Just finished playing you other game about vampires and now I feel confident in saying that your themes and prose are wonderful I really enjoyed the flow of this and the descriptions a small thing that caught my eye was "It cascades down his face like a bloody waterfall." It just really stuck with me :D

This was a delightfully creepy and gothic game!
thank you!
"The gods have deemed you worthy, why can't you accept their judgement?"
Love that question and the way you engaged with the idea of shame and self-image. An interesting work in general and a hekkin impressive accomplishment for getting done in 5 hours. Nice work!
