Metamorphosis - my visual novel about a horrible vampire and her many batgirl lovers over the course of thousands of years, is available to play on itch! 🧛🩸🦇 jocelyn.itch.io/metamorphosis

Vampire: (I hate it when women are angry at me... This is getting out of hand. I don't want to deal with this anymore.)

A vampire and a dark-haired bat stand in front of a cave.
Kururu: ... Pahaha! Usually, it's more polite to ask someone how old they are... not how long they have until they die, you know!

The vampire, a bartender, and a bat are at a bar.
Vampire: She's here to make a video. She's trying to be one of those, uh... what are they called again? Influenzas?

something about itch.io's website UX is so wack... whenever i try to find my Collections, i always get lost. and then when i actually find it, i can't just directly add games into the collections??? i'm sure there's a reason why but it's wack
