As the case with most other people, my actual play time is far greater of what's listed because I've been playing through the unofficial patch. That patch is an absolute must, but once downloaded... Oh my god! This game is absolutely amazing!!! The controls and bugs may be wonky, but this story and aesthetic is exactly what i've ALWAYS wanted out of a vampire game. It's dark and edgy, but it doesn't take itself seriously. The lore based off the tabletop RPG feeds you information in a way that's not overwhelming. The sound design and score and liscenced music are AMAZING! I legitimately feel like this game has re-written my DNA.

Negatives: The fact that you have to download a separate patch to even play it IS a pain in the butt, you'd think that steam would sell you a version of this game that works normally. But honestly, it's not hard to download and figure out so it's no big deal.

Another negative is a bit of anti-asian racism. Chinatown and the Kuei-jin just SCREAM "yellow peril". As someone who is asian himself, it was kind of cringe to see how they're depicted in this game: "Oh they're eviler than us, just because."

In any case, that's all my real complaints. If I had to nitpick, I wish I could get my male toreador to flirt with more guys since the girl vampires can flirt with other girls, but it's not a deal breaker or anything. The bugs aren't big enough to bother me either; usually I can reset them if I load up a save. Despite its flaws, I love this game.

TLDR: This is everything I've ever wanted in a Vampire game and I want to replay it again and again!
