Quite interesting VN. I liked how it's read and the personalities of the characters are very consistent and amusing. The specific dialogue for the choices is short-lived but I don't mind.
I's have preferred much more if there was more animation. The characters rarely do anything besides changing the expression to give the hint of their mood.
Also, navigating with the keyboard to select the option to proceed isn't straightforward. Maybe some key shortcut to jump to select the menu options or some mechanism to make it straightforward how to reach to select the first option when they appear would be nice.
The VN was made for a month long game jam, and as I was busy for the last 10 days of the month I effectively had about 20 days to write and code the whole game. Therefore, there wasn't much time to add fancy animations, especially when the project is already quite long for a free game and I spent a decent chunk of money commissioning the existing character artwork.
I like moving the main menu background around with the mouse. The pink and desaturated brown color pallet is a perfect mix of creepy and cute. Mayu's design feels busy like I don't know exactly where to look. Wonderful music, displays emotional themes well. Game mechanics are easy to understand, gives the player more control in-universe. I'm captivated by making Mayu Succeed. Having an important deadline keeps the energy of story progression up! Love Sumire <3 Love the mp3 player. The environments and assets are so fun to look at. The visual format is also unique. Several paths and choices to make, I was happily surprised! Overall wonderful story, gameplay, and feels polished and finished. Great job devs!
The music wasn't made specially for the game, it's actually a collection of remixes from Yume Nikki which I found on YouTube. I was listening to this music while writing/coding the project, and I liked it so much I asked the composer if I could use it in this VN, and they agreed. I'm very happy they did, I think the music is really atmospheric!
This is very fun! The characters are fleshed-out very nicely with their chat conversations, it's very enjoyable! The art is so, so cute and the GUI overall looks very soft and nice!! In my playthrough I haven't met all the available girls yet, I've been playing around with the other activities. Juri is very cute, I like her a lot and Wakabaka is just so fun hahaha... Thank you for making this!
Poor Mayu.. Can't even be a Vtuber. I really felt for her. Being a vampire sucks! x) I loved the dialogue with Juriel in particular - the contrast of her deadpan delivery with Mayu's personality was very fun. :) Got Ending #8 on my first playthrough and I'll go back to try some others. I was so worried about Mayu being able to pay rent that I just had her work and drink blood, lol, but that was actually a satisfying ending, too.
Also really enjoyed the retro/Gothic music + the UI layout/sprite format.
Writing Mayu and Juri's dialogue was a lot of fun! I think they're both very sweet haha The game is designed so each playthrough should be relatively quick after the first one, since you can skip through most of the text. Seeing a few other outcomes shouldn't be too taxing (I hope haha)
I'm very happy with the music and how the UI and the art all looks, I'm glad I was able to bring my ~vision~ to life haha
Hello! I am greatly enjoying this game's story and characters. I do have a question though. I am trying to get all the endings, but I am struggling to get ending 17. I figured it followed the pattern of being a bad ending for Dr. Saloman (well, 'bad') that you get if you pick the ruder options in her conversations like for the other girls, but no matter what options I've picked over a few attempts at playing her route I always get ending 18 instead. Is there something specific I need to do instead?
It's possible to get ending 17, but the point restrictions are tighter than for the other girls. You just need to pick all the less hostile/rude options where you can, and you should be able to get it. If you pick the 'wrong choice' too many times then you'll get ending 18 instead.
I really love this story and concept but I'm so confused, how do you meet Akura?? I've meet and romanced/gotten an ending with the other 4 girls, but I'm still yet to even meet Akura, all I can gather is that she's the doctor (Dr.Salomon) that supplies Mayu with blood from the hospital. Any tips/hints on how to meet her or get any other endings?
Please and thank you and I love this game btw it's so cute <3
Tysm for checking it out! I'm glad you're enjoying it!
And if you want any advice on meeting Dr Salomon...
[Spoilers]
You need to try and buy blood without enough money to pay for it. It's easiest to do this near the start of the game, by buying one pack of blood, surfing the net, then trying to buy blood again first thing the following night.
This game is so cute :3!! I really like the interactions between mayu and the other characters. (also it seems like everyone in the comments accidentally killed the landlady in their first run, i did too ;;)
I'll think about making an Android version. I'll probably have to disable the minigame since I'm not sure if it'll run nicely on phones, and I'll need to test if the UI etc works too.

Tysm! I think the art is really cute too, I'm very happy with how the visuals turned out. I think it's a very Aesthetic game if nothing else haha

This game is so cute :3!! I really like the interactions between mayu and the other characters. (also it seems like everyone in the comments accidentally killed the landlady in their first run, i did too ;;)
Will you make an android version in the future?
( ＾▽＾)

This is so cute!!
My first run end with me killed the landlady unintentionally. (I thought I have time to buy blood left lol)
And yes, I want to get bullie by a mean himedere nun and genki idol girl! (I read your note!)
Your thirst goes up at the end of every night so you need to keep an eye on it haha ;;
And I'll see how I feel about adding new characters if the VN does well in terms of downloads.
