Vampire Guide: Night Cycle, Coffin & Powers
Night-only farming, sunrise coffin deadline, bat shapeshift on official copy, and reported demo magic limits — complete guide.
Fast Answer
Official sources confirm all growing and nurturing under moonlight — farm at night, return to your coffin before sunrise. Transforming Yourself on the official site plus Steam cite vampire shapeshift to explore town. demo previews adds daily spell magic pressure alongside the verified coffin deadline — no named stamina bar; see /stamina-guide for magic-cap framing, not best-food rankings. Full-game penalty details recheck after July 7 per official sources (Steam may show 6 Jul — see release date page).

Confirmed night loop vs reported magic pressure
- Step 1Farm only after dusk
Official sources both frame growing and nurturing under moonlight — confirmed night-only loop, not a generic daytime schedule.

- Step 5Budget reported daily magic (demo)
demo previews cites watering and crop shortcuts under a daily magic cap alongside the coffin deadline — /stamina-guide explains limits without food rankings.
- Step 6Coming July 7, 2026
