I keep coming back to this. I think it might be one of my favorite pieces (if not my favorite piece) of interactive fiction. Definitely one of the best works of vampire fiction I've read (and trust me, I am obsessed, the pool is not small).
There's so much to it. The fact that her husband isn't harming her on purpose, but that he's ignorant to her wants and needs, which ultimately leads to the same end? Her being stifled and repressed? The fact that he (alongside her brother) represent patriarchy, compulsory heterosexuality, etc, and that she cannot preserve Sawhill's life without becoming consumed by her bloodlust and hurting Emma? She cannot have a healthy sapphic relationship while trying to appease this form of patriarchy.
Finding beauty in and having compassion for the grotesque, ie the dying horse. The sex scene. The coven. Everything. Everything about this is so good. I played this for the first time three years ago and to this day am OBSESSED. I made an itch account not six hours ago, I just had to comment given the chance.
Hi! The game is awesome, but i stumble on a problem of reaching endings IV-VI because no matter which answers i give to Darcy i end up either in "Human Nature" ending or "submit"

Hi! The game is awesome, but i stumble on a problem of reaching endings IV-VI because no matter which answers i give to Darcy i end up either in "Human Nature" ending or "submit"
thank you! this should (hopefully) be fixed!
Do you have a guide for all the endings? I've only been able to achieve 2 of them so far and can't tell if I'm missing something to get the rest
hi! i just added an ending guide to the game page, hopefully that will help! (i also had to adjust some code but it should all be working correctly)
an incredible and oddly heartwarming story
thanks so much for making it! 💖
thank you for reading it 🖤
