Aww~! This was honestly so cute! I like how patient the MC can be because if it was me, I'd honestly be tired of the hesitant nature of the guest, however I like how considerate he is but also showing the self-deprecation that perpetuates him. I have to say it was a hassle without the skip button and save/load feature however I was just really glad for the guide for directing me on what to do.

I really like the story and dialogue, I did not expect to be schooled and learn a lot of educational tidbits but it was honestly fun the first time around. Great little visual novel, I really like the themes that were present here~!

Really nice game! It's was fun to experience a softer take on vampires, I kinda feel bad that my initial response was to be mean now; he seems like an really sweet vamp. I really liked all the endings we could get.

You did a great job on this game! 

Thank you so much for playing, the comment, and the video! ❤️ I'm sorry for the late reply but thank you ❤️❤️❤️

I LOVED this. The wonderful guest is very charming and reminds me of a golden retriever.
Characters with the guests.. condition are generally more sexualized in media so this VN feels like a breath of fresh air. It's short, but the interactions felt very personable.
Only minor thing I'd want out of this in an update is an option to skip previously seen dialogue. I messed up a bit trying to get an ending and had to click through everything again ;w;


I've watched the video and have put a comment there :D I really enjoyed your playthrough and commentaries! Thanks so much for playing 🧡🧡🧡

Nice game.

Thank you for playing and making a video of it!!

I really enjoyed this! He's so dorky and considerate and cute. Also, I really like the dark academia background music you chose. I got the normal ending, though I'd like to try getting the other endings, too.

Thank you so much for playing and leaving a comment!! 💜💜💜
