The Story Behind Countdown Vampires

Sea Rim City Police Homicide Detective Keith J. Snyder had a problem which involved his previous partner, Wesley Simmons, so he was assigned, as a disciplinary measure, to be a bodyguard for several VIPs who were key to the inauguration of a new horror-themed casino, the Desert Moon. The problems begin when a fire breaks out and a mysterious black liquid starts to pour out of the fire sprinklers, turning the vast majority of the people into vampires that proceed to devour the remaining survivors.

Now Keith must find his way out of the casino and also try save as many people as he can. is a 1999 survival horror game developed by K.2.C. and published by Bandai for the PlayStation

How Countdown Vampires Plays

As the game advances, more and more creatures appear (whose origins are not that well explained until late in the game), such as giant vampire bats, werewolf-like creatures, giant humanoid mantis-like insects, giant frog mutants (which are similar to the hunters from the first Resident Evil), and purple blobs. Game characters appear as enemies, such as Mira, Sheck, and The Man in Black. A minigame called "Prince of Darkness" is unlocked by typing "Prince Darkness" in the New Game option of the second disc.

It is also possible to reload in real-time before emptying a gun. It is also notable that there are minigames available in the first part of the game (set in a casino), like roulette and slot machines; the money won in these games can be used to buy food and drinks, the in-game recovery items. This encourages the player to use a wide variety of fighting techniques if they want to "save" the enemies.
