you play as a vampire and can level up different stats as your rank increases, such as art, literature, or science. this unlocks various dialogue and story options. you also constantly choose between humanity and nihilism, meaning you can play either a mostly kind or evil vampire, which again opens and/or closes different paths. that's basically the core of the game & i'm enjoying it very much so far. i also have to praise the exceptionally good voice acting; there are some very unique voices to enjoy here. overall, it’s a really atmospheric vampire rpg with a lot of replay value. 8/10

Definitely a good game (and for the price, too!) - the art style was nostalgic to me with the 'puppet' like animation. The writing was good, and I appreciated that you can 'use your brain' as it were for solving issues. One example is you can reasonably accrue a large sum of money and then just... hand money to people who are having money related issues as a solution (within reason). I personally played on a 'good, kind' side of the rpg, so I have no feedback on an evil run. There are a few spots of jank here and there - for example, I spotted some assets not being layered correctly in a scene - but not inexcusable for this price of game and length of. Some puzzles do need a bit of cultural understanding (such as one book puzzle), so if you can't figure a puzzle out do look up hints. Overall, fun, I do recommend it.
