私のゲームをプレイしていただき、ありがとうございます! ^,.^

You didn't open a bed and breakfast. The house did that on its own. Guests have arrived, invited by the house. Many come with services and no money. They're expecting a host. That's you.

You smile. Or Hiss. You welcome them. You learn their names, study their dossiers, and work out exactly who they are and what they're doing here. And somewhere in between, you feed. Carefully. Discreetly. Because you also need to not die, and not alert the house to your presence. It can't see you normally.

Twice a day the Blood Hours arrive, making everything a little easier.  Feeding, moving, and managing the consequences of both. Outside of those windows, you're on your own.

Your guests all have histories. They have relationships with each other, secrets they're keeping, and reasons for being here that may or may not be what they seem. The dossiers give you a start. The rest is up to you to uncover.

Push anyone too far and your reputation suffers. Push hard enough and things turn violent. You can run, and you can find Seraphina. Once a guest is gone, they're gone. There is also something going on with the house itself. And a coming mystery to unravel...

{{ DEV NOTE: I had to focus on systems, and it was an uphill battle for me for various real life reasons. I am a dedicated writer. The narrative will come. This is my first game outside of a Uni course.}}


***~~GUARANTEE OF NPC HEALTH AND SAFETY!~~***

All NPCs spend their time off map in a lovely little handbuilt house with all the amenities of a century ago.

***~~ EARLY ALPHA FEATURES ~~***

~ Mixed art assets from various talented artists & RTP

~ Choice based gameplay featuring global variables

~ Hunger and *Presence meters; let either max out and it's over 

~ Blood Hours; twice-daily windows with movement, feeding, and consequence buffs 

~ A roaming cast of NPCs, each with a **dossier and relationships to one another 

~ A hidden reputation system; push someone too far and things escalate 

~ A time system; who is where changes as the day (or night) goes on 

~ A large map with hidden areas and a few secrets already in place 

~ A player run music system via a conveniently placed Record Player***

~ A secret and hidden dev mode present in the game

~ A hidden NPC that can  only be unlocked under very specific conditions

Constructive criticism welcome! ^,.^

*I have plans to extend the world beyond the mansion. Presence will eventually lead to many different consequences instead of a game over.

**Dossier system is implemented in a testing phase only. There are a few major reveals you can unlock already, though most have yet to be implemented.

***I have been making music, but my current setup is an old keyboard, steam deck and iPad. None of them want to play nice with each other.
