The Board of Regents

Puzzle-filled mini-text adventure seemingly set in the Little Match Girl universe but without any reference to Ebenezabeth, Scrooge, or any of that series' regulars. You are a female vampire looking to get onto the board that governs urban vampire society by persuading each interviewer to vote for you. Naturally this involves solving basic puzzles for each member: dealing with nuisance noisy kids, bluffing your way through playing chess, navigating a maze, finding a secret word, etc. An in-game item provides guidance in the form of crossword puzzle clues, which can get very devious.

A cool "Vampire The Masquerade"-esque setting, an excellent player-character who hopefully takes the stage in further games, and a delicious cast of NPCs. Blood-sucking fun.
