Witcher 3 Director's Vampire Game Might Be A Literal Time Suck

Earlier this year, The Witcher 3 director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz and his company, Rebel Wolves, shared the first look at The Blood of Dawnwalker. This action-RPG will put players in control of the titular Dawnwalker, Coen, a half-human/half-vampire hybrid who has 30 days and nights to save his family. But if players spend too much time in The Blood of Dawnwalker, then Coen may not be able to finish his quest.

During a recent interview with PC Gamer, Tomaszkiewicz compared the experience in The Blood of Dawnwalker to The Witcher 3's Geralt playing the card game Gwint instead of helping out Ceri in her hour of need.

But in The Blood of Dawnwalker, Tomaszkiewicz noted that wasted time could prove to be fatal for Coen's family.
