Keen on checking out Party for Introverts’ upcoming vampire RPG Cabernet? You won’t have to wait very long, as the developer has announced that the game will be receiving a playable demo during Steam’s Visual Novel Fest from August 7th to 14th. The demo will show off the game’s first chapter, setting up the story and letting players make the first of many choices in Cabernet. And speaking of the story, the team has released a new trailer that focuses on the narrative.
Cabernet follows the story of Liza, a fledgling vampire struggling between retaining their mortality and descending further into the horror they have become. Liza will have to balance her newfound vampiric abilities to survive while also avoid being consumed by them.
“Creating emotion-driven stories is our passion, so we couldn’t be more thrilled to publicly share the Cabernet demo for the first time during Steam’s Visual Novel Fest,” said Arseniy Klishin and Laura Gray
of Party for Introverts. “We can’t wait for players to sink their teeth into our tale and all of the other incredible works of interactive fiction showcased at the Fest.”
Cabernet is currently in development on Steam, with a launch planned in early 2024.

‘DreadOut Remastered Collection’ Announced for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, Coming Later This Year [Trailer]
While it’s not a sequel to DreadOut 2 that some fans were hoping for, developer Digital Happiness and Singapore-based publisher Soft Source Publishing have announced the next best thing with DreadOut Remastered Collection, which is set to head to the PlayStation 5 and the Nintendo Switch later this year. This remaster will include the original DreadOut, and the standalone game DreadOut: Keepers of the Dark. Details on just what the remaster includes have yet to be revealed.
“Having worked on bringing DreadOut 2 to consoles, the team at Soft Source Publishing were enthralled by the idea when Pak Rachmad CEO of Digital Happiness threw out the idea of bringing back DreadOut and DreadOut: Keepers of the Dark to consoles,” says Soft Source Publishing director Sameer Pandit in a press release (thanks, Gematsu!). “It’s an immediate thought that we want to be a part of this new project. DreadOut is an iconic IP in Asia and has been spreading its wings in the rest of the world with the release of DreadOut 2 on consoles.”
For those who don’t know, DreadOut (which you can find on Steam) is a third-person supernatural horror game that was released back in 2014 where you play as Linda, a high school student. When the group of high school students Linda was a part of became lost while on a field trip, they stumble across an abandoned town. However, the town holds a dark secret that has left Linda fighting to get out of the town. Using a similar mechanic to Fatal Frame, Linda is equipped with a smart-phone and an SLR camera, which she will use to battle against the horrors in the town and solve puzzles.
Meanwhile, DreadOut: Keepers of the Dark is a “missing chapter” from the original game, where you will help Linda face off against more ghosts and challenges in The Mirror Realm: a portal of worlds that connects it to eight haunted dominions where horrific ghosts are ready to greet her in the most terrifying way possible.
