every character seems well-written and the story is quite captivating. I especially liked Zephyr and he reminds me of artist Kim Sunoo in Drunk-Dazed music video haha. Wish you good luck in new games (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)
Thank you so much for playing! ╰(´︶`)╯♡
I’m really glad you liked our Zeph! I just checked out the Drunk-Dazed MV, and wow, it’s absolutely amazing! I especially like the dance. And oh gosh, Kim Sunoo is so cute!! (๑>◡<๑) I see it now—they really do resemble each other. Thank you for recommending such a wonderful thing to me!
I hope you have a lovely day! ＼(^ω^)／
This game was a great ride! I usually don't go towards vampire themed things but i was so glad i did it with this one! The writing was great and i loved to see all the 3 ending here! (even tho it took lil time to figure out the last one haha!) I loved all the visuals and it really created an awesome atmosphere with the story, such a great work! Especially done only by yourself! I hope you patted yourself on the back when you were done!
Also, i think that the volume bar doesn't work here! I tried to use it multiple times but i didn't get it to work! Not sure if it was just my download problem or not, but wanted to tell it just in case!! :3
Thank you so much for playing! ヾ(≧へ≦)〃 I'm so happy you enjoyed all the endings, and I really appreciate your kind words!
You're absolutely right about the sounds. I did separate them into a different channel to prevent overlap with the typing sound. I'll look into fixing that as soon as I have time. I'm really sorry about the issue, and I truly appreciate you pointing it out!
Have a wonderful day! ~\(≧▽≦)/~
nothing to worry about! The issue was only little and it didn't bother me with the gameplay so you are totally okay, no worries! >:)
tysm!! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)
This game was genuinely so amazing!! I really enjoyed it and got all 3 endings after realizing the 4'33'' reference, it was so engaging and exciting to discover the last ending! The art and writing were so amazing too and I loved the characters and the twists. Thank you for making it, I can tell you worked really hard!
Thank you so much for playing! q(≧▽≦q)
I really appreciate the effort you put into getting all the endings! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed playing my little game. Your kind words made my day! Thank you again, and I wish you a very lovely day!
I loved this game a lot!! The writing, the art, and the music were all wonderful!~ I was surprised of the ending that I got. I was like, "What! It can't just end there!" It is such a good spooky mystery thriller that is especially cozy for fall. I cannot wait to see more of your work. I too would like some In-Stand Noodar's. ♡
Thank you so much for playing! ヾ(^▽^*)))
I'm really happy to hear that you enjoyed my little game! If you have time, I definitely recommend trying to unlock all three endings—there's a cute surprise waiting for you!~
Your kind words have truly made my day, and I can’t stop smiling right now! Wishing you a wonderful day, and of course, your exclusive In-Stand Noodar is on its way! ♡☆: .｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:
I played it again! I got another ending and that one was quite enjoyable as well! For some reason I cannot reach the third ending. I've tried changing my choices, but I get either the first or second ending. I do want to play it again though to get the third ending! I can tell that you put a lot of love into this project ^^
OMG! Thank you so much for playing it again, and I’m so happy you enjoyed the second ending too! (^▽^)
I totally understand the third ending can be tricky—it’s a bit of a hidden secret! When you get to the last choice (whether or not to use the stake), stay on that screen without clicking anything for about 4 minutes and 33 seconds. I was inspired by John Cage’s 4'33"—though, truth be told, it's a few extra seconds longer. You can step away for a while until the music stops.
Some of my friends said it was too hard to figure out, so I really appreciate that you're determined to get all three endings! ♡ Feel free to reach out if you have any issues, and thanks again for all your support!
I figured it was something like that! I just doubted myself (,,>﹏<,,). I finished the entire game though!
Honestly, this was excellent! The story definitely kept me on my toes! This is probably the best visual novel I have ever played! Everything was perfect and the endings were so nice! I think that the puzzle for the third ending was the right amount of difficulty. Thank you for making this! (˶◜ᵕ◝˶)
Your words mean the world to me! (≧▽≦)
Thank you again for playing and for your kind words! It truly means a lot! ♡
