Visually sumptuous and morally complex--the traditional foundation for a good vampire story! For all the game starts out with a singular purpose and simple premise, Cyrus' complex emotions and ambivalence toward Mikael unfold with nuance and care--and even if the Good Ending doesn't line up with Cyrus' initial purpose at the start of the day, or resolve the root of his (justified) anger and trauma, it still feels natural and makes sense. ✨ I love how tactile and cozy the artwork feels, and the writing is crisp and well-conceived. Impressive work--thank you for sharing Cyrus' story with us! 🫶

This was very interesting! I tried so hard to kill him, omagod! I did my best, so I got Bad endings few times and a Neutral once haha  ~~ But still can't get a good or a happy one. And a kiss?? There should be a kiss, right?^^ I loved the writing - it's so beautiful, and also music choice is good, not a fan of chibi looks though, but it's just me ~~ Good job!

Thank you for playing!! :D I’m glad you liked the writing! ^^

Spoilers!

Yes there is a kiss in the good ending HAHA

To get it you can try spending more time with Mikael (don’t poison him in the morning) and be nice to Henri ^^;;;

I really enjoyed the story. I played through twice and will play through one more time when I have the time- I wonder if the bastard can be killed? Lol.

- I'd say all the characters are likeable. Even the terrible cook (Henri, I think?).
- The plot is easy to follow. The options to choose weren't tricky at all and felt reasonable. I like the flow of time; the pacing feels good. The game doesn't take itself too seriously while still being someone serious and sticking to it's dark themes.
- Music and sound design are on point. I really enjoyed the impactful sound of going to a different time of day. Reminds me of Dark Souls a little.

10/10 would try to kill a vampire lord again(and fail, probably)

Nice work!
Developer

Thank you for playing and leaving a review! Just curious which endings did you get?

I’m really glad to hear you like the characters (even poor Henri HAHA) And yes the game idea is intended to be pretty silly ^^
