Developed by the small indie studio, Team Firestorm, Blood on the Thames is a shining example of how video games don’t need ultra-realistic graphics, a 60 FPS framerate, or an eye-watering budget to create a wholly enjoyable and deeply immersive experience.

Playing the part of a somewhat hapless vampire priest, you want nothing more than to reclaim your “batoon” and escape to the familiarly torturous your home, Hell itself. However, things aren’t quite as easy for our newly-appointed priest and you will have to take on…
