I have updated the demo!
I'll leave the old buggy version for the sake of it, but I highly recommend trying out the updated demo!
It has a ton of bug fixes and balancing updates, basically all the stuff from the paid version aside from the actual content.
You play as Samuel, a hapless farmer who finds a strange necklace.
This necklace soon curses him, and he must find a way to cure himself before it's too late!
Assuming 'he' will even want a cure by the end...
This is NOT simply a redo in a new engine! This is a complete re-imagining of the original!
Most of the old cast returns, along with a bunch of new NPCs!
The free demo has some bugs, but is functional enough that you should get the basic idea anyway^^
It's also long for a demo, it'll likely take you at least an hour to complete it!
The current PAID game is complete, and VERY well tested. There may be a couple minor bugs,
but it's quite functional! Check out the changelog to see how much larger this game is than the original!
At this point, the paid version is complete!
I have now changed the status of the game to Complete.
Possible bug fixes may happen if needed, but this is it for the actual content.
Thank you for all the support and feedback!

Samuel went exploring a cave near his village, and found a coffin inside it.
And inside the coffin, he found a beautiful ruby necklace....
Samuel has been transformed into a vampire,
and the necklace that has fused with his body is slowly corrupting and feminizing him!
He has to find a way to cure himself before it's too late!
Samuel (Player)
Nicholas, your childhood friend and a novice mage
Katrina, a skilled dark mage who happens to be obsessed with vampires
And MANY NPCs!
There is a tutorial in the "Key Items".
If enough people ask questions, I'll add more text here explaining things^^

V 1.0(FINAL update aside from bug fixes, PAID)
-Added New Game Plus feature, massively expanding replayability
Note: I did play the payed version and maybe not all the way through
Honestly for a game with default assets and kiskae assets its shockingly well made, the transformation scenes are all done really well the the game is never unfair in combat. I do think being a paid game this dev should consider hiring an artist to render the transformations in more detail but with how well implemented everything else is It's not a dealbreaker at all. Basically would recommend buying the full version
I tried the new demo, and there are some core problems with it. The main two are that the maps are too big (and empty), and feeding does not restore enough to the hunger meter. The maximum hanger meter is also too small, and there's too few places to feed in the current version.
Very good game, i had a lot of fun playing through it! <3
I played the original and while this is supposed to be a better version, I am finding the experience to be worse. I will admit I have only played the demo because $15 is a lot of money for an incomplete game with limited production value(this is not a knock on the creator just a reality of the RPG Maker series of engines). I have ran into the same game breaking bug with the unkillable female bandit in the caves of the "nearby forest" and after avoiding her interaction the second try I ran into the same bug the very next combat. I loved the original and might have considered buying this version if it was indeed the promised expanded experience. However, the expansions don't feel worth my money at this point due to the buggy nature of the demo.
With the update to the demo and the bugs being adressed to my knowledge I have to say the experience is very similar but the world has gotten larger. I am curious to know what ihas been added to this world and will be looking into purchasing this game come the new year.
This is not a review of the game:
I'm sorry but whatever version they review is fine. If your demo is so bad and so buggy while the paid one is so much better why do you even have the demo up. The demo is the demonstration of what people can buy and if it looks buggy and like crap they will assume the real product is also because that's what you are choosing to show off. I believe your more complete game is better but just fix your demo if you want a better prospective customer feedback.
