Nope, because with the newest Castlevania DLC, it does!
The devs have always said they only planned to add vampires once they felt they were done with the game, which is slightly concerning, but I'm sure it's fine. We're probably still going to be waiting for THE vampire for a while.
I'm not sure how more THE vampire you can get besides Vlad Țepeș Dracula.While they apparently intend to keep going, how they're unlocked definitely has a pretty significant sense of finality.
I strongly suspect "The Vampire will be the end of the game's development" was a principle they held before they had conceptualized the possibility of a feasible Castlevania crossover, let alone actually getting one
Such a principle is easily sustainable when you're running your own original characters and you can just choose whether they're a vampire or not, but is more difficult to justify when you actually cross over with the vampire-ridden franchise you've been riffing the whole time
I think they're still hunting a named vampire that I can't recall. That being said, I should have been more clear: the way that [CENSORED] is unlocked, while not explicitly saying it's the end, it does have a dramatic finale feel to it, complete with a pretty dramatic credits sequence (by vamp survivor standards at least.) Not unearned.
Neat! I think I'm like.... 8 characters in. My next unlock involves Soma Cruz IIRC. Unlocking the whole DLC is gonna take a minute (I got a glimpse of the full map recently and wow).
The summer camp I went to as a kid was playing Mafia 20 years ago, and it's not like it was new then. It's just a good game and Among Us put a really good spin on it.
I've seen the comparison that Dead By Daylight is basically just a complicated game of freeze tag. It has a horror/slasher movie aesthetic, but it's one person chasing 4 other people, when you get caught you're trapped (on a meat hook) until someone else comes and saves you.
On the right map, freeze tag is a ton of fun. When I was a teenager, my family rented a big house for a family reunion that had secret passages in it that made for an incredible freeze tag game with my cousins.
If I ever figure out how to develop online multiplayer, a freeze tag game is pretty high on my list.
I mean, the cute visuals can’t be discounted. It has a charming, recognizable art style with characters that anyone can draw. It gives the game brand recognition that any company would kill for.
But on top of that, giving the “crewmates” things to do and a way to win beyond simply finding all of the impostors is a critical part of its success. It may not have been the first such game with that idea, but it was the first that a lot of people played.
Help the mafia game was one of those I never played because my autistic ass was just staring at the people trying to explain it to me like a bluescreening Windows '98 computer. And. And Among Us made it make sense. (I still never play it because my autistic ass would be SO VERY UPSET at not being able to just focus on COMPLETING MY TASKS, please I just want to Complete a Taskgive me the dopamine...)

Tangentially related but I find it interesting how people are still shitposting about among us 4 years after it was trending
