Vampire's Kiss

i really wanted to like this game. the first few chapters are great with beautiful imagery of the streets of London and the author introduces everything at a good pace, setting the story up to be about coming to terms with your loss of humanity and whether you choose to embrace it or fight against it. however, this internal conflict plot fades into the background as the main conflict between the two vampire factions suddenly shows up out of nowhere. you only briefly speak to the faction leaders about three times before you're forced to make a choice and side with one of them even though you've only just recently joined this vampire society and barely have a clue about what's going on. the romance is also very lacking and although the author tries to explain it away by saying that vampires feel love and hatred very quickly, you barely get to know any of the love interests before you're asked to make a choice about who to confess your love to. one of the love interests, alex, you only speak to about three times before you get together. the first time you meet them they're cold to you, the second time you meet them (if you choose to knock on their door) they're really friendly for no reason and let you inside, and the third encounter is if you decide to romance them?? it just feels like the author got bored after the first chapters and decided to rush it, skipping over character development and subplots. this had so much potential and it's sad to think it could've been something great.

I would say that the story is good but as a smut fanatic I was kind disappointed that it was not explicit enough for a 3 spicy meter. Instead of 3 spicy it should be listed as 2 spicy and I would not docked some points for making me feel disappointed because the story got the vibe going making it an interesting read. Need more romance also.

All i can say is wow, i loved it. The storytelling, plot, lore, atmosphere and effort put into this story is astounding. Im not always able to finish games by this publisher (not the story writer themself, but other choice of story games), i get bored or annoyed with how it's written or seeming illogic to events, but not here. I enjoyed the battles, the dialogue, the intimacy and character writing, it's all amazing. --Minor Spoilers Ahead-- It's undulgent, i know, but i only wish it were longer! a few empty days where you could socialise with your friends and lover, perhaps a few more events to choose for after the ending? Perhaps reforming the vampiric norms, overthrowing it, or letting it remain (or none at all) depending on your use of the reliquary. And being able to choose your age when you were turned, and other physical attributes? Yea, i had a lot of fun with this game. Hope the writer/s of this amazing story know that they are an exceptional one, and that their effort has not gone unnoticed by me, you clearly went over it and over it and remade and rewrote many things to get it right, and it is right. I can only support this story and you purchasing it. 8.5/10, wish it was a bit longer and had some empty/minor event days.

Я написала длинную рецензию, но стим заглючил и обзор стерся х) Еще один повод не любить эту игру. Не хочу писать подробно второй раз, скажу коротко. Игра скучна и уныла. Она полностью проигрывает другим текстовым квестам на вампирскую тематику. Сюжет это копипаста с Маскарада и видеоигры Vampyr. Романтика совершено не цепляет, так как мы толком не успеваем узнать ни одного из персонажей. Остается выбрать себе любовь только по внешности. Ну такое.

First off, I really liked that you can choose how graphic you want things to be. That’s a small touch, but it goes a long way for people who might feel uncomfortable. Very considerate, and I appreciate that. There wasn’t really any music or visual scenes apart from the writing itself, which wasn’t a huge problem, but I do think some background music could’ve made certain story moments hit harder. Just a bit of atmosphere would’ve added more flavour. The story itself? Pretty simple, nothing groundbreaking, but still enjoyable enough to keep me going. I actually liked the combat options and being able to customize my character (at least somewhat). Spoilers below: [spoiler] My main issue was the characters not feeling very deep. You don’t really get much time to connect with them, especially your chosen love interest. For example, after seeing Alex for the first time, it already asks if you have feelings for him, which felt super quick. Because of that, picking a “lover” didn’t feel all that meaningful to me. I barely knew them! Same thing with Fergus; I decided to side with him, but honestly had no clue if he was actually good or not since I didn’t get to know him well. There’s definitely potential here, and I think if the relationships and side scenes were fleshed out more, it’d be a much stronger experience. [/spoiler] All in all, for the price, it’s a nice short story to play through in one sitting. I can totally recommend it if you like vampire themes, moral choices, and visual novel-style storytelling. It’s not perfect, but it’s got charm and sometimes, that’s enough. 🦇✨

I played until chapter 6 (without wifi for most of the game) and the game starts nicely, but it is too quick : in one week, you come from a nobody human to a vampire having a key position in a society of vampires. There are other stuff that have already being said by other people, so I won't repeat them. I am just a bit sad for I was expecting this game, but the story and the romance are not believable, and the plot too much black and white for my linking

Choice of Games has published multiple World of Darkness books so it's a little strange that they decided to go with Store Brand World of Darkness for this title. For a Heart's Choice game, this one is pretty good. That says more about how bad most of the Heart's Choice games are than how good this one is, but it is what it is. I dunno, get it on sale. It's fine.

Really wanted to like this...feels too rushed.

so short, so fast, no sex, no romance, no blood feels like every character has a love you button that comes with about 2-3 total sentences of vague sex the story being described as erotic is a gross overstatement characters get close to zero development, not really possible to feel any real romance play Blood Moon by Barbara Truelove for lovable characters and good sex that actually gets described, you don't get to be a vampire but werewolves are good too
