Suck Up! is a videogame developed by Proxima.
The game has you play as a vampire, who intends to suck the blood from the inhabitants of the city. Unfortunately for them, however, they must abide to old vampire rules, and thus can't enter a house unless they're invited. Because of this, they will have to disguise themselves and trick the neighbors into letting them in. As more people disappear from the neighborhood, the Neighborhood Watch gets curious and might start to question those out late at night...
The game is unique due to using an advanced AI software, allowing the NPCs to actually respond to you.
The game subsequently got a game mode called "Love Bites" for Valentine's Day, where the vampire must convince couples to break up.
The game is currently in early access, and can be downloaded from here

The game provides examples of:
- Artificial Brilliance: As all characters are chatbots powered by advanced AI technology, they are more than capable of holding a conversation and referencing and elaborating on topics you brought up earlier. They can also comment on the items you wear and hold and can recognize if you are disguised as another character.
- All-Stereotype Cast: Pretty much all characters represent some kind of ethnic, generational or lifestyle stereotype. These include, but are not limited to: a nudist, a LARPing enthusiast, a rapper, a cryptocurrency aficionado, a stoner, a barista, a lumberjack, a priest, a Mad Scientist, a Rich Bitch, and several shout outs to the Sopranos, MrBeast, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerburg.
- Master of Disguise: The vampire can wear about anything for their disguise, including the clothes and hair of the neighbors, causing others to think they are that specific neighbor. While neighbors might refuse to open the door on someone if they've seen that disguise before, a simple costume change is typically enough to get another try.
- Must Be Invited: The main premise of the game is that the vampire can't enter others' houses without being invited first, thus needing to convince them to let them in.
- Relationship Sabotage: The goal of the "Love Bites" game mode is to convince the various couples to break up.
- Villain Protagonist: The Player Character is a vampire who wants to suck others' blood.
