About Bonded in Darkness

View Game Details
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?
