This was great! Amazing job. I was thinking maybe you could make like, cutscenes or something for the blood donation part (I don't know the actual name, but I'm talking about when something important or really cool happens, instead of the background and the sprites there's just this big picture there)
I also think you could make a good sequel of this, maybe.
This is probably my favorite visual novel I've ever played. It's so simple, with lovely endearing characters. I found myself relating to them both, Gakuto specifically (probably for spoiler-worthy reasons). The worldbuilding is fantastic, and the themes are great. I adored the character customization, and the art style is adorable. Thank you for this, Kc.
Lovely and wholesome, just like the other reviewers have said. I too loved Gakuto, I'd love to spend more time in his company and hopefully show him that not all humans are bad. Thanks so much for writing this and making it free. :)
I had fun playing this game! It was really sweet and very interactive. I liked how you stressed out that consent is important and to not discriminate. The art style is very cute and I liked the quick customization at the start. Also, I love Gakuto and Marie's personalities. I admit that I got surprised a few times when Marie randomly popped up lol. Overall, thanks for making this game.
This was adorable! Also, the customization for your own character, including multiple skin tones and they/them pronouns, was really great. combined with the options for sound descriptions and picture descriptions it feels very inclusive.
I really liked the customisation, it was really fun ! also Gakuto is so cute !! I think I've played your games before- its been long since I've played games like these. (I'm actually 11 years old, still continuing dokie dokie!)
something weird happens, I've downloaded it like 3 times now, and whenever I try to open it, the portable file (The game icon tha you are supposed to click in order to start the game) erases itself making me be unable to play!! Has it happened to someone else? please I really want to play :(
That sounds like a classic case of one's antivirus false flagging it because it's not a known program. In which case you'll have to go in the AV's settings to allow it.

Hum, I'm curious about how you proceed for translate it. I'm french, and already worked at professional translator when I lived in Berlin, so maybe I can help for the french version if you explain me how that's work ? That's my way for thanskfull for all this games you made. So, if you l'r interested by, just reply me, ok? In all case, thanks again.
I love this game! I love how it relates to real life as well and also the representation. I love that it's subtle, just something we learn about the character as the story progresses. I did fanart of Gakuto (He's a fav character of mine now, but Marie is awesome too! I love her energy!) on my Instagram. I'll link it, hope you like it!
I really love the casual representation of trans folks. Like, its not that improtant to the story, and that's okay, because being trans doesnt have to be a defining thing, it can just be who they are. Amazing game, as per usual.
cool game, but i have one constructive criticism: that the only pronouns you could choose were he/him, she/her, and they/them. i would be glad if you could somehow program a feature where you can choose custom pronouns, or at least included it/its, xe/xem, and ze/hir
marie is perfect for a mother figure change my mind
anyways, game was pretty great! taught me a little something more about vampires than them turning into bats and wearing strange cloaks...
i loved it. i really do, and it isn't scary or at the very least unnerving(i made myself unnerved because of the answers i need to pick, but that's until i found out i can track back the log, haha.)
gokuto? he's a cool guy. i like him.
marie is on a whole different level though, i love everything about her. you'd expect someone that's a different species to act a little shy around humans, but marie isn't one like that. also, her allowing you to get the answers wrong and not get mad at you is also a nice trait about her(i mean it's meant to educational of course no one is going to get it right the first time dumb dumb)
npc, keep it up! I want to see more VNs from you. I am also one that played 2 girls make a game, and that was wholesome, top level wholesome, i mean it.
of course, don't overwork yourself. I would never want that. I'd say that your next line of VNs will continue to impress me(as a VN customer).
what a fantastic game! we've been fans of your (npckc) games for awhile now and really enjoyed all of them. they always hit this emotional moment with the character that we don't expect and at the right time. maybe because you develop your characters in a pace that we get to know them so well that anything is revealed about any of them, it really resonate.
keep up the amazing work! my partner and i enjoyed it together and really invested our time with your story that it almost had us in tears (happy tears) at the end.
10/10. i started crying for some reason when he said he was trans cause it was so!!!! in the indie game community there are never any trans characters unless their whole character/plot is about them being trans sgdshakdsa. i feel very validated
Just streamed this game because I saw some screenshots & I really liked the idea & the actual concept for it... Such a calming & cute game!!
The themes of acceptance & undertone of 'try to learn about others, and how they do things' made my heart smile... That, a Trans Vampire, & the use of They/Them pronouns! As a Nonbinary person, you just made my evening, too many games don't include those options or character-types.~
What a cheerful and wholesome VN (and a pleasantly surprising bit of inclusivity too!) I really appreciated the themes of active and enthusiastic consent as well as education to eliminate stereotypes. The art direction was en pointe as always and the music was bouncy and distinct. I'm looking forward to whatever else you put out in the future
I love the cultural development in this game. It's very unique! I also really enjoyed the option to say "me too" about being trans because I don't see that kind of representation in a lot of games that aren't focused on LGBT+ or transgender content, and I am trans so of course I chose it! The art style in this game is extremely welcoming and cute as well. Overall, amazing game.

i mean it is easy to be inclusive of pronouns when npckc themself uses they/she pronouns! (source: their pronoun roles in their discord server)
Lovely story and art, I enjoyed it <3 (Also Gakuto and Marie were wholesome but when Gakuto smiled i was really happy, it was cute :>)
Sooooo wholesome!
I really liked the customisation, it was really fun ! also Gakuto is so cute !! I think I've played your games before- its been long since I've played games like these. (I'm actually 11 years old, still continuing dokie dokie!)
Hope you make more games ! - Archii (me)
kawaii design and so friendly music theme make me feels so happy!! marie and gakuto is very cutee >w<
This was so cute!! Marie & Gakuto are both great but Gakuto's smile owns my heart.
I think it's lovely, a cozy little story, I really liked the vampires.

same to me, also i try in "A tavern for tea" and it didn't work, do you solve it?

i don't know how a game can be so adorably informative!! now i have a lot of info about vamps :D the art is so cute,, i love this so much!
Is there no Korean in the language?
This game is so fun & cute! I love that gakuto is trans, I really hope there's a part 2! //I'll be drawing them soon <3//
Great game, like always !

i love this, thank you for drawing it!
I'm glad you do, no problem! It was fun!
This game is great! It has a really unique ideas for vampires! Also, we stan the representation! ><

Finally played this! Um, I dressed the dummy in the sunhat and Gakuto said I put sunglasses on him?
that's a very odd bug... i'll look into it, thank you! (do you remember if you dressed the dummy in anything else, or only the sunhat?)
Long sleeve shirt, jeans, and I think the boots, not the wellies, but I'm not 100% on that last bit.
cool game, but i have one constructive criticism: that the only pronouns you could choose were he/him, she/her, and they/them. i would be glad if you could somehow program a feature where you can choose custom pronouns, or at least included it/its, xe/xem, and ze/hir

oh and if i got the pronouns wrong for the 2 of them by accident, apologies.
this was super sweet! i actually made an account just to positively rate it :]
It's probably a coincidence but these days I've been thinking of writing a story with vampires~ So this game came along at just the right time.
Plus the designs are cute and I liked the quizz. Keep up the good work !^^
It was so cute xx
Aww, I loved that! It was so wholesome!
keep up the amazing work! my partner and i enjoyed it together and really invested our time with your story that it almost had us in tears (happy tears) at the end.
10/10. i started crying for some reason when he said he was trans cause it was so!!!! in the indie game community there are never any trans characters unless their whole character/plot is about them being trans sgdshakdsa. i feel very validated

thank u so much for allowing me to live my dream of being bitten by a cute trans vampire man.... signed, a cute trans human man
I really enjoyed this visual novel! I love the art style, I liked the game mechanics, and I thought the ending I got was very sweet!
Thank you for making this visual novel.
I made a VOD recording of my livestream of it: Twitch
I had fun playing this game. It was cute. The art style was dope.
I played it until the end.
What a cheerful and wholesome VN (and a pleasantly surprising bit of inclusivity too!)

I'm looking forward to whatever else you put out in the future
like to play visual novels here and there and I really liked that this one had more choices than they usually do.
It's adorable and I love <3
Keep making games, I'll keep playing all of them
