Bite the Hand
A visual novel about offering blood up to get closer to the person you are.
The story of a boy, or a girl, or a person. Who meets with a woman, or a vampire, or...
And the person gets whisked away as a girl. Which is what she always wanted. Or they always wanted to try. Or
A short 6,000 word story, or wasn't it more like 7,000...
With just the one ending, surely there couldn't be another.

intense and oppressive atmosphere created by the writing style, ambiance, and the illusion of choice dialogue options. i really enjoyed how this was written. the feeling of panic and overwhelm was very strong, but so is the lust and the eagerness to be used and manipulated. when the delirium increases steadily, the descriptions of what bodily sensations are felt are really well done and immersive. i also really enjoy the nonstandard formatting and line breaks used to emphasize the rhythm of the protagonists thoughts
part of what i really like here is the focus on yearning for someone who wants you very deeply. theres also the focus on being a small, petite girl compared to a powerful and domineering partner. the nearly complete lack of care for bodily health in the pursuit of pleasure is very sexy, but the focus on being dressed like a cute doll is also very sexy
ina is really an interesting character, isnt she? i feel a connection to her and empathy.. but wow, zero self-preservation skills make me nervous for her. shes absolutely perfect for this story.
i found a typo in the line "...Is she even a vampire, or is she just lieing to me as she bites me again and again" (correct to lying)
the art is part of what drew me into this story as well. im a big fan of the outfits here and the bloody effects. one thing i would have really loved is for the expressions on demis face to be drawn when she is angry and shouting.
the ending made me sad, but in a good way. also it would be great if the ending screen would lead back to the main menu page.
well done, everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thoroughly enjoyable experience <3 <3
ooooooooF! yess that reveal!! Loved it, the tension builds beautifully and the text effects were really unique!
woooof this is good! i love how it slips between prose and poetry. and damn that ending. i enjoyed this immensely!
Thank you so much for playing! Glad you enjoyed the mode shifts.
I love how stylish this is; the cool stuff you did with the choice menu, and that really cool text effect too! Really cool art too, and the story was effectively creepy! The ending I was able to find also surprised me; really defied my expectations!
Thank you for playing and the nice comments!
The text effect was very fun to put together. I tried looking up glitch text cause I was familiar with zalgo but wanted other ideas. Found a set of odd characters, and in the font I was using it fit the look I wanted so well.
