Storyline IGDB
Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA
Cabernet is a single-player narrative role-playing video game with multiple endings. Quests are based on interactions with the world and its characters, with exploration and conversations yielding experience points that can be used to level up skills, which in turn open up additional dialogue options. Rather than traditional combat stats, Liza has four knowledge-based attributes: Music and Arts, Literature and Writing, Science and Logic, and History and Politics, which grant her different options in dialogue when speaking with townsfolk. Base stats are chosen during Liza's funeral in the prologue, and can be further raised throughout the game by reading books, wearing different outfits, and completing quests. Completing enough quests levels Liza up within vampiric society, at which point the player can increase her stat pools. Each night, the player is given Action Points, which are spent on quests, conversations, and other activities as time advances through predetermined increments till dawn. Once all action points are used, embers begin to fleck off of Liza, indicating that sunrise is imminent and she must return to her coffin. Liza only has a limited amount of time per night to complete tasks, some of which take up more time than others, requiring the player to carefully plan and schedule. The game is navigated through side-scrolling environments using standard keyboard controls, with full gamepad support. Liza has four vampiric abilities: turning into a bat, turning invisible, enchanting people, and entering a vampire form to drink blood, accessed through an ability wheel that can be opened at any time outside of dialogue. Liza's health is indicated by a blood chalice, which drains each night. To feed, the player can purchase bottled Cabernet "wine", hunt rabbits in the nearby forest, or drink from human characters they have built a close enough relationship with to enchant. Victims are not directly aware of what has happened, but at some level retain the sensation, causing their friendship level with Liza to drop with each feeding. Drinking more blood than necessary grants temporary powers, but increases Liza's rate of dependency going forward. Player choices feed into a morality system tracking Liza's alignment between Humanity and Nihilism, with further dialogue options opening up depending on how far in either direction she leans. Characters can die permanently as a consequence of player decisions, which can significantly alter how story events unfold.
