In Sub Rosa evil wears the skin of innocence. It is your job as a vampire hunter to find out what lies beneath the surface. Use your wits and skill to deduct which of the innocent looking villagers is actually a vampire.
I killed the right guy on the first try out of pure luck. :D
The only downside I found: Space then mouse click to start and E to talk and then mouse click to kill looks dumb, keyboard only controls could have fit better.
Ooh, I love the gothic style of this (though the hero feels a tad out of place with his superhero physique and goofy run). Props for taking on a mystery game, too.
Yay, managed to slay the vampire on my first try. Luck might have been involved though. Graphics and audio (Vampire Masquerade <3) created an awesome mood, lolled at the player character and the run animation after that menu super cool menu though. I hope you could've made the gameplay more interesting (more clues and more complex clues etc.), but it's decent considering the time limit. I guess I'll also have to mention the Skyrim reference since no one else has already done so :P.
A funny sort of take on the theme! I unfortunately didn't enjoy myself too much; what's pleasurable in gothic literature is the mood, right? And though you did an absolutely amazing job getting that down for the title screen, I had a hard time connecting that with my goofy, gray-clad character in-game. In-game music would have helped rather a lot, too, and I agree with the comments on the controls.
The idea, though, and the general character design were quite good; I liked that it was procedurally generated so that I could play a few times after beating it, and the strategy changed some as well.
This could work well with the hidden vampire and some villagers muddying the waters to make the puzzle-solving a bit deeper, but it was solvable without guessing (something that might not be true about my game).
Also, that fog was cheap but effective - I thought it was a fancy particle effect at first, and I only realised it was just a plane when I stopped to observe it. :D

Really ambitious art-wise, though sad there wasn't any reward for finding the vampire.

Thanks for the game!
