Pinkybites
✦ What is Pinkybites? ✦
Mercy, an Arch-Duchess that has been sleeping for four centuries, did not ask to be resurrected by three broke musicians in a suburban basement. And yet, here we are.
Pinkybites is a gothic visual novel with rhythm game mechanics. Follow Mercy, a sharp-tongued, fur-lined, eternally grumpy vampire as she navigates the absolute horror of the 21st century alongside her accidental new band.

✦ Meet the Band ✦
Mercy — Vocalist (involuntary). Arch-Duchess. Has not touched a vein since 1626. Absolutely disgusted by everything. Your protagonist.
Arlo — Guitarist and self-appointed band dad. Protective, stubborn, carries old scars under all that metal. Will fight a four-hundred-year-old vampire and lose gracefully. (¬_¬)
Judith — Bassist. Warm, hopeful, running toward something better than what she left behind. This is technically her basement. She is not okay with any of this but she's trying. ( ´ ▽ ` )
Zero — Drummer. Dry humor, few words, clean now. Keeps his hands busy so they don't shake. The only one who finds Mercy genuinely funny. (￣▽￣)
( •̀ ω •́ ) A Note from the Developer
This is a passion project built in Ren'Py, made with a lot of love, dark humor and a genuine soft spot for broken people who find each other. If you enjoy gothic aesthetics and characters who are disasters in the best way this one's for you.
The current build is a demo. More chapters are in development! ✦
