- Pretty good entry! I played through the entire thing, but it started to drag on a bit near the end, in terms of enemy density. some advice for improving this concept, give the player a sort of, Pikmin whistle, or the ability to make the ghouls follow the mouse, since the mouse isn't used for much.
- Looks, sounds and plays beautifully. Theme is obvious, but utilised very well mechanically, in that you must spread Vampirism in order to build an army, in order to progress. Unfortunately, its greatest strength is also is greatest weakness: it's so close to being amazing, but the gameplay loop doesn't require much of you, can be easily 'gamed' and there is little to no reason to explore (no pickups, upgrades, etc). With minimal work, this could be on Steam selling well.

I was not expecting the voice over, it blends super well with the vibes of the game. I think you got the atmosphere super well, from the art style to the music.
The game itself is a bit slow, and the AI of the masochist minions is a bit frustrating at times. The core mechanics are very fun though, I would love to see a progression system where the curse gets more powerful.
Super good work, congrats!
Really interesting! Technically, everything seemed super-smooth. I liked the teeth transition effect, the low-fi sprites and eerie music, and your own voice acting which isn't half bad!
I got momentarily puzzled by the various mechanics... till I saw the teeth hovering over a villager and realised what was up XD I imagine in a more fully realised version of the game, you'd introduce these things one at a time perhaps.
I see you even themed the GDD, nice touch! Great submission, well done.
