Kickstarter-based adult-only vampire MMO Shadow’s Kiss gears up for early access

If you’ve been searching for the darkest hickeys and the darkest late-night walks in your MMORPG adventures, kiss of the shadow would like to lay his charms entirely on you. Wait, did we say “charms”? Perhaps “damage” would be more appropriate.

The adult-only vampire MMO was launched and directed in December 2017 in early access back on January 7, 2022, with players being charged $25 to access it via Steam. Developer Clockwork Throne describes the game as “a modern gothic vampire online RPG with turn-based combat, intrigue, horror and mature themes”.

Players take on the role of a new vampire finding their way in a run-down town. The title offers features like offline skill training, four archetypes, seduction, necromancy, and “no need for Jedi-like reflexes to be a terrifying vampire.” Just in case that was a fear.

You might want to back off on this one, though, considering almost all player reviews on Steam are incredibly negative. Testers note that too much of the game is broken or not working, with one saying it’s more of a “concept” than a playable product.

“You know how some people like to eat cookie dough instead of waiting for the actual cookies? Good kiss of the shadow decides that you eat all the ingredients individually while they’re still in the wrapper,” wrote one player (who also provided the following video as evidence).
