I like the idea of an Ace Vampire who's method of feeding feels like cruising, essentially forced to pursue what amounts to one-night stands for their survival. The makeout moment did feel natural, but it felt odd that it came shortly after both characters proclaim to be grey-ace; not that folks have to be beholden to a label or anything, it's just not something I would make out with a stranger over. It was nice to see Zach actually find a moment of connection, and the choices all suggesting that there's a part of Zach that's panicking and finding all of this too good to be true and unable to accept that something good could happen to him.

I like how radically different the presentation is! A point and click display, but I'm only able to move the mouse with the arrow keys on my keyboard. The pixel art was cute too, good use of a limited color pallet. 

I haven't been to many weddings myself, so the pressure of having a 'plus 1' is something I've never experienced. Heck, one of the few weddings I attended I was a plus 1 for a friend who's boyfriend couldn't attend, so I'm puzzled as to why everyone involved can't just be chill about someone coming alone or bringing a friend. Weddings do have a way of making romantic pressure feel stronger though, intentional or not.

Just the biggest hug to the protag. I'm touched that being ace is what gave him the strength to stand up to a groomer and cut him from their life

The visuals, UI and sound all worked really nicely together to illustrate the experience. I, too, felt sick to my stomach when that tongue makeout happened, and the younger version of me who went through through a similar experience felt vindicated. Still always appreciate a narrative around asexuality that still shows a yearning to be held, comforted and love, just on your own terms.

ah yes the familiar melancholy of being asexual. 5/5
