Good storytelling, nice one :D

I love this! It's so chock full of personality - the set-up, the style (I love the purple!), Kenneth's voice. The shapeshifting aspect was fun and made me wish there was a longer game to play so I could solve more hard-boiled puzzles with my vampiric talents. :D

Excellent storytelling, nice music and I loved the character drawings. I wished there were more. Maybe in the post-LD version? :P

Love the writing and the polish that went into this. It is like a mashup between a Vampire The Maswuarade feel with the noir detective sotrytelling. I think you did a great job!

Cool! :)

Nice story!

Had me from the start, the feel of it was great!

Very good visual novel! I felt the background outside the speakeasy wasn't necessarily appropriate for the era but that's just a nitpick. Very well written dialogue, I hope to see more!

Really good storytelling, nice graphics and nice audio. Interesting theme, mixing noir and vampires.

Nice, finished story and good tone and mood. Well done.

Glad to see this game in the submissions after seeing it at Mad Lab.

You get to be a vampire detective, that deserves 10/10 in its own right!

Very good story. Good music. Nice visual novel.

Loved it.

I loved the scenario and style. I predict that this will be the best-written of all the LD games!

Nice work. It all comes together to create a good atmosphere.

Great game! Too bad there no option for story-telling 'cause it was awesome!

*Potential Spoilers*


"Like a candy store on fire" Great story telling and I love the theme (my game is also Noir themed) but I think you nailed the theme down a bit better than I did. I also love those hard boiled types, love the humor of that protagonist.

I like how you used real photos and then styled them to the game. Nice job!

fprawn 2016-04-22 01:08

Great game, wish there were more to play.

Hey GrooveMan! Just wrote you a little backstory about Pasowix as you didn't get how he was getting paid =)
Just scroll down and read it in the comments: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-35/?action=preview&uid=46004

As for your game:

I really sorry, but I couldn't finish it. Interactive stories really tedious. Didn't get past the first phone call.
Otherwise I really like the art and the mood. But as I actually didn't play I'd say it's not fare to score you on anything.
I'm sure the game is great as by looking at the comments! But I just wanted to let you know!

Hope you guys had a fun time making it =)

Loved the amount of detail in this and the different use of the theme. Definitely got the noir atmosphere across well.

captainpilot 2016-05-03 22:13

Solid entry - got the whole way through. Pretty simple, and I didn't get much excitement or climax from the story. The mood was definitely strong though.

Really nice work, I like it. The music is really good and the art too
