Play on Your Schedule
Your Actions refill over time, and the overflow waits in your Reserve, so a few minutes a day keeps you moving and longer sessions are always rewarded.
If you love PBBGs, the browser games where turns, timers and a shared world keep you coming back each day, Vampire Genesis is a vampire PBBG built in that tradition and still growing. No client, no install: just a tab you keep open between everything else.
A Persistent World
The valley keeps going without you
Death Valley, a gaslit Victorian city running on far-future machines, is one shared world for every player. Its clock, weather and seasons run on the server, so the city you log into tonight is the same city everyone else is in.
- Covens hold the districts between your sessions; when a siege is launched, defenders get two hours to rally.
- Your home keeps its window lit on the map while you're away.
- Bounties, the Ranked ladder and the Hall of Fame move whether you're online or not.

Collect & Breed
A collection that grows every day
169 familiars to catch across twelve families. Fill the Familiar Codex a little each session, chase shinies and breed rare Communion-born forms at the Blood Communion.
- The Daily Hunt, daily quests and wild packs give every login a goal.
- Companions level up alongside you and stay in your roster.

What is a PBBG?
PBBG stands for persistent browser-based game. Unlike a match-based game that resets when you quit, a PBBG keeps one shared world running all the time. Your character, your gold, your alliances and your enemies are still there tomorrow, and things have happened while you were away.
PBBGs are played in a web browser, usually in short sessions spread through the day. Many grew out of the early text-based browser games, and the best ones have communities that have played together for years.
Why play a vampire PBBG?
Vampires suit the genre perfectly: a long unlife, slow accumulation of power, feuding bloodlines and night-time politics. In Vampire Genesis you hunt to grow stronger, build a lair, sire a lineage of friends and rise through a coven that fights for the city itself.
It is one of the original vampire games on the web, and it is still being expanded, most recently with a pixel-art city map, familiar breeding, player housing and the Ossuary crypt crawl.
