I was thinking would I have liked some roguelike vampire-survivors mechanics, or would that detract from the focus and was the story enough to keep me playing? I think you could argue for both. The notes were a little depressing but also very relatable ;(. I would have liked to see more upswing arc for the owner hahah.
Eventually around room 7+ I realized I could just run from corner to corner without barking and no new enemies would spawn in.
Nice entry though, very cute and wholesome ending.
