From the user comments:
kind of like combining a kinetic novel with literary analysis and history/philosophy lesson
Has anyone played it yet and can tell me how much of the original story this game contains? I haven't read Carmilla myself and I guess not many potential players have, so I guess this has to retell the plot points that are in the focus of the analysis?
I haven't gotten around to reading the original novel yet myself but from what I do know of the original, it seems to contain everything important.
If I have any complaints it's the art. It's not that it's bad or anything but the outfit designs in particular seem extremely anachronistic. Laura, the protagonist, dresses largely as expected except for the fact her dress is really short which wouldn't have been acceptable back then. Carmilla herself is the one whose design clashes most though. She has dark blue hair for some reason and wears a short dress with thigh highs and rather oversized boots. Her outfit looks much more Eastern than it should and is just completely out of place and anachronistic.
It was an interesting read otherwise though. Fairly short too, only took me like 2-3 hours and that's while I was splitting my attention between it and a conversation with a friend through Steam.
