About Ballads at Midnight

Ballads at Midnight - about the game
A sarcastic bard faces exile in an abandoned castle with a bored vampire named Lucius, surviving through midnight ballads that spark unexpected banter. This indie adventure visual novel unfolds in a dark fantasy romance, blending enemies-to-lovers dynamics, found family bonds, and shared trauma with lighthearted arguments and believable dialogue. Players shape interactions via flavor line choices-flirty or sharp-tongued-with no lasting impact, leading to three marked endings: quick abandonment, eternal bliss, or world secrets. Beautiful sprites, original music, partial voice acting, and two bard songs enhance over 42,000 words of story, clocking 3-4 hours per playthrough on PC. Fans of choice-driven narratives and romance tropes with suggestive themes, strong language, and fantasy violence will enjoy the quick-witted exchanges.

When a sarcastic bard is arrested and exiled to an abandoned castle, she expected to be at the mercy of a hungry, blood-thirsty vampire. She soon discovers that the vampire, Lucius, is not starving: he is gravely bored. She may just survive on borrowed time, one ballad each midnight.







(The name can be changed)

A well-traveled and gifted bard. Abigail is quick-witted and quick to act, though not necessarily in that order. Sarcasm coats her words like calluses, formed through years of undergoing difficult journeys and indulging difficult people. While she has a strong sense of insight and genuine interest in others, she has a dogged impulse of announcing her observations. This is seldom appreciated, and at worst has led to face grave consequences.

Still, no one can deny that she has a flair and talent for entertainment. Not even a centuries-old vampire.





(Love interest)

One's first impression of Lucius is that he's menacing at worst, and witheringly unyielding at best. However, his coarse exterior is a thin veil for his impressively dry wit - which he's more than happy to reveal if he thinks his sense of humor will be heard. It's rather hard to share one's wit when your guests generally scream and run at the sight of you though.





♦ Enemies to lovers, found family, bonding through shared trauma, and even more of your favorite relationship tropes!

♦ A dark fantasy romance that seamlessly blends lighthearted moments and hidden depths, with believable dialogue and an abundance of banter. (Boy, they love to argue. ;p )

♦ Beautiful sprite and original music

♦ Three clearly-marked endings - abandon him as early as possible, remain in eternal bliss or discover gruesome secrets about the world around you.

♦ Flavor line choices: be an unabashed flirt or have a razor sharp tongue. The choice is yours, no consequences.

♦ More than 42 000 words (around 3-4h per playthrough)

♦ Partial voice acting & two original bard songs!

Ballads at Midnight is rated T for suggestive material, strong language, alcohol use, and allusions to trauma, child abuse, and fantasy violence.
