I just finished the demo, and... WOW. It's incredible!
I have always been a fan of romance and horror, but I haven't been able to find a game that includes both elements in a satisfactory way. But I think your game is gonna be what I've been waiting for.
I loved the demo: the voice acting is great, the art is pleasing to the eye, the story is interesting and the characters are so intriguing! I personally liked best Brenton and Tristin, I find them adorable and pleasant, so I'm looking forward to seeing their less agreeable side.
Long story short, I'll totally buy the game when it's complete :D
Hi! The game is coming along great. It is still actively being worked on. You can keep up to date with progress on the kickstarter page (if you were a backer) or on my twitter. The dev updates are a little slower on itchio.
I'll draft an Itchio update soon but in brief everything is on track for a December 2021 release (as long as nothing goes wrong/gets delayed!) :D
I'm not gonna phrase this as a question, because an answer would probably be spoilers. I'm just thinking this through.
There are games like Alpha Protocol, where your relationship meter is how much someone else trusts you. No matter how high your relationship with someone gets, you still have the option to betray or abandon them. In fact, a good relationship can make it easier for you to outwit and outscheme them.
Then there are games like Girl in the Box, where your relationship meter is how much you trust someone else. At low relationship, you oppose them, and at high relationship, you support them. If your relationship is high, but they're blatantly going to be betray you, you're locked out of all the options that would allow you to defend yourself against them.
In the setting of In Blood, it seems suicidal to alienate all these dangerous people, but it also seems suicidal to trust them. I'm hoping the game allows some degree of tightrope-walking, rather than just picking your preferred flavor of Too Dumb to Live.
Hi! This is something we've been aware of during planning, and have allowed choices for. We promise there we be other options than just going along blindly :D (Any other info might be spoilers)
I just played the demo, and I must say that I liked it! The horror elements were done in tastes and the characters are wonderful- I would also like to add the the visual design of the game is stunning, really gets you into the mood of the game. I think Tristin is my current favorite, although Brenton was cute as well. Can't wait for the whole game!
Alright so I can say I totally loved the demo, as soon as I read "inspired by games like Demonheart" I was *eyes zoom in* LOL. Tho I wanted to ask, since the relationships are on the toxic side, can we expect any happy endings with the ROs or not? I want to donate on kickstarter, but if there will be no happy-ish endings with the ROs (like Brash on DH1 is perfectly fine, or the endings of DH:H too) then I don't think I will.
If you don't want to answer to avoid spoilers that's perfectly fine! I am just a sucker of happy endings and get depressed if there aren't any lol.
Also, let me add: kudos to the voice actors! Usually I am not a super fan of it, but the ones working on this game are *chef kiss*
There are endings where they end up together at the end, and I’m working hard to make them way more satisfying and fleshed out than my previous games (a common feedback I was getting). I can’t give too much away because spoilers, and it’s still in the draft phase where things can drastically change :D
I loved the demo. The characters are great and the voice acting is perfect. Very much looking forward to the full game! I think Brenton is my favorite. Who doesn't enjoy an awkward dragon boy? :p
I love the story. It's very interesting. The setting just adds to the dark, dreary atmosphere. 🧐
The characters are unique and mysterious. I wonder if Ellie can trust them. I think Brenton and Tristin are harmless, but Seta and Karon seem suspicious. 😅
Still I look forward to playing everyone's route. 😊
Oh my goodness, I've been following this since it was announced and the demo is so good! I am intrigued by all of the characters and the setting (though Tristin is baby!)! The VA is perfect and the art and writing are A+! Look forward to the full game, but wow this demo is great!
oh my gosh the forest scene in the intro is so spooky I love it and Nyarbalte's voice is amazing! so far Brenton and Eris are my favs <3 looking forward to more!!
The voice acting in this is phenomenal! It is clear there has been a lot of work put into this. The characters are all equally well written, the sprites are great and the story pulled me in quickly. So far my favorites are Tristan, Eris and Seta.
I wish I did! I have the Draft of Tristin's route completed, and after I finish the writing we'll need to do edits and audio stuff. There will be a Kickstarter in July, and if I had to take a rough guess at a release date I'd say Oct 2021, but that will likely change depending on how long everything takes and if the KS is successful. Don't worry too much I write fast lol :D
