This game is hard goddammit. John Doe is stronger than John Reid.

Ummmm... I'm not sure which episode corresponds to the point to the point where you've started posting the videos in the thread and had the opportunity to review them, but here's my take from waching the episodes so far:
Drinking blood from enemies gives you no xp. Zero. Zilch. Drinking blood from enemies when you're at full blood health is thus completely pointless. In this case, you'd be better off just getting some hits in.

E: Also, you've completely forgotten to re-investigate the patient's corpse in the morgue after you died.

1) That's episode 2
2) I don't realize it until much, much later :v:
3) Yeah, I never realized that I have to do it again after dying. For some reason, I assumed at first that my progress would be saved and then forgot about it when I realized that it wasn't

I am now introduced to the curing mechanics and it is more straightforward than I thought. This episode is also exclusively talking, with a reveal of a familiar character. She gives us a [weird?] quest.

This also officially marks the last time I am being an incompetent moron about the leveling system!

It's... interesting, reflecting on how the game starts, about the origins of vampirism, or proto-vampirism, in European culture - the closest word used to describe some kind of a creature that returned from the dead to consume blood or cause other types of mischief was a revenant, or the equivalent, like Vrykolakas in Greece or Strigoi in Slavic-language countries. Basically the idea was someone who returned from the dead, but was still linked to their physical, buried body - unlike a ghost. Vampires are always associated with a corporeal element, even if in the old legends it is a combination of the two (i.e. the 'spirit' is controlled by the body, and if the body is destroyed/treated, the spirit is, too). In a lot of modern vampire lit, it's all about a person being bitten and that's it, but here, we have our PC pulling himself out of a charnel pit. It's very... back to basics. At least in that regard.

People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
He was bitten. His "corpse" was found and thrown into a mass grave.

To be sure, yes. I just mean that with how vampires are usually represented there's usually not a 'return from the dead' scene anymore.

Would you like to play a game?



I just caught up and I'm not sure if you have done it yet, but you keep walking by the ambulance driver who you need to give the wallet back to.

also you should ask Nurse Hawkins about her relationship with the ambulance driver, which was a question for them that you unlocked a few episodes back
