I loved the concept and the art, especially when you slay the vampire. I liked the music too and thought it suited the game very well. The first time I played it, it was a bit confusing to know how to deduce who is the vampire but the second time around after rereading the tips it wasn't very hard at all. Fun game!

Cool game!! I like the murder mystery vibes mixed with the vampire theme. I wish there were more levels

An hourglass before the trialNicely done! This looks great and feels very polished! It's quick and fun, so I am really only left wishing there was a bit more to it, but its a game made in four days so I'd say that's a good thing!

Dead of NightThis was a really fun concept delivered in a beautiful visual and sound package! I was initially confused by what the purpose of the buttons were, given one of them does an action and the other two are just markers; but once I caught on, I was actually able to figure out what I needed to to identify the vampire. Nicely done! I would love to see this concept expands further, because the idea of no-lock in confirmation in deduction games that otherwise do (like obra dinn) has always excited me. Nicely done!

Cut the FloofI really appreciate the thorough reply!
Implementing "Mark as:" buttons seemed like such an obvious place to start, but as soon as I put a second of thought into it, I realized that "mark innocent" is the first button people would look for and it just didn't make sense in this case. So suddenly I was left with "mark thrall" and "mark sus", which I just ran with. I really should have had text descriptions pop up to make things more clear, huh?
There's definitely a cool puzzle system in here if I could actually figure it out. The core game loop contradicted itself whenever I tried things like "thralls always lie", and I just couldn't get to the bottom of it before the 4-day Count Down count down counted down. I knew it was a little half-baked but that's why we're here, right? Thanks so much, friend.
I like it, even though I don't fully understand how the game works

Down with the COUNTI don't know if its just my computer but the text "A human has turned into a Thrall" does not appear but the box where it suppossed to show up in the screenshot does. Same goes for the exit button after the game ends.
