Vampire's Kiss

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

I'm recommending this mostly because I know how much work goes into writing in general, so I don't feel like £5 is a big price to pay for a few nice hours of reading. If you can snag it for a little less during a sale all the better. I'm big in to Interactive Fiction right now. I'm basically on a binge and making my own, so I'm learning from others, which is mostly why I picked up this game. Romance being the main focus is great for me, but even still the overall story can't be ignored or the romance falls flat. I liked the characters, the setting, and the overall idea. This could have been awesome. Markey was my favourite overall, but that could be because he gets the most screen time and your relationship with him (her/them) makes more sense. With that being said, there is a lot of exposition dumping. Rather than learning things in a natural, cohesive way people tend to just show up, talk at you, then leave. There is a scene where this is actually called out, which was kind of funny in an ironic way. And a lot of characters are mentioned or shown on screen who have no real impact on the story. Even the vampire leader who you can support feels like a bit of a non-entity. On the ot…

Just overall not really enjoyable, the pacing of the story is really bad and the romancables not really captivating.

Vampire Kiss is a choice-based narrative featuring absurd romance options, all initiated by impulsive decisions and the innate desire for carnal fulfillment. As a woman with a set of divergent interests, I must admit, I did indulge in the salacious dialogue, especially since such scenes are the focal point of every playthrough; however, I found myself lost in obscene conversations, an unbelievable world, and the unrealistic presentation of the protagonist. The sassy flair of Dash Casey’s rhetoric is enamoring, but it too often interferes with pivotal action sequences or the somber tone in a moment of loss. I admire the verbiage of this tale, but I despise how inconsequential momentous incidents are to the emotionality of the player character. Vampire Kiss excels in its characterization of concupiscence and impetuous romance, but lacks the ambient integrity other narratives value; thus, I recommend this game as my indecent self and not as the pulled together girl I am.

I don't know what it says about me that I chose to abandon the sweet vampire for the villain and rule an empire of eternal evil, but I have no regrets.
