Ratalaika Games and Hanako Games bring us the intriguing world of Cute Bite, a vampire-raising sim available on PlayStation 5. In this captivating tale, you step into the shoes of a devoted butler tied by vampire blood. Your story begins with a twist: after an extended slumber in her coffin, your vampire mistress awakens in an unexpectedly petite form, reduced to child-like stature. This transformation leaves her powerless to shield you, prompting you to train the Little Mistress diligently. Your mission? To help her reclaim her former glory by amassing blood, fame, and riches. This dynamic adventure comes from the same creative minds behind the hit game Long Live the Queen.
In your efforts to nurture the Little Mistress, you’ll make daily decisions about her activities to enhance her skills. Dialogue choices along the way will steer her journey, requiring careful consideration of her physical and mental well-being. You’ll need to allow her time to rest, rejuvenating her body and mind, while also striving to expand her maximum potential in both areas. And don’t forget, she needs to feed! Additionally, some well-spent gold can procure items to further boost her stats.
Deciding on her classes is another vital aspect of the game. Each class increases specific attributes but comes with its own set of physical, mental, and financial demands. As you progress, classes will become costlier in subsequent sessions. You’ll juggle numerous stats – Technology, Style, Strength, and many more – to improve the Little Mistress’s capabilities. To cover costs, she’ll have to work various jobs, which adds stress. Balancing work and rest is key to preventing burnout.
The game also boasts a robust trophy system, including a coveted Platinum trophy, and it’s a Cross-Buy title! This means a single purchase ($14.99) affords access to both the PS4 and PS5 versions, each with its unique trophy list. Tasks to claim these trophies range from winning arm-wrestling matches to charming characters, making your journey as immersive as a virtual adventure can be.
In essence, Cute Bite immerses you in a playful yet challenging narrative where you mentor a diminutive vampire back to her former majesty. Available as a Cross-Buy, you’ll enjoy both versions of the game, expanding your trophy-hunting ventures without additional cost. Happy training!
