Hi! A cool game, thank you for the experience :)
I liked the charming characters, the humor and the overall cohesive and cozy-spooky atmosphere that you managed to create even though the visuals (mainly backgrounds) were of different style and mood! I also liked the idea of a law-abiding vampire who tries his best to be a good citizen. And the Van Helsing turned out to be such a reasonable man, haha. Great worldbuilding! And of course I very much liked the vampire jokes :)
One thing that I'd like to comment on is that I felt that there was a bit too much randomness. I was at first not quite sure what my goal at the shop was. It seemed like my character is much more aware of what is happening than I am, and dice rolling came out totally of the blue for me :) Once or twice I also got confused by the choices: for example, in my second walkthrough I clicked "Bite him" only to learn that I won't actually bite him! Or when I choose "care for the plant?" I first thought that I was going to think whether or not I should actually care, or maybe I had to find some ways how I could take care of the flower...But these are minor things :)
I was sometimes not sure which outcome I get and how impactful my choices are. Or do dice rolls play a greater role here? I rolled 18 on a stalker but for some reason it didn't help me. Is 18 too little?
I am also interested if reading journal articles about recipes is there for me just to learn about them, or does it impact my gameplay? I was also sure that there would be new entries as I was offered to read the journal a couple of times, sadly I couldn't find anything new :)
I had fun playing! Wishing you luck with your entry.
