Your voice volume button do not work. It has zero impact on how loud or not the voice acting is.
I like Blackhealth. ^_^
He sounds very devoted.
(Possibly to himself.)
He looks good too. ^_^
...in a Severus Snape kinda way.
I like his drive. ❤️
This is a crackfic. SO crackfic! 😂
(Even if it's not a fanfic... crackgame? lol
Still funny.)
Tom's look improved drastically after the meeting. ^_^
While I admit it IS a creative way to get to know the characters, it's also a bit boring.
Yay! Happy ending! ^_^
....for me. Not for the world.
But that's pretty normal for my happy endings. lol
(Well, I presume. The game doesn't say what happens to the world. I just extrapolate. lol)
....now I'm curious about the other endings. lol

It's not the best game I've ever played (which may be intentional, the humor isn't painting it as a very serious game), but it grows on you.
The art isn't awesome, but it's not bad either. And the character design with the vampire route is nice.
And it's one of the few games that really make me -want- to play it more than once so I can unlock all the routes.
It's a nice touch with the achievement unlocks, and how visible that is.
And the underlying story IS interesting --even if it reads like a crackfic.
We're sorry to hear about the voice acting volume, if it is the actual voice acting performances, then that is mapped to the voice volume, for the character expression sounds, they are mapped to the Sound effect volume. We haven't been able to replicate the issue, so we apologize for the issue there.
We're really glad you liked Blackheath overall and Tom's change in appearance, Blackheath is quite crafty and...murdery.
This game is not a 'crackfic'- that is to say, it is not a fan fiction that is intentionally absurd, surprising or ridiculous - it is a sequel to Royal Duality and the events directly follow on from that game. If your perception is that it is a crackfic/game etc. that is an opinion that you are entitled to, but it is not the intention of the game.
You are similarly entitled to the opinion that you find getting to know the characters a 'bit boring', we think that is again, a storytelling preference that you're entitled to have. Similarly, your perception of 'the best game you've ever played' is entirely yours, we are glad the game grows on you.
Yes... I have an unhealthy appreciation for villains I fear. lol
The last really good game I played was a game where I dated a bat-crap-crazy serial killer. He was very sweet. ^_^
(Once he got over his need to kill you anyho'....)
Killer Chat or something.
And I see.... The writing often trails off into something incredibly comedic, so I assumed it was on purpose.
If that was unintentional, I apologize and point you at Brandon McNulty's YouTube chanal, if you want to improve your writing.
And it's not the characters that was boring --they were interesting.
It was the delivery of the information about the human one that was a bit boring.
I figured any dedicated writer would want to know how to improve their story. ^_^
This was quite enjoyable! Nice writing, art, and voice acting. I'm really liking the Royal Duality universe.
