When characters reference historical events (the Great Depression, the Plague, various wars) or specific vampire lore (the "Great Laws"), a brief, non-intrusive tooltip provides the historical or supernatural context.
Since the show jumps between 1910s New Orleans, the 1970s San Francisco interview, and modern-day Dubai, a small UI element (like a subtle wax seal) can be clicked to show exactly where the current scene sits in the characters' long lives.
A toggle that changes the color grading and audio mix to simulate how the characters are perceiving the scene—enhancing heartbeats, sharpening distant whispers, or highlighting the heat signatures of "prey" in the room.
