The Prologue of Vampyr begins with an unknown voice and an arrangement of blood-red still images of Jonathan's arrival in London. The scene ends with Jonathan bitten by the Vampire. The next scene opens in a mass-grave where Jonathan wakes up again. Shocked and exhausted he leaves the ditch. Extremely weakened with impaired senses he spots a life sign and barely hears the overjoyed voice of a woman. Jonathan doesn't recognise his own sister Mary in this very moment when the blood-thirst overwhelms him. Despite being terrified of what he has done, he has no time to care any more for his sister's corpse, when suddenly gunmen appear and shoot at him.
Players now gain control of Jonathan. General speaking, like in most games, the first part of game is a short tutorial about how to play and an introduction to the setting, main character and a story exposition. In the Prologue, players will learn how to walk, run (sprint), look around and how to interact with items. They will also earn basic knowledge about the fight mechanics, such as lock enemy, switch target, dodge, etc. There are some other things players may notice and they should keep an eye on displays lke HP / Stamina and the blood bar. At the end of the Prologue, players also know about aggravated damage.
