Ratings and reviews

The writing and grammar are good. The choices are limited to whether you are a vampire, human, or werewolf and whether you choose melee or ranged in the beginning. The characters were distinct and relatable but this reads more like a novel. There were parts where I could have made a choice but it was made for me in the narrative. I didnt like this one too much because the narrative had a tendency to railroad. Minor differences between playthroughs. Branching path coming back to main path.

It reads like a novel, I wanted to see what happens next! Few minor bugs, but nothing to distract from the story. The choices made directly affect the direction where the story goes, different paths are possible. I would have liked to be able to actually use the magic and learn more spells. It feels like it could be a Book 1 of a bigger story, I would like to explore what happens after werewolf/vampire transformation. I like that it feels like the same be world used for Vampire House.

Several spots still have placeholders instead of finalized text. There are many places with missing words in sentences. The "stat" screen has almost nothing, and halfway through goes from show an unchanging 100/100 health to a n inexplicable -900/100 for the rest of the story.
