The title reflects this game's origin in a line of choose-your-own-adventure audio CDs from Dungeons & Dragons publisher TSR. The player is a dispatcher for a paranormal emergency unit, who directs field agents by skipping between tracks...or in this video version, typing A and B.

Both audio games were re-released as freeware, with the boast that this team of X-File-busters predated The Chronicle, Special Unit 2, and FreakyLinks. (Just like Tunnels & Trolls came before Powers & Perils, Mutants & Masterminds, or Castles & Crusades!)

Unlike the first game on the CineACTIVE engine, Track of the Vampire is wall-to-wall video footage with zero clickable UI. However, it retains Johnny Mnemonic's dialogs...
