This is super fun, and itch browser version works great on Android! I totally recommend working it into a mobile game, I'd play this a lot :) 

In the jam version, there's none! We're planning an expanded version where time limits may be a thing, though :) 

We're doing both for the post-jam version! One of the things we didn't have time to implement for the jam was an additional pick-up resource layer, where you can boost your economy shortly with found loot, which should help with the rising difficulty level (and promote expansion in other directions). We'll keep the page updated :) 

FIRST COMMENT

Thank you, we're fixing it now!

Thank you!

Had tons of fun playing your game and wanted to rate it on Ludum Dare, but there's no link in description and there's no way to search by name on LD page :( Can you pls add link?

This is really adorable and a great job for just 72 hours! I had a lot of fun taming the dinos and petting them afterwards :) 

This is such a huge compliment, thank you SO much! 

This game is adorable! Great job drawing all the charms, I had so much fun collecting them!

in this build, cashier character with good speed is a ready-made cheat combo to get insane numbers :') I'm working on an expanded version of this game right now that will eliminate similar loops, thank you for reporting! 

Good find, thank you! I'll look into what might've caused that, I think the bug stems from a cashier character role loop that often results in wild numbers!

Hey! It's probably because you haven't bought a table! You need at least one more table to start serving your customers. Tutorial says it, but it's my bad for forcing player action to start the game loop, should've put the first table there by default :) 

This was super fun! Love the asset work and the mechanics, I only reached level 5 on my first playthrough, but planning to try my luck again :) 

Really great asset work, and it has FISHING! Big plus :) 

That was really well done! I really like the overcharging mechanic, it was fun to gamble on gains while deciding on when to attack.

Hey, can you put a Ludum Dare link in the description? Not sure how to find your game there!

Wow that was super pretty and fun! I'd love a dating sim on that premise tbh :) 

Really interesting idea! Would love to see more puzzles in the future!

Absolutely gorgeous asset work, great character sprites, beautiful board for the card game, and great music/sound effects. I haven't beaten it yet as Genepil keeps on running out of health, but I'll try more :) 

Hey folks, if you're looking for a group to jam with, here are some sources of great people:

The jam is now over! The competition was fierce, and the decision was tough - we played all of your games, and discussed (screamed, yelled, torpored and diablerized) a lot before we've picked our favorites. Many more games from the jam deserve recognition, and we cannot stress enough the encouragement for all Vampire: The Masquerade fans to play more of them - there are some true gems out there! 

But, alas, the top three was chosen...

The winners, picked by World of Darkness Brand Team, are: 

• First place: Heartless Lullaby
• Second place: Praxis
• Third place: Waning Crescent

We mentioned more games in our website article and announcement stream. Thank you so much for participating! 

Hello everyone! I will be joined by Sean Greaney, WoD Brand Manager live on Thursday, 17:00 CET / 11 AM EST / 8 AM PT on World of Darkness Twitch stream to announce the winners of this jam!

News will be also shared on WoD website, Discord and social media, and the full stream will be available to watch on YouTube soon later. 

See you there! 

Sure, I try not to give critique for games unless asked, mainly because I don't want to suggest that you have to put these changes in - simply, it's a learning experience for everyone, and with next jams and next games things will only go better! The main issue OMaH has was the crashes, for one of the team members the game crashed after night 2, and they weren't able to proceed. Further in the game it seemed like more testing early could do a lot, to weed out any potential bugs. 

On my end,  I liked having to pick the right people for the job, but I'd love to see characters more fleshed out throughout the game - you started really strong with showing beautiful pictures of them, which could suggest they all have their own story, desires and agenda throughout the game, but I didn't feel like it later on! 

It took me back to the good old days, loved to see a classic retro game in the jam, and it was executed in a very faithful way to the genre!

Safely in my top 5 visual novels of the jam! Great combination of Dark Pack assets with your own, done with style, my choices felt like they mattered, and I was able to unlock two endings, one of which was very wholesome!

Great job on your first game! I liked the usage of Him as a sort of steering "secondary narrator" of the plot, and making him ask protagonist for things that determine what kind of a vampire we are. Great use of the assets and music too!

I was scared and I loved it! I especially like the recordings on a PC down in the basement, the story really grasped me good, and kudos on making protagonist a regular unknowing human - it added to the mystery!

I'm a sucker (lol) for Thinblood stories, so it was right up my alley! Loved the setting and beautiful character sprites, all three of them were very interestingly written and I'd love to roleplay with them if I could :)

Kudos for working on a quite niche topic from Cults of the Blood Gods, it started really strongly and had nice writing!

Super beautiful art, please give huge kudos to your artist! The idea of vampire therapist is something that definitely needs to be explored more, it's true that Kindred need therapy more than anyone!

You aimed for a super ambitious scope for just a month of development, sometimes I was wondering whether you got inspired by Night Road with how many little choices you included (picking the colour and name of our horse, even)! It's easily one of the biggest games in the jam!

Thank you SO much for including multiple language versions, it helps our community so much! I loved how characters in your game looked like, and how quickly we were thrown in to a story - I felt it to be a bit Cults of the Blood Gods inspired at first, which I really liked!

Blood Shift had such a great idea, and the visuals were stunning! I found the mechanic of "combining polaroids with sentences to form a logical statement" super cool!

Thank you so much for submitting your game to the jam! I loved the music in yours, and the take on the fledgling story - focusing on the first year and surviving through it was a great idea!

Super ambitious take for a first game, you allowed tons of choices in your game and it felt like it branched a plenty! I was actually wondering what the initial setting was inspired by, as it was very unusual in comparison to other games in the jam!

It was one of the first games I played, and it reminded me of really fun "idle" strategy games on mobile I used to play - I liked seeing my numbers go up with good construction decisions, and the little events happening during the game added to it!

Tzimisce fans will have a blast playing your game, as you really went full in to portray the clan in a way that fits it well! I liked how you didn't went full Andrei on your Tzimisce take, either, and included motives of hope and keeping to one's humanity there. Loved my ending!

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!

The concept/hook of your game was one of my favorite from the whole jam, it's such a good idea for a chronicle that I will for sure use at my table one day! It almost felt like it originated from some really cool roleplaying session!
