Hello! I read your patreon message but since I couldn't respond there, I'll do it here if you don't mind. I'm really just glad to hear from you.
Making a game is hard but life is harder so there's no shame or need to apologize when you need to put your life first. I myself have dealt with mental health problems and it can be devastating to the imagination. But don't think it's taken away your talent!
I wish I could give more advice on your financial situation. One thing that I've started doing for my own patreon is weekly updates like videos I'm working on. If you're comfortable sharing, I'm sure people would love to hear about your thought processes on things in your games, or any little discoveries or adventures you've had through the week. Believe me coming up with things to put on a patreon is hard, so please don't feel bad or that you owe anything to anyone! I did really enjoy seeing the sketches of your characters.
Remember that YOU and your mental health come first, no matter how long it takes. You don't owe anyone anything, and especially when you don't have the energy to give!
I would want you to take care of yourself and be okay. Don't give up hope! (also i ask if I may have Ramsey's hand in marriage)
Thank you so much! I remember you left a nice message in the past too when I tweaked my wrist. I really appreciate your understanding. I'm not sure that patreon was right for me but when things are more stable, I'll think on other ways to share my progress. And you can have Ramsey if you can deal with him of course, haha!
Hey there, I just read your Patreon post (since I'm subbed to you there for free I can't comment there, so I hope you don't mind me writing this here).
I completely understand you. And I want you to know you don't owe us anything. I know it might feel that way since you already published a demo etc. - I don't make games but I write, and I can speak from experience there, at least 😅 - but trust me, you really don't. We get to play this for free, after all, and even if we didn't, I'd still very much understand the daunting pressure of it all.
I am excited to see where this story might go, to see the full game, but nothing is more important than your health. You take all the time you need, alright? No matter how long it takes. If you finish your games, that's great, and if you don't, that's also great!
Thanks so much! I didn't realize when I made the post that free members couldn't comment. Ough. But I appreciate you finding a way to reply here. I really hope to come back to it!
I can't even explain how much I loved this game, the Demo is amazing and the characters are so perfect! When will the full game be out? I can't wait to play it
Really enjoyed the demo, and I really hope this isn't abandoned. I'd love some sign of life from the creator in one of their socials, because this is good stuff!
Already really liked this! And actually made me chuckle several times. E.g. at the GIF of a small bat flying me through the night, lol, or when Nicolae said something along the lines of, "No, you'd slit your own throat if you danced with sabers like I do. And I won't eat off the floor like a dog." Honestly there were several funny moments, really enjoy the humor of this game, haha. I also found it funny how accurate this game got me already (e.g. when Nicolae fronted me for staying up so late).
But just in general this was a v fun experience, I'm hooked. I wonder when you'll release the full game 🧛♀️ really excited to play it!
I am really do hope you can have good ending with Nicolae >3> together forever <3 if catch my dift ( I also fell funny about Nicolae as well being sweet to his dinner XD it's like me flirting with my turkey dinner XD)
ILV IT LIKEEE IT'S SO GOOD IM SO EXCITED FOR THE FULL VERSION TY FOR YOUR WORK AND HOPE YOU HAVE FREE TIME TO MAKE THE FULL VERSION OF THE GAME!!✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧
I really liked this demo. The characters and situation are super intriguing, and I appreciate how high-quality the writing was. Going the extra mile to let me pick my body type and pronouns did wonders for immersion and made the atmosphere even better.
OH my gosh this was so much fun!! I had to come on here and say something because I couldn't stop thinking about this game after I played it! The art is already gorgeous as is the music, it's the perfect type of "Vampiery vibe" that I adore! I expected myself to be all for Nicolae but all the interacts with Ramsey really stole my heart (even the bad ones)! I'm so glad you can impress him as well! I'd love to know more about both of these characters, and I can already tell a lot of love and hard work has been put into this! this is setting up to be an amazing game ! I will put a link to my playthrough here when it's done, I hope you enjoy it!
huge fan, looking forward to the full thing. question; would the full thing be free, or would it cost money? either way, i would be happy to pay or just play!
Sorry about that! I find that after typing in the name, swiping back a couple of times will close the keyboard. I plan to change the card system out so that the name entry is a separate screen on mobile in the future because of this issue.
I was immediately drawn in by the character design! Love the music placed throughout- really elevates the whole experience. Also appreciated the potion bottle and the rose/skull graphic 😌🤌 Really interested to find out more about these characters! :D
Loving what I see! I will note that when the screen zooms in it shakes, I was in windows mode so that might've been a factor. But other then that it ran smoothly and I can't wait for the full game!
I really enjoyed this demo! The art is nice and I appreciate the effort to include customisation for the player. I noticed a few things that aren’t necessarily errors or anything tho but just wanted to comment in-case they haven’t been brought up yet.
Firstly, when Ramsey comes into your room with a transition from the right to left, I found that if you didn’t let it play out (and clicked to progress as it is playing) he stops in whatever place he was at during the click. It’s not game-breaking or anything, I just rolled back and let it play out, it kinda gave me the impression he was peeking in from behind the door LOL! Even with transitions turned off it plays out like that so I don’t think it was because of that.
The second is during the sword fighting mini-game he favours attacking a lot (he chose to attack 3x in a row on my first playthrough.) I am guessing his moves are supposed to be random, but with only 3 actions that randomness is very limited. I don’t know how much love/affection you can curry up with him to that point, but if his movesets were impacted by that it would add a nice little detail for anyone who is watching out for it!
But even without that, the mini-game is fun imo. I liked the fact that it isn’t time-based as someone who has issues with my hand joints (thanks to stuff like carpal tunnel and lifting-related injuries lol) I find those very stressful, so the menu-approach is great and does not take away from the experience of it at all. In fact, I find that it probably helps to an extent, because when you are fencing or fighting you need to examine your opponent and think ahead, and the menus give the player this opportunity. I kind of wish it was a bit longer in all honesty!
I can’t wait for a full or extended demo, this was a really interesting game to experience! :]
Thanks for all the feedback! Yeah, I noticed the Ramsey animation issue, though I thought it only did that when Skipping. If it only happened then, I wasn't going to worry about it, but looks like I'll have to look more into that!
And yeah, the actions are randomized so sometimes he will choose the same one multiple times. But there is a single relationship effect that can happen in that fight. If Ramsey hates your character right away, something different happens on round 3 of the fight!
I’ve seen that sort of lag with the animations (when its like coded into script and not just a transparent .mov file) and I havent seen anything as to how to fix it unfortunately :[
oop not me going back to annoy him </3 i’m sorry sir i am a completionist i must do this (T o T)

I'm excited for the full game!
(Do you have a release date for the full game?)
ILV IT LIKEEE IT'S SO GOOD IM SO EXCITED FOR THE FULL VERSION TY FOR YOUR WORK AND HOPE YOU HAVE FREE TIME TO MAKE THE FULL VERSION OF THE GAME!!✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧
I tried the demo but already when I entered the name I couldn't press any further or do anything else, after the 3 times repeat I gave up.
I already love it so much >_<
I'm a sucker for more "traditional" portray of vampires (pun not intended). Also, when will the full game be released???
i couldn't get more than 2 ways of die💀
I LIVE LAUGH LOVE THIS SO MUCH OMGGG I can't wait for more!!
This is so well done!!
I really liked this demo. The characters and situation are super intriguing, and I appreciate how high-quality the writing was. Going the extra mile to let me pick my body type and pronouns did wonders for immersion and made the atmosphere even better.
Loved it! Keep us the good work <3

Here is my playthrough! I hope you enjoy watching as much as I enjoyed playing it!
huge fan, looking forward to the full thing. question; would the full thing be free, or would it cost money? either way, i would be happy to pay or just play!
Heyo! The final version will be free with the option to tip!
sweet! not to nag, but any idea when that will be?
I had hoped to get it done in a month but at the speed I'm working it's probably more like two, haha.
still, looking forward to the full thing! thanks for answering the questions, hope to see the full thing soon!
oh wow, you work quicker than most authors I know lol. No need to worry about working slower than you wanted to.
This was so much fun and I loved, loved, loved this demo! Both Nicolae and Ramsey are so entertaining, and I'm so hyped for the full game.
I can't go past that card where you enter your name and stuff??
I'm on mobile, it just doesn't let me turn the keyboard down. I can only enter my name, any other option is covered by keyboard.
Sorry about that! I find that after typing in the name, swiping back a couple of times will close the keyboard. I plan to change the card system out so that the name entry is a separate screen on mobile in the future because of this issue.
THIS LOOKS FUN
Very fun demo. Also the animated image of Nicolae just carrying people as a tiny bat is too cute <3
Loving what I see! I will note that when the screen zooms in it shakes, I was in windows mode so that might've been a factor. But other then that it ran smoothly and I can't wait for the full game!
