Vampire: The Masquerade - Heartless Lullaby

It's clunky, the environment is tedious to navigate, and the narrative is short and linear. Also there's no save feature. But it's free.

I came late, and what we got was a clunky & janky VTM game with a vanilla story lacking all that made the WoD interesting and all that made Vampire the Masquerade a bit unique. The story is linear, and as so often, our choices make no noteworthy differences. The characters forced on us suck, as they are badly designed & ill-fitting the story. Some graphical issues may sabotage one or two tasks in the game, and overall the feeling that the DEVS simply had given up on the game, throwing a not fully finished junk at us... It remained factually true. 🤕

For a jam game, this kicked ass, I really can't wait for Heartless Symphony so I hope that is still in development. HS alongside the other CRPG coming out soon would breathe so much life into the WOD universe. This experience is about an hour to maybe 2 hours long, but there is also a slight replay value in the way you can play the short demo. Music is a bop, and the story beats actually gripped me for a moment and had me in the feels. Good job to the devs, you got something great going here.

good dialogues

fun little game. i'd definitely be intrigued to hear about a continuation to this story, with some more resources put into it. my major complaint is the walk speed is just so extraordinarily slow. it was pretty short and ended somewhat abruptly, but for a game jam game that you play for free, it's pretty good.

Short and sweet
