Just wanted to mention that Soulset was one of the first visual novels I ever read and is a big part of the reason why I love storytelling today! Thank you for all your time and effort!!
I hope that your art & stories are no longer a source of stress, but a means of comfort and vitality.
-Sending you all the good vibes
This was very compelling and a perfect way to spend a chilly afternoon! I'm very interested in Jackie and really want to know more about what's going on in her head.
*SPOILERS*
Obviously, she spends a lot of her brainpower trying to keep her freak-flag down around the protagonist, lol. You said that you don't plan to continue this; is there any chance that you might share what's going on here? I have a lot of questions, with the biggest being: what is Jackie's PLAN?? You can't just pick up the girl you stalk the love of your life without a plan on how this is going to go down, right? Right?!
+ That scene after seeing the biker for the second time (you know the one) has me gagging. (Can I say that?)
;)
Very interesting, and beautiful! It's already been mentioned, but this had that 'seductive but empty' VtM vibe. With the difference being our protagonist's little plot twist~
I'll be honest and say that part of the intrigue for me is that you've listed this as a queer vampire story. I feel like most of the vampire stories I've encountered are predominantly hetero. Which is kind of odd, because vampires have always read to me as having homosexual undertones.
Bringing me to my next question: is the sire's name (Marvella) a reference to Carmilla/ Mircalla, or is it just a coincidence?
I have even more questions, because this short demo has really caught my interest! But I'll leave it at that (for now). Good work/ be proud of your demo. It's very intriguing.

Awwwww, this was so fun! Azram IS very intriguing. Also, I was honestly surprised by his age. I thought he was in his 30's? The banter was really engaging and easy to fall into, I love playing those cheeky characters. I'm curious how much backstory you planned out before writing this.
Anyways, great job!
I'm in love! Perfect short game. As a fan of gothic/ fairytale fiction, I can say it's hard to find any that's wlw. So this is really special. Not to mention the good atmosphere, writing, and characters! And as if all that wasn't enough, the attention paid to how these girls keep their hair is just perfect. Absolutely going to follow this account now. My only complaint is wanting more! Congratulations on creating such a lovely story. :)
This was so much fun! Exactly what I was looking for when I found it. Abigail, our sassy bard, had the best lines. Especially when going up against that dry humor of Lucius'. The two are quite a match. In shorter pieces like this, it's more important to have strong characters and interpersonal relationships; which this definitely had!
I don't want to get into spoilers, but the backstories for each were refreshing and believable. Funnily enough, I found myself feeling more sorry for Abi. Which was a surprise since I definitely fall into the category of people who are soft for vampires, lol. On the other hand, I have the feeling that we didn't learn the extent of Lucius' background...
The Bliss Vampire end was interesting. I really didn't expect that from Abigail, or for Lucius to follow her so easily. I don't know if it was your intent, but I read it as a bad end/ bittersweet end. This becomes even more interesting since I don't think the other Bliss End (Human) was sad at all. Mostly.
I'm so curious; what was going through your mind when planning out the endings? Did you always have them in mind when you began, or did they develop over time? The last important choice definitely has a bit of philosophy going on.
Anyways, thank you so much for putting in the time and energy to make this little game. It's absolutely lovely, quality work! I'm definitely going to be following this team.

Once again, an absolutely lovely demo! I tried Soul Contract months ago on a whim and was blown away by the story, interesting mechanics, and animated art. So I was extremely excited to see another game in the same universe! I played as Jou and ended up making a contract with Seladre. I think their dynamic is very good. I look forwards to seeing how their romance will play out.
Hopefully, this project will continue to be something you enjoy; because I think your love for these characters really shows!
***SPOILERS***
Good morning, wherever you are!
I want to start by saying that I love this game. RPG maker horror games are my all-time favorite niche, and it's hard to find developers interested in the genre: let alone able to make such an amazing one! I plan on making a better review once I finish the demo. But for now I'm just here to mention a potential bug. During the scene where you have to option to cut your hand to put blood on the door, the player character has an anxiety attack, right? So I try to press "C" so that she can take some meds to calm down. However, I get an error box whenever I try to do this, and the game shuts itself down. I made sure to screenshot just in case you were interested, so let me know.
Anyways, the game has been fun to explore so far! I don't know how far into the demo I am, but I'll probably have to delete and redownload the game before I can finish it.
