** In ''16 More Ways'', one of the options for killing a vampire is locking it inside a walk-in freezer and letting it starve. If this option is taken, then after the team locks the vampire in, they put a sign on the door that says "DO NOT ENTER. DEAD INSIDE". In an aside, Lucy admits that they're all [[Series/TheWakingDead Walking Dead fans]]. Then they drill off the door handle, because that's more effective.

''[[http://opensorcerygames.azurewebsites.net/vampire 16 Ways to Kill a Vampire at McDonalds]]'' is a interactive fiction game released in September, 2016. The game is available [[http://ifarchive.jmac.org/if-archive/games/competition2016/16%20Ways%20to%20Kill%20a%20Vampire%20at%20McDonalds/Vampire%20%2843%29.html free online.]]
You play Lucy, a vampire hunter on her night off. She goes to McDonalds to enjoy some greasy food, and discovers a vampire slouching in a booth. The goal of the game is to slay the vampire before he exsanguinates the cashier.
The situation is complicated by the fact that Lucy isn't a fighter: her role on her vampire hunting team is bait. She lures vampire into traps to her teammates can slay them. So she can't confront the vampire directly and instead needs to be creative.
