Could have been better
While this is basically a “chose your own adventure” graphic novel, your decisions feel inconsequential and only affect some minor details about how some events in the middle of the story play out. You can’t really screw it up even when you make choices that should screw it up. And no matter what you do, with any of the three different starting characters you get to choose from, the ending is always the same. You have no way to actually alter the journey, just color some flavor on the way. Would have been nice if you could have made some bad choices that actually got you killed, or some intuitive choices that positively changed the ending. As-is it was neat enough and worth the $5, but it could have been so much more. Think I will pass on the sequel.

Unappealing
This is a visual novel which I’m fine by. I was loving the story.
But then it comes to an abrupt end with no real ending.
Worse of all: there are interesting side tasks, but you can never get a chance to complete them as the main boring story grabs you. I suppose the developers expect you to replay but I’m not replaying when the first run thru was so terrible.
Again , the story was going good , I guess the company is just greedy and wants to you pay for the sequel. But I’m not paying— I refuse to support this “keep paying us if you want the whole story”. No thanks

Ugh
Absolute waste of $5…. I didn’t want to read a book…
Great game
Love the VTMB universe this game has been really fun so far
Good Game, hoped for more.
The story is good, but I don’t like the game.
You may as well just read the plot in a book. Especially in the beginning, there are many dialogues with only options that force you into bad situations.
Even if there are options you CAN pick that are different from what you are “expected” to pick, it seems like it would generally result in a game over. I don’t know this for sure because I only did it once. It immediately ended the game and deleted my save.
In short: Good story but choice appears to be an illusion.

An excellent romp as a vampire
Masterfully done, I feel like I am really inside this world. Heavy immersion. Excellent story pacing, nice subtle sound effects that draw you in. I am EXTREMELY impressed with this game.
The story is exquisite, impressive writing. I won’t say more, for fear of spoiling the story.
There are characters, each seeming to have their own story (I’m guessing at this) I am not playing Amanda. With the three characters and if each unique story… then we have replay-ability here. I look forward to the other two stories.
This is for anybody who like, loves the following:
✅ visual novels
✅ interactive fiction
✅ choose your own adventures? (cyoa)
✅ tell tale games
This is a love letter for you, buy it.. enjoy it.
