Damsel is set in a dark cartoon universe where vampires and humans live in a fairly unstable co-existence. The vampires in the game all work for the multinational company which manufactures the drink Red Mist, the number one selling vampire drink on the planet. Red Mist is a blood analogue that satiates the vampire thirst without a need for human donors.
Prompted by a tip-off that the makers of Red Mist may have a “secret menu” containing drinks with real human blood destined for the highest bidders, Damsel, an agent for the Department of Sanguinarian Affairs (DSA) is called in to investigate, and if required, put a stop to any illegal activity.
Aided by her handler and friend, Swan, Damsel uncovers a lot more than just the packaging of some human blood. By the end of her adventure she will have caused plenty of distress for the makers of Red Mist and the vampire elite that demands it’s manufacture.
Armed with her UV Shotgun, Agent Damsel must ensure that the vampire world is kept in line after reports they are trying to bring back a classic ingredient, human blood, harvested from unsuspecting victims all around the globe.
While you can play slowly (most of the time), Damsel is best experienced fast, keeping those combos alive and getting the big points with speed, accuracy, quick thinking, and acrobatic prowess. The leaderboards will be competitive, but the satisfaction of reaching the top will be worth it.
The game will launch with the first two episodes of Damsel’s adventure, including 50 action packed missions and a comic book story that sees Special Agent Damsel investigate the Red Mist Beverage Corporation. The word on the street is that Red Mist is creating a “secret menu” drink containing real human blood. Spoiler: They are!
“We’ve been creating Damsel for nearly four years, it has been wonderful to see the game evolve with new ideas and refining the game’s identity“ said Megan Summers, Producer and Quality Assurance Lead, Screwtape Studios. “Players have been enjoying Damsel during the Early Access process so we are super excited to finally be releasing it”
