Hello, this looks like a decent start.

Issues I noticed while playing:

Text color is not sufficient to tell apart the characters when you introduce 3 of them all at once like that. Like, there's nothing to indicate which color aligns with which character.

Vampire Lady's font is distinct, but a little hard to read.

The art is pretty nice. Am I wrong or was this not always anime-styled?

Sprint meter depletes even while standing still if you press sprint. should probably check to see that you're actually moving

Okay, strange bug; First time I played the game I could open my inventory but could not equip the guns no matter how or where I clicked; Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to happen again on subesequent playthroughs, so I can't tell you why it happened.

You shoot when clicking back into the game after tabbing out. Might be annoying in a survival horror

You'll probably want a text popup for picking things up or using doors like you have for interacting with stuff in the world.


Grammatical issues I noticed:

Vampire Lady intro

shalln't is not a word I'm pretty sure, it contracts to shan't

She says "sleep with I" instead of "sleep with me". but you want to rephrase it as "sleep here" so it doesn't sound like she's asking the teen girls to have sex with her.

"I shall show thee to our humble dining room" - "thee" and "thou" are both singular, so it should just be regular ol' "you".
"I will show thou to thy room" Here you do need "thee" instead of "thou". Except I think she's talking to all the girls, not just Meredith, so it should be "I will show you to your rooms"

Wow, thanks for the detailed feedback and bug reports! Will definitely get on those. Glad you liked what was there, a lot more has been added since! It did indeed look different, I posted like two screenshots in the thread about a month ago where it was a more realistic style, but it looked kinda shit, so I went with the anime style, hopefully it doesn't look too 'soft' for a horror game. Also, there are supposed to be sexual undertones to the vampire asking her to bed, haha. Its a vampire story after all! Glad you picked up on it though, was worried it would fly past people. And shalln't is the old form of shan't, but good catch on the other grammar errors!


Will review yours when I get the chance.

The intro art is nice and the gameplay art deserves to be on the same level. Its biggest need right now is lighting. If it was my call I’d first experiment with dynamic lighting (maybe 3D level so you can use conventional lights and shadowcasters and keep the top down orthogonal cam).

Thought I was about to juke an enemy but still got attacked with a gap slightly longer than the enemy’s arms.

I eventually died and the restart took me all the way back to the start of the intro. Didn’t like that.

Gave it another go. The bucket I initially thought is a plate armor chest, lol.

When I couldn’t pick up the knife in the kitchen I had the first thought to check for an inventory and for some reason I had a better starter loadout than doomguy. Took 6 shells to find the cake, screw the other girls, are they even in there somewhere?

Thanks for playing and the detailed feedback! I'll definitely look into the lighting, and see about fixing the collisions on the ghoul's grab. As for the restart and the free guns and ammo, They're jsut for the demo day. The other girls aren't actually in the game yet, I plan to make branching event routes where they can either be saved or left to die (or killed).

Pixelated blackletter fonts are where readability goes to die.  I understand the aesthetic choice, but it needs either pixelated anti-aliasing or some other modification.

Is there anything to do yet other than run around the zombies?  Can't figure out any keys other than sprint.

Thanks for the feedback was in two minds as to whether to include the font change. I'll mess around with it some more. If you press tab you can pull up your inventory and equip your guns to shoot the enemies. Theres also a way to put out the fire involving a bucket in the kitchen... 'E' is pick up items.
