A good game! But it would be so much easier to play and I think it would get a better rating and more people would play it if you could play the game directly in the browser.

I liked the art for the game, it served the style of the game well. I could have used more interaction options / strategy when it came to bartering, but I appreciated the different personalities of the visitors. Overall there seemed to be a lack of tension, or a feeling of risk reward when making different decisions in the game.
I like the art style on the barter page, that looks pretty good. Afterwards it get's a bit less and looks more a like prototype and does not suit well the other thing.
However, the idea is nice, hence the controls for putting in the amount of money/blood feel a bit odd.
i do love the style you put into this game and about that it means a good one. then it comes to the mechanic, I kinda thing of it as good but after some time it feels like need some variations. anyway, it's good for a jam.
Really cute game! Impressive that you did it in such a short time :) Also fits the theme beautifully.
good work
I didn't expect much from the logo, but when i played the game... It was fantastic. Good sounds, beautiful graphics and the idea. Thanks a lot for this game.
Very lovely game.
As for me I did not like only bartering. There was so many clicks with my mouse. I've got tired. Maybe I loved your game even more if there was a way to enter my price with keyboard.
I couldn't understand how to barter. Eventually I just paid ridiculous amounts for a small bit of blood and it worked almost every time. So the mechanic could have used more to tell you how much to barter, rather than just the servant saying MOAR every time.
So even though I didn't enjoy the gameplay, somehow I ended up playing through every single customer just because I enjoyed the writing. And also that dress. Yes.
This is a really good first Ludum Dare. The characters and dialogue were really fantastic. The bartering could have been done better, because it wasn't really clear what a reasonable exchange was. Perhaps if your advisor could tell you more about the person making the trade so that you could get hints from their personality or something like that. Either way, excellent game.
I really liked the art on this. The page of the village was really neat, and I thought this was a well-done game.
Very interesting idea and a great hit on the theme! Good art. :) From technical problems: if you do not install fonts from a folder, then half of the text turns into "small squares".
Loved it ! I did not realize that there was a finite number of customer... for the first customer you could provide a base change rate so the player knows what to expect :)
Art style is so cute, love the mood
Alert, alert, good game missing feedbacks spotted
Deploying rating operation.

Done!
Small warning: the numbers are not correctly displayed on my computer. Maybe I'm missing a font, I don't know (Windows 10).
The arts are impressive, good work. The overall realisation is flawless in my opinion (except for the bug, but whatever).
Bartening is cool and fun, so the game is cool and fun, and could probably go beyond it's current state easily. Good job to you :)
Nice art, good writing, interesting concept. You've put a lot of work in those characters, there're a lot of them! The core mechanic after a while became a little tedious tho, but I enjoyed managing the city. The "give up" button should be called "go f*** yourself then", that would be more satisfying, cos some of the customers just made me angry.
Really my type of game, like what you made with the theme, could be very addictive but a lil hard to make transaction. Guess better progress in first step (even with the tutorial or in it) could improve this cool concept. Keep it up nice job guys !
Really cool concept ! well made

thanks a bunch for playing (and for the feedback)!! :)
It's certainly quite an interesting game. I do agree with the feedback of @manuel-rauber on the art inconsistency. I would also like to mention that the whole barter things doesn't work well, because you don't know how much you're of from what they want to get. Usually I just payed 20x the blood amount in gold and that seemed fine.
I couldn't get enough blood, but I liked seeing all the characters come in. Perhaps if there was some way to see how much people are expecting and how much blood they have? It's a lot of guessing if I don't know the standard exchange rate. I did get better with it closer to the end though. Keep up the good work!
