I don't mind having to restart too much, but having all the stat choices & getting entirely different progress based on seemingly arbitrary conversation choices, started to grate on me.
I re-did stuff a few times, making different choices, until I could pass the checks.
That was a bit aggravating.

I didn't use the WT mod, so played & rolled back\reloaded, until I got what I needed.
That takes a lot of the fun out of playing the game, IMO.

Do I want +1 Power for going after the cnut who stabbed me? Or do I want +4 Control for letting it go?
Went with +Control, then subsequently found out I need Power to unlock the Traits.
Aaaargh!!!
Welcome to the Club, i managed to get where I was before, cussing like a Mariner, yes, it was anoying ! now it is done,
Power activates also some options with the Nut vampire daughter, or so it seems,

Yeah, it was her stat checks I went back for the most.
First time around she threatened to rip my heart out (& did, if I made the wrong choice!).
Next time she didn't even really threaten me, she seemed far more curious, than angry.

I'll give it another update & see how it goes, once it's settled.
But, if it continues like this I don't think I'll bother much further.
I don't want to have to keep a spreadsheet, for a basic game. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Started playing this game yesterday and so far it hooked me good. Reminded me of the old Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 among some others from genre.

I can say I got far in the story and did use the walkthrough mod to guide me a bit. Nothing too much but now I'm at a point where I have 3 quests unlocked and after I did the one with the doctor (2nd visit where she explained more about lore and took blood) I can't progress anymore once I get back home.

When I look on map one of the quests has the title but no description and the other 2 when I click on them it keeps saying I can't go there yet. Same for the neighbors when I knock on their door.

Did I soft locked myself somewhere down the road? I did refuse that girl at coffee shop earlier telling I'm not interested in her but it's such a stupid way to get locked out. Also did follow the guy who stabbed me at the start and spared him.

The game is really great so far but I don't really think I can start over again considering how long I've been playing up to this point? If it's just a known bug I suppose it's better to wait for future fixes.

need to wait future versions (which will add more quests to be completed on future versions etc).

TLDR: the Dev forgot to ad the notification when you reach the end of content, and no you didn't softlock yourself no worries,
all good.

I am no longer able to request my post get promoted to the OP from the mods. Only the owner of this thread can do it for me now. Otherwise this is the only notice you get that I have updated my android port.
Oh, no! How can I help? Do I need to report your post?

on remake no meeting mommy, 1st date with zoey and few other scenes.
I read the entire comment exchange a couple of you guys had, and I must admit I have no idea what the hell are y'all talking about. There was no game remake, all the content that was in the game in v0.7 is still in the game in v0.8.

What happens if your control or energy goes below zero? Will it be just game over or different content path?
Energy is used for activating powers (the mechanics is already implemented but it doesn't really do anything yet). No concequences for negative energy except not being able to activate powers. Control shuts down some paths and opens up (or forces down) some others. It also serves as a sort of a balancing act, as many choices that give you power, allowing you to expand your vampire skill set, reduce control.

I have to say, i dislike the new skill progression system a bit where checks are made based on maximum possible points: E.g. a nerdy DnD background guy with high base science (10) will miss the science check with the doctor, just because he didn't use the "computer isn't working" excuse at work & didn't like the vampire life after talking to the forger. Imo if you are good at something, you should generally be able to make a check even if you don't single-minded always choose a vaguely science related answer. Also, some way of catching up (e.g. "learn" how to be more intimidating based on your new circumstances) over time would be great, so easy and (with some experience) normal checks get in range. But i understand that 2nd wish is way harder & would require lots of extra work.

I can understand the "percentage of max" system for relationships - but for abilities i would prefer if it wasn't so strict in disabling related content.

Thats nothing big tho & great game, reminds me of Vampire:Bloodlines and Vampire:Swansong
Thanks a lot for the input, it is very much appreciated! It's very hard to balance things out with so many variables at play, so these kinds of issues might pop up here and there.
That beings said, I believe the choice you mentioned was about knowing that sea sponges have stem cells system which is not a common thing to know, so I feel like a harder check is warranted in this particular case. With more choices adding skill points these checks will be relatively easier to get as you won't have only 2-3 opportunities to boost your stats to adequate level.

How did it take me so long to realize that the same developer of this game was the same one that did Robbin Hoods... I was sad when that game wasn't continued... damn... I gotta play this game now if it's even a fraction of how good that one was :D

madmate.games
Quick question, would you ever consider returning to Robbin Hoods? It was such a great game and premise :love:
I'd like to finish that game, and I promised that when I'm done with this one I'll spend some time figuring out an ending, but I have to say that I barely remember much of what I wanted to do and the documentation is spotty at best.
I asked what "Psychology 101" is, the incomplete Quest with no information.
It's a bug, you shouldn't have that quest available. Will be fixed in v0.9.
Yeah, it was her stat checks I went back for the most.
First time around she threatened to rip my heart out (& did, if I made the wrong choice!).

I sympathize with your plight, I truly do, but I have to say that having someone complain about too many choices is a good problem to have as a game designer.

I just remember that I really liked the bashful (redhaired?) tough chick and the sister. Though there was some lesbianism mixed in which was a bit weird, but all in all, it was great.

You introduced that game as "Oh, do you see my life is perfect? Want to know how I got here? Let me show you how I managed to have my way with my sister and all the other women in my life in this mansion." It seemed it was a bit ambitious that's for sure. haha!

As for this game, it doesn't seem to have the I word, so I'm not AS interested, but if it's as good as Robbin Hoods, I'll check it out!

You can't, it's not implemented yet. I forgot to add the end of content messages when doing the implemented quests.

I tend to drift to the megalomaniac side of things, that's true. And for Robbin' Hoods I was mostly unprepared, just jumped into it with a couple of ideas. This time around I took more time to figure things out, though as they say, you can never have enough preparation.
The Bite still has a narrator, though it's not an annoying braggart from the future, but more of a classic book type of a narrator, switching between inner monologues and objective observation.

Still quite a ways from being close to finished, but damn do these people like to have very dangerous conversations in semi-public places. Especially at Zoey's apartment door. Fucking go inside for those you idjits!
But being a vampire is cool and edgy! Why shouldn't they let people know they are vampires? I even named my character in a subtle and clever way to advertise/hide that he is a vampire!

i like the idea of the plot of the game quite well. however, i am a bit unsure. with a 0.81 version, i expected much more. furthermore, i also miss an overview to see how far the protagonist is trusted by the other characters.
