Adorei! A história é super interessante, a dinâmica entre os dois protagonistas é maravilhosa (ainda mais quando começam a se soltar em capítulos posteriores) e o romance é uma fofura! Só queria que fosse mais longo, sinto que a história poderia ter sido desenvolvida mais um pouco. Ainda assim, pra um jogo gratuito tá mais do que suficiente! História boa, trilha sonora ótima e algumas cenas dubladas, não poderia pedir mais pela bagatela de 0 reais. Recomendo muitooo!

Beautiful art paired with an interesting, well written story that's short but not too short and free-to-play to boot.

A short but very well written Visual Novel.
There's voice acting here and there and while I'm not particularly fond of Abigail's voice it's not badly dubbed.
The story is very interesting, the dynamic is cute to read and the world-building actually becomes extremely interesting; it does feel like they could make a bigger something after the Freedom ending but I am happy with what we got.
The backgrounds are not many but honestly seeing a VN without anime style art was refreshing on its own

Vampires, Romance, Free?! What more could you ask for! This game was absolutely amazing and I was so baffled on how it could be free, but it just made playing this game even more sweeter!

The art style is exactly the style I am fond of the most, detailed yet soft, with a hint of realism. The character designs of both Abigail (The Main Character) and Lucius (The Vampire) are very well done and thought out, you could tell some of their personality from their clothes right of the bat.

The writing was great, thoughtful, and evocative and it was done so well that I just wished for more each time I read forward. There was a whole world built in a relatively short amount of time and that world was intriguing to say the least.

My only few gripes with the game was that at times it felt like there were not really much choice give for the player, it could have been just a novel with pictures and the second was that I wished there would have been scene artworks like in general otome/visual novel games.

I love visual novels, and it is always wonderful to find one with such good writing and such lovable characters (like Lucius, I'm in love with him). It may seem a little fast paced at moments, and it truly wish it was longer, but it may be related to the game's length limitations since it was an entry for NaNoRenO 2022. Besides that, everything is perfect and I love it

It's pretty well written and it manages to create enough worldbuilding and backstory for the characters to make them charismatic and interesting. It also feels refreshing to see an artstyle that differs from the usual anime-like sprites in this genre.
