Greetings, Ravens!
Excited news today! As you just saw in the title of this blog post, we’re announcing the last hero joining the Ravenswatch in version 1.0: Carmilla!
You may wonder who she is, so take a look at our video presentation of this enigmatic dhampir:
NOTE: Work in progress visual and audio feedback, general HUD/UI, and specific to Carmilla
Congratulations to those who guessed we were making a Vampire character or even Carmilla (you were not many!)
You all know the very famous figure of Count Dracula from Bram Stoker's novel. Our version of Carmilla is inspired by the Irish short story from Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. The Gothic novella predates Dracula and was one of the first vampire fiction released in 1872.

Separated from the love of her eternal life in the war against darkness, Carmilla now fights to extinguish those she holds responsible for destroying her happily ever after. She is a dhampir, a day-walking vampire, drinking blood to strengthen her powers while taking care to control the monster within. Carmilla is physically fast and ferocious - her wit also has fangs.
In Ravenswatch, Carmilla is described as a bewitching woman, torn between humanity and vampire savagery. She embodies the vampire fantasy and she can build up unnaturally strong abilities with BLOOD.
Carmilla’s gameplay is unique and oriented towards resource and risk management. Some ABILITIES generate BLOOD that can be used to fuel other ABILITIES. But keep track of how much blood you possess as using BLOOD when you don't have any will consume HEALTH instead.
She’s a tricky character that you’ll have to get used to, particularly her blood management mechanic. But once you get the hang of it, she’s ruthless!
We hope you enjoyed this short presentation of Carmilla, the next hero to join the Ravenswatch!
Carmilla will be available to play in version 1.0, and we cannot wait to see you try this new hero!
Stay tuned because we’ll soon have more information to share about the full release of Ravenswatch. Perhaps even in a few days at Gamescom for the 2024 Future Games Show… 🤭
