I´m a german Game Designer & Game Producer that currently works at a media agency that does html5 games, but I since 1,5 years I´m working on a non-gaming project within the company.
I have never made a game with the Visual Novel Maker before and I´m no Programmer or Artist. My skills are mainly concepts, story, UI and technical photoshop usage.
Also it´s been a very long time since my last game jam and this is the third overall and I never participated alone before.
My love for Vampire the Masquerade started at the age of 15 ( I´m 30 now).
Although my first contact was earlier when I watched my older brother play VtM: Redemption. He just left the Tower of London and the sudden Werewolf attack scared me.
At age 15 the neighbors boy showed me VtM: Bloodlines and sold me his copy. The rest is history ;)

Really good job with consistent art-style and polishing as I didn't stumble upon any bugs playing your game! With a plenty of choices, it felt like a really well-done visual novel!
Thank you so much Outstar for commenting here as well as your tweet. I really appreciate the hard work you do for the community and the developers from the game jam.
Have a nice vacation and happy holidays =)
I enjoyed this! Great job. It's a really nice game from the visual point of view; in particular, the images you chose to start the game and to portray frenzy give a strong VtM vibe. Also, I appreciated the fact that the player is actually "punished" for unwise choices: the World of Darkness is unforgiving, and you managed to capture its essence in such a short game.
I just wanted to point out a small problem: when you walk out of the club, you get the same dialogue even in case you had actually fed before. (I won't be more specific to avoid spoling something)
Thank you for pointing that little continuity error, I will fix it and thank you for the feedback.
It makes me happy to hear that you liked the image for the beginning and frenzy, I was very proud how it turned out 🙂
It was great. More!
Thank you, I´m happy to hear that you enjoyed the game ^^
This is such a good game. Figured it needed to be said on your main game page as well. Absolutely wonderful little experience with multiple choices and wonderful writing!
Thank you for commenting twice =)
Hey! I loved the game! It was very well polished, the art does it absolute wonders!
I do have a small complaint though - I wish that fast skip stopped after you made a choice and you needed to turn it back again as I missed some content because of it. There is no way to backtrack outside of the scene as well, so I couldn't just go back.
Hey mirta000,
I think you are the first Let´s play of my game, thank you very much for that and I´m happy that you liked it.
The skip issue is unfortunately a default of the visual novel maker and I have to look if a can change it, I did not had the time to do so before the submission.
Edit:
I watched your Let´s play nowcompletely, thanks again, I found the typos now and can fix them and some other little things as well =)
I'm glad that it helped. It was fun to play :)
Hey! I managed not to do terribly! It was cool to have lot's of choices! The part where Tamara made me watch her read more pages before speaking to me was SO Tremere, very cool! Also very polished, great job!
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it 🙂
