The writing was super beautiful, and I will admit it took me a while to get all the different endings - but the final scene was worth it! I loved learning about their history, and on each play it got better and better! <3
Thank you <3 I guess it's time to put up a little walkthrough for the game, it'd be a shame if someone stopped before getting to the conclusion because they got frustrated.
This was so lovely!! Thank you for making & sharing this project. I'm a big sucker for playing around (in universe) with the concept of restarting a game and the way it was done here was wonderful! And the final secret ending was a great treat as well. The art was so lovely and I really enjoyed the writing of the LI's feelings regarding his situation and the MC herself. Looking forward to any future projects you may make!! :) <3
Thank you so much!!! I also love it when VNs do that so I took it as one of the starting points for my concept and I'm glad there's others who can appreciate it hehe
Short and sweet little VN. It really does draw you in from the get go. I like that there is an unexpected twist and it is not what it seemed to be in the beginning. It is well written and worth a read. I enjoyed it.
This was such a cool story!! The writing is so poetic and beautiful, the whole victorian vibe is lovely and the art is simply GORGEOUS!!
The mystery of the loop got me super invested (I'm a sucker for time loops xD) and I don't think I've ever seen one with a vampire! I love the duality of how he (not saying the name to avoid spoilers) both loves and yet also resents the MC at times, it's something that would be inevitable being in his situation and it was shown really well!! The detail of not mentioning either of their names until much later, when you start discovering the mysteries little by little, was very unique and creative, I don't think I've seen many stories with that and it was really cool and refreshing to see!
And the fact that this is your first VN, omg!! I can only be amazed, it's a wonderful achievement and everything looks so polished and nice!! Will be looking forward to more of your work, awesome job!! <3
Cute art. Managed to get a decent end in the first go and then went back to all the dead ends ^^' until I got the loop....and I'm missing one CG but it just loops now OTL.
Characters stuck in tragic loops do pull at my heartstrings.
First thing first, I have to mention the writing! It felt very... victorian, but in a way we don't see much of today. For instance, even in the true ending, I didn't find the romance "healthy" but... that wasn't the point of the game?? It just felt desperately romantic, like the type of romance we see in books which are centuries-old and I liked that! Also, I really appreciate the poetic writing style. The way the story tried to make the "starting a new route" over make sense was very pleasing too. Just a note: it's impossible (as far as I know at least) to reach the other endings once the "true" route is unlocked. Hopefully for me, I had saved before obtaining the true ending, but perhaps it's a thing to consider?
The art was great: I loved both the CG and the sprite work, and GOODNESS, the backgrounds were very good! The colour palette was overall very pleasing and, even so, I really appreciated the textbox that accompanied it, it was fitting!
This was a very good first VN (and even if it weren't the first, it would have still been very good, haha), and you can be proud of it! I had a lot of fun trying to reach all the endings!
EDIT: Oh, a little bug, the variation of the kissing CG (with blood) doesn't appear in the gallery!
Thank you for giving Duskbound a try! I'm really happy you liked the writing and art ^_^ I definitely tried to go for a victorian/gothic feel to the story so I'm glad it landed!
And thanks for letting me know about the issues! I've updated the game to unlock the CG variation properly and I've added a choice if you restart after reaching the final ending for whether you'd like to see it again or return to the earlier loop.
What an atmospheric VN! The art style is really cute, and the dark brown + red colour palette used throughout makes the whole thing look very consistent.
The CGs were gorgeous, and it was nice it had so many different choices/endings to explore. My fav ending has to be the one where the MC can be a bit bitey herself, it was a pleasant surprise given she seems so meek and mild haha ;;
If I had to criticise anything, it would be that the font strained my eyes a bit. Having the text in your VN be wholly in italics can be a bit wearying to read.
Other than that, I enjoyed this a lot. Thank you for creating it!
Ebi, thank you so much for playing and leaving such a kind comment T u T
I definitely started development with an aesthetic/colour scheme at the center and I'm happy it worked out into a cohesive feel! And I'm glad you liked ending 5, It was one I definitely wanted to include to show the MC's determined side.
I'll keep your comment about the font in mind, it probably would be about as stylistically fitting if it wasn't italics so that's a good thing to consider for next time.
i fell in love with him, this was an amazing game! i loved it lots! i was obsessed w/ getting all endings and i DID IT!!! i loved the unlockable one, was so chef kiss- i love the themes! great job! <3 i just sobbing all over the floor- cant wait to dream about this vampire !!!
The story is beautiful, and I can't help but be mesmerized by the amazing writing. I really love the art, too. It fits the setting and the atmosphere of the story. Overall, a very good job for your very first VN. Keep up the good work! 💕
Hiya! Currently reading this right now and it seems great so far, couldn't stop smiling and hitting the wall over this XD. And I heard this is your first VN, so Congrats and keep working hard, maybe you could be a professional VN writer! But for now I'm going to keep reading and update you with my thoughts later :)!

Thank you for a lovely story! The writing was wonderful and I enjoyed the last ending so much. The art was so cute too. :)
This is so cute I love yandere, I wish there's a walkthrough. Thanks for sharing this amazing 😄😊
I LOVE the LI and the writing was so good!

The writing in this was genuinely beautiful, and the art was very cute too.

Thank you so much for checking out my game and for the high praise, Pri! I'm glad the theming around the names came across well.
I'm excited to start working on new projects and even more excited to know there will be people looking forward to them <3

Amazing job on your Jam entry!
Really glad you liked it! I've fixed the build so now the CGs properly unlock and you can go back to the earlier content after the final ending.

I adore the art style, both look so adorable and the environment as well
Thank you so much! It was my first time drawing a lot of environments but it was surprisingly fun and I'm glad they turned out well
Welcome giving credit where credit is due. You deserve it ♥️. Looking forward to more from you. It really show's how inspired you were.
I used to think only vampire girls were cute until I played Duskbound and realized vampire boys could be cute too.
i fell in love with him, this was an amazing game! i loved it lots! i was obsessed w/ getting all endings and i DID IT!!! i loved the unlockable one, was so chef kiss- i love the themes! great job! <3 i just sobbing all over the floor- cant wait to dream about this vampire !!!

I'm glad to hear others care him as much as I do ahaha
