Newer to the visual novel genre, but this is one of my favorite queer inclusive games. Like many games the story has a fairly easy to spot villain by the time you're part way through, but I did not mind due to how adorable and fun most all the cast was to engage. The voice acting was also top notch. Thus far I have only played once romancing one character, but may pick it back up again to romance others despite normally not replaying games once finished.

I don't think I've played a game where I genuinely enjoyed every single option. The story was wonderfully heartbreaking, the endings are all fantastic, and the voice acting/art is gorgeous.

This game is really good I have enjoyed it so far I haven't done Piper, Alkar, Omen or the omen+Alkar routes but I do look forward to them. Aside from the characters the main plot is good very thought out and detailed.

It's been a while since I've last felt this content and overjoyed with a game!! I've been holding off on buying this game, god knows why. It's a perfect blend of The Arcana x Dragon Age series, I LOVED IT. Crime & mystery, romance, magic and a vampire in a graveyard. The voice acting.. good god, I was NOT expecting Fenris' VA to pop out on me in a random steam game. And August.. sigh. I'd jump off a bridge for him. Tbh, I guessed the villain mostly at the start, but still had a lot of questions about it which was fantastic and kept me super into the story till the end. Fantastic writing. 10/10, come get ur vampire fenris

Thank you for the healed soul. After one visual novel, which I won't mention, my heart was broken, although that's putting it mildly, of course. So I needed something to help me deal with these wounds. And "When the night comes" did it. It's a delightful game with an interesting, if predictable story. It features cool characters, as well as the opportunity to enter into a relationship with not one, but two characters at once, which made me especially happy. Besides, the visual novel is incredibly beautiful. I'm glad this game got in my way, and the only thing that upsets me is that it's quite short. I would really like to know more about the characters' past and future, but alas. Love to all 💖
