Countdown Vampires (カウントダウンヴァンパイヤーズ, Kauntodaun Vanpaiyāzu) is a survival horror game for the PlayStation developed by K2 LLC and published by Bandai.
The gameplay is similar to the earlier games in the Resident Evil series, to the extent of being labelled a "clone",[2] although there are some additions like a dart gun as a secondary weapon, used to sedate most enemies (mainly, zombie-like "vampires") and then sprinkle "white water" on them to restore their humanity, instead of simply killing all enemies that approach the player (which can also be done).
In this minigame, the player controls a vampire version of Keith and has to slay humans within a 20 minutes time limit.
Sea Rim City Police Homicide Detective Keith J. Snyder had a problem which involved his previous partner, Wesley Simmons, so he was assigned, as a disciplinary measure, to be a bodyguard for several VIPs who were key to the inauguration of a new horror-themed casino, the Desert Moon.
