“Cabernet was a game that I've wanted to check out for awhile. There's something about vampire games that tend to have an interesting reflection on what is life. Especially since at least 1 of the characters is dead. It…”

“I loved this game, a very fun and dark RPG where you play as a vampire doctor in the 1800s. I enjoyed the story and sidequests, they're simple and short but they gave us a glimpse into the town and felt closer to the…”

“Stilted dialogue, clunky writing, janky graphics/gameplay, and voice acting that sounds like it was literally phoned in. I've only played two hours and people seem generally positive on this game so maybe it suddenly…”
“One of the best cute little cozy games. Worth the 20 dollars. Will be playing multiples times for different narratives. If you like dark cute games this is a must. could use some more story interactions.”

“Nice, cozy, emotional. Acceptable storytelling, although in the lategame some actions are illogically forced. I mean logically Liza could do many things the other way, more rational or more complex. But it seems okay.…”
