  • story
    55 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally well-received, featuring a well-crafted narrative with engaging characters and interesting twists on werewolf and vampire lore. However, many players noted that the pacing is rushed, leading to a short overall experience that can feel disconnected from player choices. While some found the romance and character development satisfying, others criticized the writing for being repetitive and forced, suggesting a need for more depth and coherence in the storytelling.

    • “Well crafted story with great characters.”
    • “The plot was well written, and well thought out, with some really interesting twists and takes on werewolf and vampire lore.”
    • “The pack dynamic, relationship building, fights, great diversity and gripping story made Blood Moon such an enjoyable read. I definitely recommend reading it, 10/10.”
    • “The only regret is that the game storyline is a bit short; completing one path takes only two hours, so I hope there will be a chance to play a sequel.”
    • “This is the only novel I think I couldn't sit through to the end simply because of the writing and how repetitive and edgy it seems to want to be. Everything feels so rushed and forced.”
    • “Decently written, but underwhelmingly short, and at many points the story feels disconnected from your character and the choices you've made.”
  • humor
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is characterized by a clever writing style that effectively integrates character-driven jokes, making it feel organic and enhancing character development. Reviewers noted that the humor varies among characters, allowing players to engage with the comedic elements that resonate with them, while also providing a balance of lighthearted moments amidst more serious themes. Overall, the humor is well-received, contributing to a cozy and engaging narrative experience.

    • “The author's writing style carries a sense of humor between the lines, and certain scenes made me burst out laughing.”
    • “The author did a great job with humor here by making it character dependent at times; different characters have different ways of being humorous, some are more cute, some are really dumb (in a fun way), and the jokes they make and dialogue they have feel more like character building rather than a joke for humor's sake.”
    • “Okay, so I knew I had to read this when I got to the bit in the demo with Marco talking about octopus sex; seriously funny stuff.”
  • emotional
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is described as inconsistent, with some characters lacking depth and meaningful development, leading to confusion and a sense of rushed storytelling. While certain scenes evoke investment in the characters and their struggles, others feel forced and superficial, detracting from the overall emotional impact. Despite some engaging moments, the writing's repetitiveness and edgy tone may leave players feeling detached rather than connected.

    • “I love the different aspects of the story; it really made me feel super invested in the characters as well as the story.”
    • “It’s still good, but it just felt quick in a way that made me feel kind of sad.”
    • “[The scenes are explicit (and optional), but I never felt like I was losing track of what was happening, why it mattered to the characters, or how it felt (emotionally or physically).]”
  • replayability
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game offers high replayability due to its numerous choices and varied outcomes, making it enjoyable for players who appreciate diverse narratives. However, some may find the experience less appealing if they are not fond of the romantic elements intertwined with darker themes.

    • “Very well written, fun to play, and great replay value.”
    • “Negative replayability for people who don't enjoy their romance with a side of disgust spectacle.”
    • “There is also a ton of replay value to this as there are so many choices and different outcomes contained in this book.”
    • “There are many outcomes to the challenges you face, and replayability is high.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is generally well-crafted, successfully capturing the essence of wild animals adapting to urban life while maintaining their natural instincts, despite some editing flaws that include spelling and grammatical errors.

    • “The author has tried hard to capture the atmosphere of a pack of wild animals settling down into an urban lifestyle while obeying their natural instincts, and mostly succeeds.”
    • “The atmosphere feels lifeless and uninspired, making it hard to immerse myself in the game world.”
    • “Despite the interesting premise, the overall atmosphere is flat and fails to evoke any real emotion.”
    • “The game lacks a cohesive atmosphere, resulting in a disjointed experience that detracts from the gameplay.”
  • gameplay
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay features werewolf mechanics that may not appeal to everyone, particularly those seeking a straightforward urban fantasy experience; however, some players found that these elements became more enjoyable as they progressed through the game.
