Mosquitoes might not be the first creature that comes to mind when thinking of familiars, but they're a Vampire's best blood-sucking buddy! They are tiny and stealthy, making them [b]the perfect spy for your vampiric needs[/b]. With a mosquito familiar, you can send them to [b]sample the blood of hotel guests and report back with valuable information about the blood's quality and the state of your prey[/b] (e.g. if they're intoxicated or anxious). A well-trained mosquito can even [b]detect a vampire hunter in disguise[/b], potentially saving you from a dangerous encounter.
Cats make the [i]purrrrfect [/i]familiars! Not only do they [b]keep pesky rodents away from your hotel[/b], but they do it with style and grace. No more need for expensive traps and bait that can scare away guests. And let's not forget the added bonus of [b]fresh, tasty rodent meat as a cooking ingredient[/b] (only well-trained cats can retrieve meat from their prey). Times may be tough, but with a trusty cat by your side, your pantry will never be empty.
Dogs are Vampire's best friend! They make the perfect familiars for a number of reasons. For one, they're fiercely loyal and will [b]protect your hotel storage room from thieving bandits[/b]. Plus, a well-trained dog [b]can keep watch over you while you sleep, ensuring that you and your belongings are safe[/b] after a tough battle in the dungeons.
Despite their small size, teacup pigs make for an excellent familiar among Vampires. [b]Their cute and cuddly appearance can help put hotel guests at ease if they happen to witness something they weren't meant to see[/b]. They're like a magical "look at the cute piggy" button that diverts attention away from any vampire-related shenanigans. Guests who like pets are guaranteed to become return customers...if you let them leave the first time, of course. In addition, [b]teacup pigs can be trained to alert you of any potential dangers in the vicinity[/b].
Spiders are the ultimate stealthy companions for a Vampire. [b]They're small, agile, and can assist in pickpocketing and other covert activities[/b]. When they're well-trained, [b]their venomous bite can be used to weaken or incapacitate your prey[/b] before moving in for the final kill.
Possessed by a mysterious force, dolls are capable of things that are beyond the grasp of mortals. They can [b]help you read minds and discover secrets of hotel guests[/b]. This information can be used to provide excellent customer service or exploit the guest's weaknesses when targeting them as prey. [b]Similar to a battery, dolls can store vampiric energy which can be recharged over time and used when needed[/b]. However, [b]one downside to owning a doll as a familiar is that they can be quite creepy and make your patrons uncomfortable[/b], potentially leading to increased vigilance. On the other hand, [b]dolls are low maintenance and do not require food, water, or regular care and attention[/b].
We'd like to implement many more familiars into Bloody Hell Hotel. It might be too time-consuming to add more before the launch, but we're planning on expanding our line-up after the launch, as a large content update. We have many wacky ideas that we're excited about, but we'd love to hear yours as well! [u][b]What familiars would you like to see in Bloody Hell Hotel? Also, which one do you like the most so far? [/b][/u]
Last but not least, a big shoutout to [i]JtheStray[/i] who was the first to suggest the idea of adding familiars to the game on our Discord. Your name shall be forever immortalized in the game's credit roll & a copy of the game will be sent to you when the game launches.
