It looks like *Vampire Survivors*, but it plays like *Starnaut*.
Three iconic stages from *Vampire Survivors*—“Mad Forest,” “Inlaid Library,” and “Dairy Plant”—will appear in *Starnaut*.
Within each stage, players will encounter new “Companion Rescue” events featuring visual effects inspired by *Vampire Survivors*.
While capturing the spirit of *Vampire Survivors*, this collaboration introduces new gameplay strategies that differ from the main *Starnaut* experience.

■ Creator’s Comment
Sawaki Takeyasu (Game Director / Crim Co., Ltd.)
“The moment I saw *Vampire Survivors*, I thought, ‘I want to make this in 3D!’
I never imagined the original creators would not only approve but also agree to collaborate.
Although *Starnaut* is a 3D game, this collaboration intentionally brings back a 2D-like presentation—with a few surprises that will make you go ‘Oh!’
Please look forward to it.”
Luca Galante (Vampire Survivors Creator/poncle)
I grew up playing with Takeyasu San beautiful characters and monsters. The fact that he enjoyed a game I made as far as he wanted to make an homage, I felt honored and very happy. I look forward working with him again.
