This game is absolutely marvellous! This team is clearly very talented and dedicated.
The story is intriguing and every small choice has an impact. There are fifteen different endings! That's crazy! I spent a lot of time trying to collect them all (currently missing #8 and #13, any hint is well accepted) and I was never bored, as they are all quite distinct from one another and all add something to the bigger picture.
It' clear that they put a lot of attention in the narrative, in the visual details, and also in the more technical aspects of the game.
The characters are aesthetically very pleasing, well-written and all so mysterious in their motives that I was truly left hungry for more. I hope you're planning on expanding this concept into a larger game, because the story and characters deserve it, and I'd definitely buy it.
I strongly recommend everyone to give this a try, you won't be disappointed.
Thanks a lot for your review! It means a lot to us and we are very happy to know you had so much fun playing it!
Unfortunately, the game is part of a game jam, and the rights to the brand are reserved for the event only. On the other hand, if you want to know more about the characters, their history, and their motivations we made a sourcebook to adapt them to tabletop RPG Vampire: the Maskerade. It is free to download at the link below. It contains spoilers about what happens in ending #8.
I played for about half an hour and got four of the fifteen achievements. I really enjoy the concept of this small snippet of story, observable from many vantages in many short playthroughs. I think it's a rather brilliant way to approach a game jam. I thought the background panes were wonderful. Onyx, the Toreador Sire with the two-tone bob haircut was by far my favorite sprite. Excellent replayability. I intend to revisit this after I've played some other games so I can view the other endings.
Adorei a atmosfera do game. As músicas estão sensacionais. Vou tentar pegar todos os finais, fiquei intrigado que tem 15. O primeiro final que consegui foi o Almost. Grande trabalho, pessoal!

It's hard to give tips that don't give too much information, but I'll put some info below. It's a kinda walkthrough, tho.

Tips:
Ending #8:
- be super nice and flattering to Onyx
- the cult must be guilty
- Alex has a good clue about feeding and blood
Ending #13:
- be mean to Onyx one time
- you think the cult is guilty, but you say it's not
Jogo maravilhoso! Entrega a temática e o visual da quinta edição de maneira primorosa. Recomendo baixar.
Obrigado pelo suporte =)

Thanks a lot, it is very gratifying to receive this kind of feedback.
We intent to play all games too, but first we need to solve all things we left aside and recover from the burnout of making a game.
