An Internet-Age Dracula
BYTE takes place in Detroit, Oregon in the 1980s. Dracula hires Jonathan Harker to help him purchase properties using the help of fax machines, telephones, and the internet.Rapid developments to transportation, communication, and medical technologies lie at the core of Dracula?s horror, and BYTE explores how the novel adapts to a technological revolution still happening today.
BYTE?s story happens in visual novel scenes, where Jonathan talks with the other characters and delivers his own intricate internal monologue.
BYTE is all about the clash between 19th-century Gothic and 20th-century technology, so retaining the literary style of the novel is a core part of the experience.
