Land of Nod, New Mexico — Black Manticores is thrilled to announce BLOODY RAVE, a relentless first-person horror-FPS that blends high-octane gunplay with forbidden blood magic. Set against the backdrop of a massive desert excavation site, players must navigate a lethal rave where the bass isn't the only thing thumping—it’s the pulse of the undead.
The rave is live. The vampires are real. Survive the night… if you can.
In the remote town of Land of Nod, a mysterious invitation leads you to a party perched atop an ancient vampire graveyard. Local legends whisper of the tomb of King Solomon, the world’s first vampire, cursed by his own legendary ring. But the real threat is closer to home: Frankie, a scorned member of a powerful drug cartel, was promised immortality and received only the life of a lowly ghoul. Now, he’s looking for blood, and you’re caught in the crossfire.
Dota-Style Stakes in a First-Person NightmareBLOODY RAVE introduces a high-stakes gameplay loop inspired by the "no-rewind" philosophy of Dota 2. There are no mid-run saves. You either finish the night or restart from the last checkpoint.
The heart of the game features a dynamic, 100% in-game economy powered by the Vampire Coin. As you clear the map and complete quests, the coin’s value spikes. Kill more vampires, get richer. Use your earnings in the persistent Underground Battle Arena to:
-
Trade powerful artifacts and nightmare weapons.
-
Upgrade stats to survive the next run.
-
Switch Playstyles: Choose between Human (tech and grit) or Vampire (speed and blood magic).
