You play as a protagonist who is, frankly, a little broken. You aren't a hero. You aren't saving the world. You are trying to save your rent deposit. The game mechanics mirror this drudgery: you work a day job mini-game that is deliberately boring, you scroll through social media feeds that give you anxiety debuffs, and you try to convince yourself that going out for "just one drink" is a good idea. The title is a pun that cuts deep. Yes, there is a vampire/supernatural subtext running through the narrative (the "bite" as a literal act), but the real horror is emotional. In v0.1.9.8, the dialogue trees have been expanded to punish the "people pleaser." Stay safe out there
