i want to bite this story
You really managed to weave together a lot of disparate things here! I felt for Ethel/dred/Adele and it's a shame she wasn't able to overcome her worse tendencies, but I hope Alice does well in her new unlife.
i loved the hypertext - the worldbuilding footnotes of the vampire mechanics was a treat to read (a highlight of the piece for me), and cycling through the names at the end was such a cool interactive element. a very strong mood throughout. well done!
adetheldred you are the type of person id love to see bleed out in front of me. this was an amazing read i love how it handled links to highten its storytelling
I’ve been having nosebleeds in real life a lot over the past few months and halfway through playing this I was half convinced that it was going to start again. Thank you, very immersive game. I’m a fan of Alice.
loved the fresh lore elements, always impressive to put a spin on vampire stories that feels new! and congrats for drawing out real pathos from a song as ubiquitous as Don't Stop Believin'
