Bloodborne

Bloodborne is a 2015 video game developed by From Software and published by Sony Computer Entertainment.

The city of Yharnam is afflicted by a plague that turns men and animals in ferocious, violent monsters. Our nameless, customizable protagonist came to this city in search of an blood transfusion, something Yharnam seems to be very known about around in the world. After signing a contract and being warned he will go through a journey that will seem like a bad dream, the protagonist is approached by weird creatures and passes out.

When he wakes up, the protagonist finds the city infested with with living beings affected by the plague, and those who are still healthy locked themselves in their houses and mostly will not leave or open their doors to anyone, so trying to hide isn't a option. The one thing left to the protagonist is grab weapons and kill the infected, and hope this nightmare will end.

Directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, who also directed Dark Souls.
