Tokyo by Night: Kindred Inc

Tokyo by Night: Kindred Inc

Summary

With your career on the decline, you've managed to drink yourself into a stupor near one of the busiest stations in Tokyo. Little do you know, you might soon be trading in your soul-sucking job for a blood-sucking one...

Creator's notes

I hope you enjoy my mini kinetic novel! This game was created for the Vampire: the Masquerade jam. It is about 3,000 words, so around 5 to 10 minutes playtime, with one non-kindred ending and 1.5ish kindred endings. It also has a photo of a cat.

This is my first ever game, created in the last two days before the deadline since I didn't notice the Vampire Jam before then. (Fortunately, I have a long commute and had been reading up on Ren'py for another jam I didn't end up doing.) 

It's been really cathartic writing about some of my and my friends' experiences through a VTM lens. I'm hoping to expand the story in the future, perhaps with some art as well, so any feedback is welcome!
