Forget velvet capes and gothic castles—the pesky fiends of Real Vampires prefer to hide in cowsheds and knock spoons out of hungry peasants’ hands. Sink your fangs into dozens of darkly funny mini-games inspired by eastern European folklore as you try to stop bloodsucking upiórs from terrorizing villagers—or side with the vampires and rule the night instead.

What we love: Playing both sides. Each short tale has two variants of its grim-yet-goofy mini-game: Choose the daytime version to nail vampires into their coffins, or switch to nighttime to wreak some havoc.

Quick tip: While tying together cow tails as an upiór, drag one animal onto another so their rear ends overlap—but make sure the cows are facing opposite directions. If you’re playing the daytime version, tap rapidly on the cows’ knotted tails until they come undone.

Meet the creator: Real Vampires was born when Danish game developer Trine Laier met Polish historian Dr. Łukasz Kozak at a karaoke bar in Warsaw, where they exchanged anti-vampire bread recipes. (In Slavic folklore, villagers baked bread mixed with blood to keep the monsters at bay. Ick!)
