No, the question at this point is why you didn’t just… lead with that info, since it’s literally the question I asked.
Still don’t know where anyone is getting the idea that it’s marketed as a romance story, though, or how that’s somehow clear to everyone. The author may have said that in a discussion somewhere that I apparently haven’t read, but that’s not marketing. Marketing is what I see when I look at the Hosted Games page. There, it’s marketed as a detective story.
I guess the demo doesn’t do it justice either because it still feels like a detective story after playing the demo.
I’m totally fine with a vampire romance story. But I’d want to know that that’s what it is. Hell, I just learned today that every single one of them is a vampire. I thought it was a group of various different supernatural entities. And I can’t stand slow burn which seems to be every romance in Wayhaven, so I guess I won’t buy it.
It’s actually seven, but that’s still not much when the book is 21 chapters long.
I got the impression that the game’s primary conceit was that the team assigned to help you solve the case is secretly desperately trying to prevent you from solving it.
