Characters

Gerda

Anders

Portrait Reinhardt

Reinhardt

Margit

Gerda

4

A quick-thinking and observant nurse who works in the small village of Tinglev. Growing up with a Danish mother and a German father has made her a frequent mediator in the local community, though some think she is too unwilling to take sides. She puts her people pleasing ways and perfectionism to good use working at the local clinic as a nurse. ​

Anders

4

A good-natured mechanic who would rather spend his days illustrating the local wildlife than tinkering with an engine. Despite a quiet disposition, there is a righteous heart beating beneath his calm exterior.

Portrait Reinhardt

Reinhardt

5

A Wehrmacht officer with a penchant for cigarettes and crime, Reinhardt was transferred to Southern Jutland, where he quickly integrated himself into the local black market. He cares little for ideology and partakes of illicit substances to quell both his nerves and his guilt.​

Margit

4

​The daughter of local manufacturing magnate Algot Vestergaard, Margit enjoys assisting with the family business, but has reservations about her father’s illicit business dealings. Often escaping into books, she worries she might never see the world outside of Tinglev.​

                                    VampyrからDON’TNODさんの作品に触れました。
                                    vampyrは何週も遊んで、プレイ時間が300時間を超えました。新しいデータを作って、そのたび新しい発見があっていつも新鮮な気持ちで遊んでいます。
                                    vampyrは続編ももちろんほしいのですが、もし可能なら重要ポジションにいたジェフリー視点の話も欲しいです。
                                    続編を待ち望んでいる、日本のユーザーの一人として、よろしくお願いします。

                                    I was introduced to DON’TNOD’s work through Vampyr.
                                    I played vampyr for many weeks and have over 300 hours of playtime. I make new data and each time I discover something new, so I always play with a fresh mind.
                                    I would of course like to see a sequel to vampyr, but if possible I would also like to see the story from Jeffrey’s point of view, who was in an important position.
                                    As one of the Japanese users who are waiting for a sequel, I would appreciate it.
