My friend and I are both playing Ludum Dare entries tonight: just had fun explaining to him what the game I was currently playing was like :)

It was a hard choice between giving humor 1 star or 5 stars, but I went with 5. This game is either terrible or an absolute masterpiece.

Very funny. The final voice line made me laugh. Graphics could do with a bit of work, especially the animation, but overall, I really liked it. Good job! :D

It's difficult to enter into this work because of how the subaqueous qualities of the Egyptian motifs notates the inherent overspecificity.

Vampires have extremely advanced problem-solving skills :D Voice acting is superb!

I get to see the whole book-opening intro, however right after that it crashes.

Hahahahah! Omg was not expecting that. I liked pooping on the homework...FAVORITE part by far lol. This was a humorous game to play. The mechanics, music, and visuals were great. The story pretty much sums up my life haha! Good work guys

I am amazed that this music is procedurally generated.Didn't though these are this mature yet.
The humor ,hmmmm,well at first it was cool but then it got repetitive(one don't simply "bat-boo" on everyone to solve his problems) which could be then the humorous part in the game after all ,so... never mind.
Oooh I liked the narration too :)

I enjoyed this, because it made me have that wonderful "wtf is going on" -feeling.
MayankUnreal9 May 2016, 11:23
Totally different but I love it.

Haha, I loved how the vampire solves all his life's problem one way. Really cute story and I love the hand drawn style. I also really liked the vampire wore two different colored shoes :) Great job!

It's polished, art is nice and fits the mood and your audio work was awesome. Only thing was I didn't quite like the jokes in this entry :-/

I just can't describe what I played now... :D Man, this is a masterpiece! 5 for overall, fun, graphics, audio, humor, and mood. 4 for innovation and 3 for theme.

You really subverted the player's expectation to see a philosophical/psychological game... well, maybe it's still philosophical/psychological... in a way... :D I thought it will be about bullying or something, and then... surprise!

I couldn't help to notice that the boy's hat has Romanian national colors – is this intended or coincidence?

@MegaBrutal
I noticed it too, but it's a mere coincidence! But Vlad is probably a Romanian, so it totally makes sense.
