Twice Bitten (Demo)
A thrilling supernatural murder mystery in a neon-gothic city!
Malakai Catshall is an ordinary inspector assigned to investigate the strange murder of a young woman found drained of blood. The case takes an unexpected turn when he himself is attacked in pursuit of evidence and wakes up changed. Vivek DeValentis, a detective from the classified Special Crimes Investigation Unit, has saved Malakai's life-- at an unlikely cost. Thrust into a secretive society of immortal vampires who live in the city's neon shadows, Malakai has to rethink everything he thought he knew to answer three questions: Who killed the woman in the alleyway? Who attacked him? And what, exactly, is happening to his body?

He's absolutely breaking the dress code but no one stops him. They're either scared to comment, don't care, and/or think it's hot.

Does this demo tells you when it is finished? I am stuck after the diary.
There seems to be a bug-- if you don't look at the diary before getting the key, it might not register as complete. I'm unable to fix this for now, you may have to reload from before getting the key, sorry!
I really enjoyed this demo; the art style and writing are excellent! I also thought it was a nice touch that you're able to pet the cats :)
