Curtains Up But The Show’s Not Over! Post Romancelvania Demo Results!
Romancelvania · published
It’s been nothing but a season full of excitement here at The Deep End Games and we’re overwhelmed by the overwhelmingly positive player response to our Romancelvania demo. So let’s start it off with a BIG thank you to everyone who tried our game and provided feedback! Even though the demo is no longer available on Steam, that doesn’t mean the show’s over - far from it!
As we race to the finishing line, we’re also tuning in to hear what our players have been saying! And we’d like to share some of the results from our demo survey to give you a peek of how other players fared in our demo.
Favorite Characters
Boy, the love for Vess, Drac, and Medusa are competing for each other's throat and it’s no wonder why! It’s hard not to be in love with our “suave” and “sexy as hell” MC, Drac, taking center stage as our monster bachelor. And Medusa knows how to bring the fun with her upfront sass and humor. One player even noted that her lines “just kept making laugh.”
Though, like every good champagne, our favorite genie-in-a-bottle, Vess, came out pouring with positive responses from fans! Relatability is the secret garnish, as many noted how they just really got Vess. Let’s share our favorite quotes about why Vess was their number one character:
“I just love how tired and done she is, and she has some really adorable interactions with Drac.”
“She is a whole mood that I am here for.”
“She intrigued me, and her interactions with Drac felt most natural to me.”
Favorite-to-Hate Characters
In contrast, Brocifer became our favorite-to-hate Jersey boy! Brocifer is definitely a “ride-or-die” choice for many players. To the fans who did pick him as their go-to, let’s share some of our favorite love-hate quotes about Brocifer:
“He's deliciously annoying and very well voiced.”
“His dialogue was to die for and the fact that he is a DJ and makes music is great!”
“He was the character I loved to hate.”
Because of this, he was voted #1 to eliminate at the Black Rose Ceremony. It’s a shame but any good devil always has his tricks up his sleeve.
Date Locations
We had a sample of the date locations in Drac’s castle for players to flirt and mingle in: the Fireplace, the Piano Room, and the Gold Room. Is it a casual drink at the bar or hearing someone laying Beethoven on you that gets you in the romantic mood? Neither according to players, because Fireplace is where most players preferred to heat things up! Even though Drac can’t eat, the dining table offers plenty of good opportunities for one-on-one conversation with the contestants.
Abilities
There were plenty of abilities to try out in your first run with tons more to unlock in the full version! Losing your powers to Grim doesn’t stop Wolf Dash from being the runner up favorite ability, as you get to speed mercilessly through the castle. However, at number one, Headouken, charges up ahead (get it?) as an ability you gain after meeting Medusa in the Gallery. A throwback to the classic Hadouken ability in Street Fighter, Headouken lets you throw Medusa’s head toward enemies.
Final Words
The responses we received on the survey throughout October has been eye-opening for us with tons of positive and constructive feedback!
