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 💖

I can only talk about my experience. You might not feel the same way while playing this game. --- It is a very relaxing and cosy game. I felt loved by almost all the characters. Lunaris is the friendliest town ever. hehehe.... :) If you romance a character, you don't have to "have" sex with them, or kiss them, you can chose the option to simply hug them and that made me happy. --- However, the story was not very captivating or thrilling. I quickly guessed what was going on and so there were no great reveals or twists and turns. I felt a bit bored, but very loved. hihihi...So I still recommend it. If you feel lonely this game will sure remedy that!

This is one of the best visual novels I have ever played and it's safe to say it has become one of my comfort games. All the romances are delightful and unique and the story itself is compelling and interesting. In terms of game mechanics, I love the fact that you can go back by individual lines in case you accidentally skipped something or to try out a different choice. The cast is diverse, the voice acting is phenomenal and the art is absolutely stunning - what more do you need?

Went in expecting to romance hot vampire and witch, and ended up deeply in love with August. They have me in a choke-hold and that's where I'm going to stay for the rest of my life. There is a severe lack of poly rep in dating sims and I am so glad they have some options. Very inclusive, makes me feel very seen. Feel good game with good vibes :)
