UPDATE 5/3: A really kind friend of mine, Lyn-Dae Stewart, has provided me with new character art for a post-jam version of the game! Now all the characters can look as sultry as I've written them! You can find the link to the post-jam version below. If you like her speedy work here, please support her on Patreon! You can find her at Patreon.com/pixipui
Ever wanted to relive the trashy YA fiction from your youth, but, like, in interactive story form?
No? Well too bad - here's a Comedy Noir Romance for your consideration.
You play as Kenneth Rice; a 130-year-old hard-boiled detective with sensibilities firmly in the 1920s era from when he was bitten by a vampire. Yes.
When he gets a call from a mysterious stranger with a missing necklace, Kenneth steps up to the challenge; using his detective skills and vampiric transformation powers to solve the case. And maybe fall in love?
In short, it's Castlevania: Symphony of the Night with more 20's lingo and homoerotic overtones. Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: It's no excuse, but this turned out to be a solo project by someone who don't draw too good. Concessions needed to be made. Please understand.
- Original character artwork by Gordon Shier and Aryn Clark (Consider it a callback to my earlier work).
- Script, coding and photoshopping by Nathan Blades."
- Game music by Thomas Collins ([email protected]) and Kevin MacLeod (http://incompetech.com).
- Sound effects from freesound.org."
