This game really needs either a save system or more balanced gameplay options.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Well simply, despite the game obviously lacking any visual graphics aside from beautiful digitally painted pictures of the characters you meet in the game, and the game being entirely in text, and the lack of a sound track (though that means you can pick your own soundtrack for your playthrough if you like!), there is a lot of room for different choices and outcomes in the game.

Inventory and money system are better than they need to be.

Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
For example, in my first playthrough I played as a Ventrue who had more points in social, technology and combat skills (she used a sword and as a reward was able to learn Potence), so she was able to handle most situations overall but she ended up not being able to save some people due to her not having the skills needed.
