“I’m already yours. To the ends of the Earth, and whatever’s beyond. Hell and back." Jonathan Harker's here to save the day! ☀️ Guest art by @chippychime.bsky.social
Art of renfield and Jonathan harker from draculesti. Renfield stands in front with a concerned expression. Jonny stands behind him, one hand on renfields side, the other entangled with one of renfields and pressed to renfields chest, while he stares forward with steely determination. Jonnys car is in the middle ground with flashing headlights, and the back features a castles turrets and a full moon

Greetings mortals, We have an important update regarding our Early Access Release. Please find it below 🦇
Hello Mortals,

Recently, we announced via our newsletter and Kickstarter campaign page delays to Drăculești’s upcoming Early Access release. As several of our team have been out sick this month (including our socials manager), we failed to relay this on our socials pages! We’re sharing this information here now to ensure it’s been covered everywhere.

While we had originally intended to release in Early Access this March, we ran into a few major development obstacles that will be delaying our release. Rather than risk a further date slip, we’ll be waiting until we’re fully confident to announce a new planned release date – however, we are still aiming to release in the first half of 2026.

As a reminder, the Early Access release will contain Dracula and the Ghost’s storylines, which total to around 400,000 words. Polishing that much material is quite an undertaking, and we underestimated how long it’d take to wrap it all up – as well as having some other challenges to manage.

Thank you for your patience and understanding, and we look forward to letting you know as soon as we schedule a new release date.

- The Fiends

Happy New Year! Cez is thrilled to welcome Renfield, and everyone else, to 2026. Surely there's no finer fiend to celebrate with? 💋 Thanks to @saproartist.bsky.social for our January guest art!

🤎 Drăculești Character Spotlight 🤎 Nicoleta Popescu is the other human in the castle, but that doesn't mean she's your ally. Decades of working for the vampires have numbed her to the horror of what they're doing. Besides, she's... unusually friendly with Teodora.

🤍 Drăculești Character Spotlight 🤍 Ileana was a peasant revolutionary, taken from the cornfields into Dracula's arms. She never wanted to be a vampire, or a princess, let alone a vampire princess. But here she is: his third and final Bride. Will you befriend her, or become another of her enemies?
