Another month and another big update for Bloodlust: Santa Monica (Definitive Edition). This month has been full of progress, refinements, and fresh ideas for our favorite point & click adventure demake of Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines. 

🎭New Faces of the Noir Gallery

The guests of the Noir Gallery now have portraits to bring them to life. Among them is a mysterious figure cloaked in shadows, whose story is waiting to be unveiled. Should every guest have their own quest? While I’d love to give every character a unique mission, the number of puzzles might become difficult to manage. We’ll see in future updates.

🔊Sounds of Santa Monica

Santa Monica’s sonic landscape continues to grow richer. I’ve added new sound effects to enhance cinematics and events, making the city feel more alive. The Madhouse club music now carries a muffled, industrial hum that you can hear from the outside, creating a seamless transition as you step into the heart of the party.

🧩Puzzles Reimagined

Puzzles in the main quest have been completely reimagined! Each now has a single solution and involves more thoughtful item interactions. There’s a loose step in the stairs of the apartments hallway. Something is buried in the beach of Santa Monica. The surfer van at the beach house is locked. Lots of new items and puzzles to solve. There’s still fine-tuning to be done before turning my attention to side quests.
