Developer Party for Introverts and publisher Akupara Games today have graced us with some horrifying news: folks will have to wait for their upcoming 2D vampire-narrative role-playing game ‘Cabernet’ just a little longer, as its PC release has been delayed into early 2025 alongside its console launch.
You can read more about the delay below or on the game’s Steam store page (a demo is available, too!). Cabernet is set to launch on PC via Steam, the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles early next year.
Hello, Little Bats,
The response to Cabernet since the Six One Indie Showcase on September 19th continues to amaze us and we’re thrilled that you’ve shown so much excitement and enthusiasm. You are the reason we’ve been pouring our hearts and souls into this game. Unfortunately, though, we’re going to have to ask you for a little more time than we originally anticipated to bring the game to its full release.
We’re sorry to announce that Cabernet will no longer launch on October 24th. Instead, we will be launching the game in early 2025.
We do, however, have some very exciting news to share: in addition to PC, Cabernet will be releasing on all major consoles.
For those of you eager to jump into this world of vampires in the Halloween season, we absolutely understand any disappointment. We always intended to pair the game’s haunting experience with this particular time of year, but even with the absolute best efforts and sleepless nights from our tiny team, game development is incredibly complex and sometimes decisions like this, as tough they are, are necessary. In the end, we want you, the players, to have the absolute best and fullest experience.
Over the next few months, we’ll be prioritizing polish and bug fixing to ensure that the game on day one meets the community’s expectations- as well as bringing Cabernet to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and XBox platforms.
Thank you for all of your patience, support and understanding. You’re truly the best.

Cabernet is a 2D narrative RPG set in a 19th century Eastern European inspired world, with a modern twist. Guide Liza, a young vampire struggling with her morality and the supernatural world she has been pulled into. Will you retain your humanity or descend further into the horror you have become? Prepare to explore a hidden world of political intrigue, class conflict, and decadent corruption.
Use the moonlit sky to plan your next feast and explore. Mingle among vampiric society and the humans who feed them. Uncover who can aid your new kin and whose only purpose is to be drained.
Vampirism isn’t just an unholy transformation of your body– it also threatens to transform your mind. Will you choose to indulge your empathetic humanity or embrace your newfound nihilism?
But to lure your next meal somewhere safe and secluded, you’ll need to understand who they are and what they desire. A kind-hearted, alcoholic coachman? A fraying newlywed couple? A greedy, yet charming charlatan? Their lives are yours to aid or unravel.
Art, literature, history, science, these are the skills you’ll require to succeed. Your knowledge will be your greatest weapon in a world where the cunning drain the brutal of life.
