I'm a programmer and that was about it for this project, I couldn't think of too many unexpected things unfortunately, there is some riddles and humor and progression involved, it's a demo

Anything you want to say to players before they play?
It's text based and is keyboard only as that's what .bat games are limited, like there is ascii but I don't know how to draw vampires in ascii, sound and mouse also not a thing with this language, so kinda tough bones to pick with.

This was okay, but I did not see much interesting happening.

Cool text-based game! This probably the game that weighs the lowest in terms of size in this jam. I think it would've been more fun if the text was more expressive and if it wasn't repeating a lot.

This reminds me of games I used to play on my calculator!  Could use a bit more descriptive text to let you know what's happening, and maybe your current power state etc.

Ok! So, that was pretty interesting... I feel like the game loop was a bit dry at times, especially since I had to start over a couple times and it felt somewhat punishing to get back where I was.  I'm not sure exactly what the goal was overall, I was just trying to get as far as I could.  However, I did badly.  After a couple play-throughs, I felt like I had to give up.  The most unexpected thing was not having enough heal tokens and then randomly dying hahaha

OVerall, I liked teh little text game idea a lot! Let me know if there's a lot more to it than I realized.

Um well I can give ya helpful advice, you want to Fight on 1st move and heal up to 10 then you want to fight at 2/3 HP and heal back up to that, then about 30 to 35 sucks in you wanna "Stuff a shoe" then what you wanna do is Music when you become a vampire unless you have uncanny memory and Fight only 10 times as a human, because the hidden factor is the Shoe Stuffing is the vampire fangs, and if that's not in your shoe to make money well then the fangs on hand hurt and haunt you! Also stuffing a shoe converts to Money for you to use as a Vampire as those fangs are sold. Hopefully this info helps you some, and that's part of the puzzle a player had to solve, but I feel like I can tell ya the deeper meaning of that shoe. Cheers! :)
