* FollowTheLeader: The game's vampire lore obviously cribs a lot from ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade'': Dr. Reid refers to the act of vampires hiding amongst humans as a "masquerade." The proper term for a vampire's offspring is "Progeny." A vampire refers to fellow vampires as "kindred." The term "Embrace" refers to an act that involves draining humans of blood (though in ''Vampire: The Masquerade'' it also involves turning the victim). Vampires have a lineage that affects how strong their powers are. They use blood to power their abilities and must feed to refill themselves. Fire and claws inflict "aggravated damage" that is more difficult to heal.

Low budget for its scope, but not nearly no budget
Deleted line(s) 21 (click to see context) :
* NoBudget: Developing games on a shoestring budget (or at least, running out of money closer to the end as with ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange'') has become somewhat of a theme for Creator/DontnodEntertainment. In ''Vampyr'', this lack of funds had resulted in many cut or scrapped features, lackluster endgame chapters, and reused voice actors.
