D3 Publisher has announced a new otome visual novel called Vamwolf Cross, for Japan,  developed by the same people who created Storm Lover.

Story

After the protagonist’s father becomes the latest victim in a series of exsanguinations, she finds a diary and a gun that belonged to him. The diary reveals that the apartment building houses vamwolf hunters, of which her father was one, and that he suspected one of them was a traitor. She must figure out who killed her father, and whether one of the hunters is indeed a turncoat.
