Square Enix has picked up two domains for a mysterious project called "Blood Masque," each of the .com and .net varieties, Fusible finds. There is no official word or hint as to what Blood Masque could be, though we have a suggestion, if Square Enix is open to it.
The vampire route is fairly obvious, so we'd steer clear of that genre. What the industry really needs is a game based on classic literature, most notably Edgar Allen Poe's The Masque of the Red Death. Imagine an introspective, gruesome horror game where the protagonist must navigate rooms of different colors – and different Hells – with the goal of infecting snobbish partygoers with lethal disease. Now that sounds fun. Think it over, Square.
