Treat it like a drug where they have withdrawal symptoms without it, possibly revealing their vampiric nature or even taking damage.This would be a good idea to make them easier to catch; the longer they go without blood, the more their skin turns gray and their hair turns black, like a stereotype vampire
Maybe after sometime they begin to shake, and give off weird vampire only noises if they go too long.

They should also sparkle in the light if they are too pathetic to feed.

Should be in starlight, rather then die.
Sparkling is a fate worst then death for any vampire.

I would think sparkly vampires would be too much of an overt reference.
On the other hand it sounds like a punishment that would turn into something people want, like janitor or clown.
I just imagine people wanting to be all sparkly. Especially in a clown mask.
Also glitter should also be a thing if vampires start sparkling. You could just run up to people and make them sparkle as a joke.

Glitter is already a thing.

Beaker + sparkling vampire = glitter in beaker.

Idea inspired/stolen from the movie Day Walkers here, this is probably going to sound dumb. So okay basically in this movie if the vampires did not drink blood after a while they would begin to mutate into a aggressive and savage form. I think seeing something like this in the game would be interesting. Like maybe give the vampire a option of a more stealthy approach or the option of purposely not drinking blood and turning into something similar like a Shambling Abomination. So basically you would have the option of playing with something we have now or playing as a powerful hulking monster like the changeling's horror form with the downside of being very obvious

Oh stupid me the movie was called Day Breakers not Day Walkers
