Underworld, Twilight and Wanted all fused together into a high-glam adventure romance game is exactly what you get with D3 Publisher’s upcoming PS Vita release, Vamwolf Cross.

According to Senpai Gamer, the new title will see gamers embroiled in a conflict involving vampires who are also werewolves – yes, they not only scratch and claw but they also suck blood – hence the name Vamwolf.

According to the YouTube description for outlet ArnotS2 they describe the story as follows…

“After the protagonist’s father becomes the latest victim in a series of exsanguinations, she finds a diary and a gun that belonged to him. The diary reveals that the apartment building houses vamwolf hunters, of which her father was one, and that he suspected one of them was a traitor. She must figure out who killed her father, and whether one of the hunters is indeed a turncoat.”

In between discovering what happened to her father and who is actually the vamwolf, she manages to develop feelings and budding romances with some of the hunters. You can see the intro to the game with the trailer below.

Vamwolf Cross† – Opening Video Trailer [720p] – PS Vita [JPN] D3 Publisher has released a opening movie of “Vampire” × “Werewolf”, “Vamwolf Cross †” After the protagonist’s father becomes the latest victim in a series of exsanguinations, she finds a diary and a gun that belonged to him.

This is probably one of the most odd and yet cliché archs I’ve ever come across. The whole vamwolf angle seems to be an evolution on some ideas teased but never explored in the Underworld movies. The investigation into the hunters while the romance begins to blossom is just typical romance fanfare that most ardent connoisseurs of romance fiction probably saw coming a mile away but will likely be entertained by the prospect of being wooed by guys who are prettier than the female contestants on America’s Next Top Model.

These kind of games are quite popular in Japan; it travels that fine line between adventure mystery and visual novel romance. The cross-genre appeal could likely see it being adopted just as much by female gamers as male gamers.

The commenters on the YouTube page are already excited for the game. I could also see this gaining a decent audience over here in America, especially with a release on Steam, which seems to be growing in popularity with the niche demographic who absolutely adores visual novels.

Vamwolf Cross is due to release at the end of July in Japan for the PlayStation Vita. No word yet on if there will be a North American port, but with a enough port-begging and calmly tweeted pokes at D3 Publisher they just might consider it.
