Had a ton of fun working with the artist to translate an ancient design into someone romanceable.

I get the feeling the next game might heavily feature a swan...
(How can they look so regal yet sound SO silly? ๐Ÿฆข)

I wanted to watch my partner play, too, but it's unfortunately not the game for him ๐Ÿ˜…

-> so there is more mileage there. I personally enjoy 'fixed characters with wiggle room' and Phyre is well suited for that kind of role-playing.

Worth mentioning that there is a choice towards the end that locks you into an ending no matter what! That made me a bit salty ๐Ÿ˜…

01.11.2025 22:18 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The plot is linear save for 1 minor mission and the endings slides.
I unfortunately found clan dialogue very lacking, I think it gets brought up 5 times in total ๐Ÿค”
The personality choices affected how the other characters treated me (and the endings, I believe) but not the task they assign ->

Second playthrough done!

My first Phyre was a level-headed, polite Banu Haqim while my Lasombra guy was the definition of a nasty man.

Had a ton of fun with the game, the foreshadowing was DELICIOUS โœจ

Started a new Lasombra playthrough ๐Ÿ‘‘ now I can properly savor the delicious foreshadowing. There's so much already in the first few hours!

Absolutely obsessed with this track from the Bloodlines 2 OST.

Had a ton of fun in my Banu Haqim playthrough and might start a second one already...

Preamble: I'm a massive VtM fan, but I've never played the original Bloodlines.

I had a BLAST with Bloodlines 2. It's a narrative action game, with A LOT of emphasis on the action, which is not my usual genre (I switched to easy after 20 mins). Very strong writing, I loved the protagonist(s) ๐Ÿ˜„

I implemented a simple 2d10 skill check system to an inky project, to test the language, and liked it enough to add "turn based" combat.

๐Ÿคก I know what I'll keep working on...
