There are two versions of Vampyr: Talisman of Invocation floating around the web. It's important to know the difference because one has game-breaking bugs!

Version 1.1[]

This version has game-breaking bugs and can not be completed! It is recommended that you download and play Version 2.0... but here's the download anyway: https://archive.org/details/VampyrTheTalismanOfInvocation

You can identify this version through by:

  • The title screen has Version 1.1 below the title
  • Encountering any of the game breaking bugs. (I don't know if save files are transferrable between versions but you can try!)

Version 2.0[]

Here are ways to identify this version:

  • The title screen has Version 2.0 below the title
  • The logo in the top-right corner is slightly different
  • There is a fade to black and fade-from black animation when the player rests.
