A very interesting concept and game. It'd be cool to see how much further you could run with the idea if you had more time. It's pretty choppy, and I wish I could click to advance dialogue.

Awesome idea, probably hard to design the structure for in just a weekend! Would love to see something like this taken further.

@Lane : Thanks - it definitely was! On top of that, we suffered a few setbacks that made us not get quite as far as we'd hoped. We'll probably upload a post-jam version soon to add a few touches and help it feel a little more complete :)

I like the concept, it's different than those "Hey, you are a vampire and you kill people" games.
