Wow, this was a very ambitious game, it’s a very cool concept! I enjoyed the story and dialogue. The writing and jokes were pretty good. I was a little confused on how the actual gameplay worked, since the hero always ends up going through all the rooms, but I was still invested in the story.
Great work!

Time WindowsThe story was very funny and I love the idea of a vampire lord having to do HR paperwork. I didn't understand why Mr hammer thrower would suddenly run past all the defenders

Party PoopersArtwork, ambiance and dialogues were fun. The gameplay missed a health bar for the heroe, since the two first days I didn't understand why it would smash some guard then speedrun his way to the counter.

Finder SqueakersOk, so this is like a visual novel meets tower defense. I wish that it wasn't inevitable that the guy with the hammers could get through but I guess you can't win them all. For this story to work he has to get by the guards anyway right? Well I can say that it is crafty this idea could be expanded upon, and in a way that could make future playthroughs more fun and engaging. Keep up the good work!!

0 DayI really liked this twist of a visual Novel. The whole 5-day countdown until the vampire retires is a great concept, and the game has really great potential. That being said, the combat system is very unclear… most of the time I had no idea what I was actually doing or how it was supposed to work but it was fun.

The Last LanternReal fun dialogue, very creative writing and theme interpretation. While this type of game isn't really my "cup of blood", objectively the game is really well thought out and executed well. Not sure if I would have to get further into the game but I did not entirely understand the defense system.
Good job!

The Count is Down!That was really. Lots of funny and sharp writing! Not sure how the combat is supposed to work. I deploy units to the rooms but they dont seem to do anything half the time.

Count DowneyThis was cool! The writing and story were great. I had a hard time understanding what was going on with the combat and how my guard choices were affecting the outcome.

Take Down the CountI like the idea of the game, great art and sounding. I couldn't understand why half of the staff I hired did not fight but maybe I did something wrong. Still, I played untill the end and I liked the game very much.

KitemancerFirst off, the puns and jokes are great. I absolutely love them, especially all of the counting ones. I think for me, I was a little confused with the mechanics. I attempted putting a large number of people in the first room to wear down the hero, but he just ... skipped later rooms without interacting with the people in them and raided me anyway. I tried spreading them out, one employee per room and he just ... raided me anyway. I tried throwing multiple people in each room in hopes of SOMEONE stopping him, but he either skipped them, beat one then vandalized the room anyway... I'm not quite sure what I'm missing, but I still enjoyed myself!
