Hi ebane67.  The readme file has some explanations about each section and how to use it.  I made Azar Oracle years ago and I don´t remember some things but if you have any specific doubts you can ask here and I´ll try to answer the best I can.  Cheers!

Hi Wayne Snee thanks for your kind words.  Certainly the game needs a better way to clarify its mechanics.  Changing the text/map icons colors is really a good idea, thanks for trying the game!

I finally got to play this game and is great.  Beautiful and polished.  I´ll replay it to make a different choice but I really liked that it was impossible to be sure what were the "correct" choices.

Well written and beautifully done, congrats!

Love the idea and the map is really cool.  The location´s pictures are a great addition.  I´m having a problem with the screen resolution however.  My screen is 1600x1200 and part of the game is left out.

Hi DoomedDM, the file you download from here is a 7z compressed format.  You need some compression software like 7zip, winrar or winzip (I´m sure there´s more programs but these´re the most used I think) to extract the file.

Extract the file in a new folder.  Within that new folder you´ll find a Tophet.exe file and another folder named Data.  You double click the Tophet.exe file and that´s it.

This game is great.  Love the rpg-strategy mix and the events are interesting.  I only miss a save option.  Great work!

Hi, mirta000!

Thanks for playing the game.  I wanted to add a "storyteller mode" like the Night Road game has so players could know what stats are using but I really had no time in one month.  Almost all the places have more than one purpose.  I know it´s very confusing sometimes.

A mini-guide for the feeding part of the game.

Places where you can get blood.

-Sants: Hunting some sleeping person, checks dexterity+stealth, increases the Sandman Predator type.    

-Raval: Seducing some prey at Magnus Lounge, has multiple social checks, increases the Siren Predator type.                                                       

-Ciutadella: Visiting the zoo, checks of stealth and larceny, increases the Farmer Predator type.                                                                 

-Encants: Buying blood has no skill checks but you need one Resources point.  Increases the Bagger Predator type.                        

-Besòs: Stalking and assaulting someone, has brawl+strength check and a stealth check to not get a Masquerade violation.  Increases the Alleycat Predator type .                                       

 -Poblenou: talking with your mawla (Malta or Salvador) has no skill checks but deteriorates your relation with her/him.  Increases the Consensualist Predator type.  Later in the game you can build a Meditation Center at your haven.  There´s some social checks to feed on your acolytes.  Increases the Osiris Predator type.  

-There´s a quest at the Maresme Fòrum where you can feed on one kindred.  Only the first part of the quest is there, I had no time for more. Increases your Blood leech Predator type.                                          

-There was going to be another way to get blood and increase the Scene Queen Predator type.  I wrote it but had no time to code it so it´s not in the game. 

You can ignore almost all the skill checks if you´ve appropiate disciplines.  The game takes note of how do you feed and assigns you a predator type.  Each predator type gives you different attributes, skills and disciplines bonus. 

I´ve updated the game after watching your video, I´m not a native english speaker so I´m happy you didn´t find a lot more grammar mistakes.  Anyway thanks a lot for trying the game and for the streamings you´re doing.  It was great to see someone playing it!                                                   

Hey, thanks AKinginDisguise!  Playtesting the game I´m noticing how easy is to die.  It seems I went pretty hardcore with the dice rolls requirements, oops!

Hi ryelle, I´d love to port the game to MAC and other OS.  It´s not impossible but for now I only try to hunt all the bugs I can. 

It´s more a prototype than a complete game but I´m happy you like the looks of it!

Hi ferallynx!

Can you give me more details?  When happened this?  This sounds like some problem loading the graphics.

The Tophet.exe must be in the same folder where the Data folder is so the graphics load correctly.

Are you using the 1.5 version? (I´ve seen some people still downloading the 1.2 build and this has even more bugs)

If the problem isn´t any of these look inside the Data folder, there´s two files named data and ndata.  Send me these two files to Azardev@protonmail.com and I'll take a look at them.

Thank you!  I´ve added some tips/spoilers about what to do at the game description page.  I know the game is really confusing, I really needed more time.  I´m really happy you liked the Hermione talk!

Hi Solriva, you´re 100% right, I needed more time to polish the game (and to include lots of content I wrote but had no time to code).  When you die you can use the "continue" button at the start screen so you don´t need to start from scratch. 
The game definitely needs ways to make information more accessible.
I´m very happy you liked the writing, I´m not very confident about my english skills so thank you!

Thanks for the feedbak, TechnoGoth.  The "main quest" has five chapters, between each chapter you´ve 30 days of freeplay to increase your skills or explore the city.  I wanted to include a "notes" or "objectives" screen but the project was too ambitious for one month.

Hey darthcrow!
7z is a compression format.  You can extract it using 7zip, winzip or other software like that.  This will give you a folder and an executable file.

Mucha suerte, una entrada increible para la jam.  Entalto Aragon!

Not yet.  I´m not sure how to share the game with the playtesters (if there´s anyone).  It´s possible to upload it here at itch.io  as a private project?

Hi all!  I´m putting a lot of work and having a lot of fun making my little game .  I´m looking for some native english speakers to help me proofreading my game (if they find some bugs and give me some feedback would be great too).

Tophet is a text game set in Barcelona.  You play as one of eight Vampire the Masquerade clans.  You´re embraced as a new kindred while a war between princes and a series of sinister disappearances threaten the city and your own survival. 

-There´s eight different companions but you can only have three each playthrough.  I hope this helps the replayability. 

-You roll the dice.  Having the same attributes and skills can provide different results.

-And more! (At least I hope so).

Bye!
