Player Comments of Bloodcrave:

Great game! The art is super high quality and almost everything is voice acted. Love all the choices and how you can choose what kinds of scenes you want to see. Also almost everyone has a dominant and submissive route which is pretty welcome, and there's a lot of variety to the scenes. Overall a fun story and great characters. A very high quality visual novel.

Very good art, interesting story and the main character personality changes between dominant and submissive depending on your choices. Top quality.Personally I play the game for the femdom content, so play him as a submissive and I must say the writing in that regard is really good imho. Perfectly catches the mindset I have when it comes to being controlled and used by dominant females. So definitely recommend it to people into femdom. It's a bit of a slow burn though in the beginning. So you have to be a bit patient.In the end the only thing which bothers me a bit is that we can not name the MC ourselves.

Fantastic game with a lot of promise! Firstly the art is really beautiful and in scenes is paired with smooth animations that aren't at all distracting. There is also voice acting in parts which compliments the writing perfectly. The concept for the story, vampires in a modern setting, lends itself well to hot scenarios. You can either romance your fellow vampire hunters, be enthralled by a sexy vampire, or be the guy to get around.Besides the standard VN formula of text->choice->outcome, the game also has more unique systems in place. The main one being the day planner, at the start of a day you can choose which things you want the MC to do, whether its for stats grinding or pursuing a love interest. Another system I haven't encountered in any other game is the perspective flipping in sex scenes. In a scene there can be 2 different inner monologues occuring that the player can swap between to see, which is also accompanied by a different perspective shot.My two minor criticisms stem from these systems and I should note that the game is still WIP so I imagine these will improve. Firstly the day planning events could be more interesting, a lot of them you can skip through if you're doing multiple playthroughs. I think there should be more dialogue choice options in them for different character stats, so the player is more engaged in the smaller scenes and they aren't just there for player stats. Second criticism would be for the dual perspectives feature and that is just that it is barely utilized. It is very cool and unique but not used as much as it could be. I think it could be great to see the MC's inner monologue while he is being enthralled but then to also see things from the vampires perspective.Other than those minor things, I think this game is amazing and needs more attention. The devs are also very approachable and quick to respond. I asked some questions on this thread and they responded to all of them.

Summary:

Engage in a rich adventure with animated 2DCG art, voiced dialogue, and interactive gameplay. Manage relationships with diverse characters through dating sim mechanics, unlocking new scenes and story branches based on your choices. Experience corrupting powers that alter characters' appearances and personalities as you delve deeper into the vampire underworld.
