From the looks of things, you’re not merely running a bar that serves vampires. You’re also running one that serves humans, which you then use as food for your vampiric patrons. I’m going to point out (and did in the headline) that this is part of a growing number of games about running a restaurant where you murder the customers. It joins Godlike Burger and Ravenous Devils at a cursory glance. Delicious.

What I haven’t seen is a great cannibal business sim. Do vampires count as cannibals? They’re not, like, another species, right? Anyway, Blood Bar Tycoon looks 𒁃pretty great. You have to lure and capture humans, and then you can squeeze out their juices and turn them into a variety of beverages. You have to keep up the appeꦜarance of a legitimate business, or hunters will arrive to burn your bar down. You also have to deal with Elder Vampires who seem to have their own demands based on their personality.

For that matter, I haven’t really seen a good restaurant simulator in yonks. The last one I remember really trying was Recipe for Disaster, which didn’t turn out well, supposedly because of and difficulties in early access. I’ve thought about playing , because it’s based on a great series, but people have told me it isn’t very good. I know I should form my own opinions on these things, as I have liked games that weren’t very popular, 🔯but I have so much to play these day🐻s that taking risks isn’t always desirable.

It might even be a while before I get to Blood Bar Tycoon. I absolutely understand why a horror-themed game would want to come out near Hallowe’en, 🌸but that’s when most of these types of games come out. I’d p🍌lay everything if I could, but I’ll have to see where my priorities are when that time comes.

Blood Bar Tycoon releases on PC 🌼oꦡn October 28, 2024. There is a beta/demo available to try out right now.
