The game's story is generally considered weak and underdeveloped, with many players expressing disappointment over its repetitive quests and lack of engaging narrative. While it features a point-and-click adventure style and some RPG elements, the core plot—centered around a vampire seeking to become human—lacks depth and is poorly introduced, leaving players feeling disconnected from the storyline. Overall, the narrative is seen as a minor aspect of the gameplay, overshadowed by grinding mechanics and mundane tasks.
- “The game is an adventurous point-and-click style story with quests.”
- “+ a rather cheesy story about the extremes someone (you) would go to for a loved one.”
- “Just when I thought I was at the end of the story, there was one more thing I had to do, which drove me nuts but I finally reached the end.”
- “The story is very sub-par; your character is a vampire who eats human food and wants to become a human again.”
- “The storyline is absent, possibly dead; the graphics and music are bland as three-day-old porridge, and I feel terrible for wasting the several hours I spent completing this.”
- “There's no intro to the story, so you don't really have a sense of what's going on.”

The gameplay is characterized by straightforward mechanics that become repetitive over time, with players managing resources and engaging in a mix of RPG elements, decorating, and mini-games.

Despite its simplicity and some enjoyable aspects, many players find the gameplay loop tedious and not particularly engaging.
- “No need to think too much once you've understood the mechanics of the game.”
- “Gameplay consists of choosing what to do with your daily resources (work to expend money or buy stuff and try to gain progress).”
- “+ skill system makes gameplay enjoyable.”
- “The gameplay is very similar and there's very little innovation.”
- “Gameplay turns out to be repetitive after a while.”
- “However, that is not enough in and of itself to make up for the grating gameplay loop.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the art style and environmental design, while others criticize the lack of resolution options and overall low quality.

Overall, while the graphics may not be the main focus, they contribute to a generally acceptable experience for casual gameplay.
- “I love the art style.”
- “The graphics are darkly environmental - nicely done, and without being too dark.”
- “Pretty damned good looking graphics even though they're not top-shelf compared to some hidden object games.”

The reviews indicate a mixed reception to the grinding aspect of the game. While some players appreciate the grind as a casual and enjoyable element, others find it excessive and detrimental, particularly in a hidden object game where it overshadows other gameplay elements. Overall, the grinding is seen as a significant but polarizing feature, with some players craving more while others feel it detracts from the experience.
- “This game is a casual-but-grindy RPG-on-rails with significant grinding elements (in this case, clicker).”
- “While I don't have terribly high expectations for a hidden object type of game, I still can't recommend you buy this one because it is hours of grinding (yes, grinding in a hidden object game)...”
- “Very little to do other than grind - by the time I finally gave up after playing for 3 hours, I had played maybe 3 hidden object scenes and finished a handful of quests (one at a time since that is the limit) that didn't require grinding for money and then shopping.”
