Bonded in Darkness is a visual novel I (and several other collaborators!) made for the Queer Vampire Game Jam. It's an enemies-to-lovers m/m romance about a vampire and the hunter trying to kill him.

Arnaud just wants to be left alone.

Turned into a vampire against his will long ago, he's nonetheless managed to carve out a largely peaceful existence in an abandoned manor—a peaceful existence routinely interrupted by the vampire hunter Julien, seeking blood for blood.

Over the years, animosity has morphed into a strange sort of respect, and on one stormy night, Arnaud is greeted with a sight he never expected: his mortal enemy Julien, gravely injured on his doorstep.

Will Arnaud take him in, or will he use this opportunity to grasp the peace he's been seeking for years?

It's available as a downloadable for Windows/Mac/Linux and as a browser-playable version, but I highly recommend playing the downloadable version if you can!

The game has four possible endings, and at ~9.4k words long takes about an hour to read all of them.
