Officer Keith J. Snyder has been put on an assignment as a bodyguard to several [=VIP=]s for the grand opening of the city's new horror-themed casino hotel, The Desert Moon. And boy, tonight is not his lucky night. Soon after the party starts, a fire breaks out in the casino, and when the sprinkler system comes on, it sprays black water all over the dancers, turning them into vampires which proceed to attack the guests. Utter pandamonium soon follows, during which some fire-spurting object torches the black water, turning it white.

* AirborneMook: There are red winged demonic-looking creatures.



* BettingMinigame: Since you are in a casino, this is par the course.
* BloodlessCarnage: Averted, as all the dead bodies are found in pools of blood. Even when you kill vampires and their bodies collapse to dust, there's still some blood left behind.
* CaptainObvious: When Keith stumbles across a security guard laying motionless in a pool of his own blood, he still feels the need to kneel beside him and say "that security guard died." The pile of bodies next to him prompts no response, however.



* OurVampiresAreDifferent: In this case, one becomes a vampire by being drenched in black water. They can also be turned back with white water.

to:

* GrappleMove: Basic vampires here move just like zombies, and will grab their victim as soon as they approach in order to latch onto their neck.
* HyperactiveMetabolism: Food and drinks heal you.
* {{Knockback}}: Your attacks will knock the enemies back, especially if you are using a shotgun.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Transformation into a vampire doesn't just add two traditional fangs here. Instead, the person's teeth all simultaneously go from the normal ones to jagged triangular ones.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: In this case, one becomes a vampire by being drenched in black water. They can also be turned back with white water.water, assuming you stunned them first. Or, you can just pump them full of lead.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Here, werewolves essentially show up as large bruisers, with little wolfish about them besides the sparse grey fur.
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: They deal spread damage, and so can damage multiple enemies at once.
* TimedMission: As soon as the intro ends, you are instructed to leave the night club hall within three minutes, as the doors will be automatically locked by that time due to the "fire prevention procedures". You need to "head for the screaming moon door" instead.
* VideoGameCaringPotential: You can turn vampires back into normal humans if you first stun them, and then apply white water to them. They reward you with their currency for doing that.
