When Vampire Survivors won a BAFTA for Game of the Year back in 2023, it was a handful of Galante's colleagues at Poncle who took to the stage to accept it. At convention panels, Galante is known for using screens and decoys rather than addressing the audience himself. In the NoClip documentary chronicling the success of Vampire Survivors, Galante opted to have a Muppets-esque puppet resembling the game's iconic vampire mascot made so he wouldn't have to appear on camera himself.

The dungeon-crawling deckbuilder is a notable departure from the simplistic gameplay of Vampire Survivors, and yet, after spending around half an hour playing the game, it's abundantly clear that it shares much of the same DNA and the same penchant for chaotic fun. Although Crawlers is, at least initially, slower-paced and less compulsive than its predecessor, it makes up for this with increased depth and strategy, all while incorporating elements that make the game delightfully unruly.

You can now beam Vampire Survivors directly into your eyeballs, as developer Poncle's indie-bullet-hell sensation is out now on a new platform: VR. More specifically, it's available for the Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest 3S, Meta Quest Pro, and Meta Quest 2, with a new trailer inviting players to "be the bullet hell, on your face." This version of Vampire Survivors will come with two of the game's DLC expansions, Legacy of the Moonspell and Tides of the Foscari, built in.

To complete this secret, you'll need to find a hidden location on the Space 54 map that's out of bounds from the normal confines of the map.
