I feel like Iâm constantly channeling the screaming frog meme when playing this game. My character is almost always a constant grump/sarcastic scone, ready to reeeeee at everything and everyone. Iâm surprised she managed to get a âfriendly startâ with the selkie. XD
(To be fair, if I were kidnapped from my home and family I would be pretty p***ed off as well, so their reaction is completely justified IMO.)

Iâm surprised I didnât check this out sooner, I had a lot of fun! Thank you for giving me yet another absolutely feral mc lol. I cannot wait to fight everyone and everything. Except Fergie. Fergie is a sweetheart and I would die for her, just sayin. I really enjoyed Larry and his friendsâ introduction too, I thought it was funny even if my mc was uh⌠pretty damn grumpy
I feel so bad for mc and mcâs dad though, half a frantic voice-mail and suddenly his daughterâs vanished into thin air? Mrs. Anderson can fight me, what would it matter even if mc WAS adopted, ass.
Speaking of parents, I wonder what MCâS mom would think of all this nonsense, I hope that we can find out what happened with her in in the process of finding out more about this whole curse deal.
I think there's an error with the conversation with Fergie before bed scene in ch 2
If you choose to admit youâre not okay when Fergie asks you how youâre doing the game takes you straight to your next nightmare without finishing the conversation. I tried the other option and we see mc actually fall asleep so I think something went wonky.

Same. Fergie must be the chosen one, if they can reliably make the MC chill long enough to be a tad nicer.

Thank you! Iâm really glad you really enjoy Blood/line! And I really hope youâll enjoy the future chapters
About that error...
My editor actually has the same error, and according to the coding it looks alright? Iâve been trying to see why exactly this happens.
But thank you for telling me this!!

THERE IS YET ANOTHER UPDATE!
Not sure if this bug had ran into everyone, but it ran into a few people, and this bug was a choice and now it is fixed!
The bug was [SPOILERS]: The choice before going to sleep with another nightmare, talking to Fergie. Where you can choose to tell them if you are okay or not. Some people had the option to see the interaction if you select âYou are not okayâ, but some people were launched straight for the dream sequence. It has now been fixed, and everybody should be able to read the choice

Iâve found chapter 1 to be great- as a lot of people have said, youâve done a great job of getting us to feel the MCs anger at their situation and frustration at their treatment. Chapter 2 isnât working as well for me. A few things that are feeling off:
-Fergie is being cast as sweet- but why havenât they shown the slightest interest in asking the MC about how they ended up in their room in the middle of the night with nothing but their clothes on their back? Shown any curiosity about the MC and their life? Even what they are? Fergieâs total lack of understanding of why the MC doesnât want to be there and the hatred of humans discussion that happens later seem to be founded on Fergie having no idea about the MCs history, which is where the absence of this conversation becomes most startling. Weâre being pushed into them in a best friend role, but somehow our new friend doesnât actually care to learn anything about us?
-Why is the university scheduled like a high school?
-But the biggest, for me, is a radical shift in tone and mood. Somehow, the day after a really traumatic, disorienting experience the MC is just going to classes (something the night before they had the option to be fiercely resisting)! Teasing their roommate about their crushes! Getting captured and tied up and not being able to say âwhat is wrong with you? does nobody in this place understand consent?â instead of answering their completely inappropriate question about dating! Itâs like weâve shifted into an entirely different genre without warning.
The first chapter is very much creating a situation where Mrs. Anderson is, I think unintentionally, trying to gaslight you. This is a great place! Your father doesnât matter, just forget about him, heâs probably not really your father anyway! College will be great! Of course youâll be happy there! This is all normal! While your MC is at least given the option of pushing back, hard. But in chapter 2, I feel like the story itself is pushing us into accepting that weâre now in wacky supernatural college fun! I recognize that the nature of the medium is that we have to accept the premise of the plot- you canât give unlimited options. But a very natural reaction to the situation would be for a MC to skip classes (what are they going to do? send me home to my parents? kick me out of a place I donât want to be in in the first place?) and do something they care about more: see if the library might have information about what they might be, for example, or explore the town, or see if they can figure out a way to escape, seeing if there might be some way to communicate with their father, just asserting what tiny bit of control over their own life they still have. But our MC justâŚgoes with it for no clear reason other than the fact that our roommate is enthusiastic and doesnât understand why weâre not either (again, because they apparently have no interest in finding out?). They seem to be accepting that theyâre now living in a different genre and rolling with it. And thatâs feeling very unsettling to me.

Heya!
I understand a lot of the confusion, and I plan on revisiting chapter two when Iâve finished working on the open demo and work on chapters for beta testing. I have noticed several things about this, especially Fergieâs affluent nature about MC, and MC suddenly going to classes. Iâll add some things into both the second chapter and first, because I feel like Iâve left a lot of stuff out.
But the main feel I wanna get, is youâre either just going along with it while planning to get out (a subtle, pretending to go along with it all when youâre really not), or being straight-up defensive while planning to get out (a harsher, bold statement you never want to be out here in the first place).
But, these are currently still in the works and just the demo, Iâll def be changing things up when I finish up posting what will be posted publicly.
As for the uni/high school question, I donât quite know how uni schedules work but for now while in the demo, theyâre just gonna be bell-dismissal classes. Later on, it wont quite be that.

Will there be more option centralized on introvert character? Right the MC isnât that much influenced by it. The first time, you could choose to escape and hide, even literally bite back like a cornered cat for how much the MC was scared, but now the MC just go around like nothing changed, not jumpy about other âmonsterâ and some time having only the opportunity to choose only a funny remark or generally outside character choices.

Indeed there will be!!!
This currently is still in the demo, and my editor and I are still looking over what could be added, and taken away.
Choices to avoid others and not be sociable will be in the final product! But for now, the light options of mainly being straightforward with your goals, will be the current sort of âplaceholderâ I guess you can say. At least, for now.
I hope this answers your question!!!

Ok so just gonna give my honest opinion here. But first let me say that everything I am about to say is from me only reading the entirety of the new update once and that all of this is simply constructive criticism along with some personal thoughts. First did I enjoy this demo and chapter 3? The answer is yes. Second the culinary vampier is now well on her way to being my favorite Ro.
Third after reading through the demo I was give two states of emotions, whiplash and a sense of claustrophobia. So letâs start with the whiplash. From the beginning of the demo to the mid point of chapter 2 we are essentially turned into a monster, kidnapped, interrogated, enrolled in college, meet a bunch of characters,and get kidnapped again/ have our ID stolen all in the span of what seems like a single day. It threw, me for a loop and almost nothing was given a satisfactory answer as to why how or who. One question brought up in the chaos that keeps eating at me is how did the agents (?) find our MC after only being part monster for less than a day? Maybe Iâm an idiot, no scratch that I am an idiot but still I have to play again to make sure but even if the information Iâm asking for was presented it was over shadowed by the fact I was kidnapped. For this I would recommend adding a scene with the gargoyle lady coming to check on our Mc and give us a chance to extract some concrete info out of her when the shock of the kidnapping fades a bit.
Now letâs address the claustrophobic feeling. So from the mid of chapter two till the end of the demo things have slowed down enough that info is easily accessible but there is so much of just nothing happening that it feels like a slog to get through and while the characters make it a bit better to get through itâs not by much. I personally would find a way to extend the character scenes and meld certain scenes of the breakout prep together.
The pacing needs a lot of work in my opinion and one last thing that maybe more a me thing is through the entire story so far i felt that no matter what situation I was in I was encouraged to be hostile toward everyone I met. This may be caused by the kidnapping scene prior to beginning and yes it makes sense that a character is upset when taken against their will (Duh) but still. It may also be caused by the wording of the demo as we are more focused on the kidnapping and trying to find a way out. One example of this problem is after we leave the interrogation room our gargoyle host basically says âI know we stole you and you are kinda pissed at us right now but look at the pretty building, And here is a card with a picture of you on it isnât that swell?â I know it didnât work the first time cause you know stone woman but I wanted so bad to try hitting her again.
(Sorry this was kinda long)
