Thoughtful, witty and hilarious. Had a ball playing this one. Definitely a favorite <3

This is way above and beyond my expectations, and my expectations were pretty high, considering it's from the author of the Furby table-top role playing game. I'm not going to spoil, but this game was eye-opening. It makes me see that whole universe in whole new ways.

The story, the humor, the characters—everything in this game is just *chef's kiss*. Loved every minute of it!

When I saw the title and thumbnail I had a feeling I would love this and I did!
Amazing job on this game. Perfect choice with this Nosferatu character for that kind of a comedic game. Great art style as well.
I did not expect voice acting, but it fits! Unfortunately it was sometimes way too quiet.
Definitely laughed out loud at so many of the conversations and scenes.

Some UI features would be nice, as was already commented by others.

"I'm the Prince, baby, woo!" I dig what you did. I'm so pleased someone did tragi-comedy, pleased too that someone did a game featuring a Nosferatu PC. Never did I imagine both wishes would be granted together! Creepstain is the perfect perspective character, methinks--a downbeat hopeful that goes with the flow. Whatever the outcome of the contest, I hope you will consider doing lore videos on Youtube (Creepstain's Guide to the Camarilla?) or something for the Storyteller Vault (27 Ways to Meet Final Death in Pennsyltucky?)--I promise to subscribe or buy if you do. "Ol' Sex-Haver, that's what they used to call me." Thank you for letting me play someone who appraises their own appearance as "a melted hobo" and "a coatrack covered in bad mayonaise." I have a comedy WiP over at Choice of Games which you might enjoy called," Not Your Mother's Shire." No intending to self-plug on your thread. Just, us ugly comedians have to stick together. Cheers, friendo. Thanks for this delightful experience!

Dear Diary, I gotta admit, I did not expect to like it, I didn't even want to like it when I hit play, because I've always had this weird thing where I just hate the comedy genre 99% of the time. AND I HATED the idea of mixing comedy with the dark vampire genre but you know what? It frickin' worked. The hospital scene was awesome, somehow creepy AND funny AND I even laughed out loud. Hot damn... Good job.

Absolutely loved it. Clever, entertaining, the art style is… I don’t think a different art style would have suited this story. The audio mixing was a little troublesome at times, but it didn’t hurt the experience.

Dear Diary,

today I played a really original submission. Innovative and humorous throughout. Hope this is going to be a sitcom. Production value seams legit. Can't wait for Episode two.

The story of your game is very comedic and the art style is pretty fitting. Also the dialog and the voice acting were besides some mixing and normalizing issues very good.


Things that could be improved are clearly a lot of UI things like the starting point of the text and the hover effect of the buttons and so on. 
Also I would have been nice to have guidance like how many choices can I make before the final encounter is happening.


All in all a liked the theme and narrative and command you for your effort walking around your town at night to make photos for the backgrounds. Thank you =)

Great feedback, thank you! The UI was definitely something that we wished we had more time to perfect. Adding a counter to track progress until the end is a cool idea!

Really great story and fun voice acting! This game took a totally different approach to the world of darkness than I’ve ever seen before with a really novel concept. Great job to the entire team!!!

"Nobody must know that I am bigfoot". Hahahahaha.

Props to everyone who worked on this.  Was also pleasantly surprised to hear the game have voice acting. Really helped give the game life.

I do wish that there was some kind of save or skip function to try different options, but I'm guessing that was not feasible due to time limitations.

Developer(+2)

A save/load function is definitely going to be in another iteration. You're right that time constraints affected that, haha. Glad you liked it!

Absolute laugh riot! Loved the tone and had a super fun time. Nice job :)
