Overview

After completing their first Apotheosis, players unlock a Vampire Mode — a fully isolated parallel game with the same loop but slower, harder progression and entirely fresh gothic/vampire-themed content.

Players can toggle freely between Base Game and Vampire Mode at any time. Switching saves the current state and loads the other — no data is ever overwritten.

Architecture

Data Model

  • New VampireGameState Prisma model mirroring GameState, stored in its own MongoDB collection
  • Player gets two new fields:
    • vampireUnlocked: Boolean — set to true on first Apotheosis
    • currentMode: String — "base" or "vampire"
  • Toggle endpoint saves current state then loads the other

Mode Switcher UI

  • Sits in the sidebar below the Early Access announcement
  • Only visible after first Apotheosis
  • Simple toggle: ⚔️ Base Game / 🩸 Vampire Mode
  • Clearly shows which mode is active

Visual Theme

  • Vampire mode applies a .vampire-mode class to the root element
  • Full dark gothic colour scheme: deep crimsons, blacks, desaturated purples
  • Replaces the current teal/purple palette across all components

Tuning (same structure, harder numbers)

Setting Base Game Vampire Mode
Gold income multiplier 1× ~0.3×
Boss HP Standard Substantially higher
Quest failure chance 10%–40% 20%–60%
Prestige threshold Standard Higher
Transcendence threshold Standard Higher

Content (fully fresh vampire-themed, matching base game scale)

Content Type Count
Zones 18
Bosses 72 (3 per zone)
Quests 95 (4–6 per zone)
Adventurer tiers 32 (vampire-flavoured: Thrall → Fledgling → Revenant → … → Ancient One)
Equipment 53
Equipment sets 9
Upgrades 57
Prestige upgrades 25
Transcendence upgrades 15
Achievements 40
Daily challenges 10
Exploration areas 72 (18 lore zones × 4 areas)
Crafting recipes 36
Materials 54

Zone theme suggestions: Haunted Catacombs, Blood Mire, Obsidian Keep, Crimson Citadel, Shadow Court, The Eternal Abyss, etc.

Task Checklist

  • Architecture — VampireGameState schema + migration, toggle API endpoint, mode switcher UI component, .vampire-mode CSS theme
