Review
This game was fun, though it is definitely a mixed bag.
Its starting premise reminds me of the old ‘my parents sold me to One Direction’ stories for some reason. You play as someone who is in a group that was throwing rocks at a house full of vampires, even though you yourself didn’t do it. But then it turns out your family needs a place to stay, and the vampires invite you in, while the beautiful daughter blackmails you into doing chores since you she saw what you were doing.
There’s a large part in the intro where you get settled in and have a few days at school interacting with both the vampire family and some new friends. Then the game shifts to a daily pattern where a bit of plot happens, then you can hang out with friends (advancing a romance counter), exercise, study, etc.
The characters are cool. I liked Malka, a goth a lot, though I didn’t learn how to earn more money, and she stopped hanging out with me when I didn’t buy goth clothes, so I may need to replay (I checked the code to read her final ending).
Because I didn’t get to the end of any romance scenes, the game just ends on a cliff. My grades didn’t matter; my athleticism didn’t matter. The story just says “You can’t think of anyone to take to the dance” and ends.
Overall, I liked the eager writing style, the way it leaned heavily into relationship tropes but doing them ‘right’ for my tastes, the way it handled a mortal gaining forbidden knowledge, and the daily pattern that helped me plan and strategize between different goals. It has tons of ratings on the app, likely due to its age but also to the fun storyline. I wish it had a better ending, though, for sure!
