💡 Did You Know?

The title 'DRACU-RIOT!' is a clever portmanteau of Dracula and Riot.

Yuuto's rare lycanthrope ability allows him to steal supernatural powers—and sometimes even memories—by drinking a target's blood.

Miu's kidnapping incident at the start of the game was actually a bait tactic orchestrated by the Disciplinary Team.

Originally released in 2012, this was Yuzusoft's sixth major visual novel title.
