When was the last time you ate? You can’t remember. In fact, you can’t remember anything, not even your own name. And yet, your sudden amnesia doesn’t strike you as particularly important.
You are hungry, and that is all you need to know.

Reviews
"...the writing in this one is perfectly freaky in a good way."

"The emotional struggle the protagonist feels is very well conveyed through the text, and the small details shown in the pictures help to get into the story."

cant believe this game is 10 years old, love the writing and the story! nom nom i'm actually hungry :3
Thank you so much for playing!
I know im like 10 years late for this but i cant seem to get the two hunger endings... i got one by accident a few days ago and i dont even remember what led to it ToTT any advice??
Endings 4 and 5 are the default endings you get as long as you avoid any of the early "bad" endings. There is one pivotal choice near the end of the game that splits 4 from 5, and a big hint is in the name of the ending itself.
Alright thanks sm!! ill do my best to reach them^^
I am having trouble getting hunger ending c and you ending c, could someone drop me a guide, or at least give me a hint? I have all other endings.
I really like this game and would love to 100% it!
Thank you for playing! As a hint, A and C variant endings are opposites of each other, and B variants are if you didn't lean too far one way or another. If you were already able to get variant A, you should be able to get C by choosing the exact opposite.
Thank u :D
Estou com fome, vou abaixar o jogo pra ver se assassina minha fome, nhaw nhaw (to mto curioso pra jogar isso)
who's here again after 10 YEARS !!! :3c

This game was published 10 years ago... Why it not so popular?

The windowed screen is somewhat small, and the full screen does not quite fit into a full screen.
Perhaps something to fix?
....why would you feel guilt? o_O
(I admit I ask that every time anyone feels it, but shouldn't the game have some sort of choice as to what you feel?)
I'm not sure if I think the mc is an idiot for not running, or smart enough to know he probably can't....
But it's sad not to have a choice to do so.
WHY can't you choose not to follow along? *sigh*
It strikes me as a singularly stupid idea to obey strangers blindly.
I got the ending 5b.... Which seems like it should be the beginning of a new story, rather than the end.
I hope there will be a sequel to this story. ^_^
One where you escape the clutches of the wanna-be kidnappers.
(Call it what you want, I am still convinced they are.)
It's also very short.

The concept for this game is good.
The writing...a little less so.
It could easily have been the prologue to a much bigger and better game, however.
I think it has a lot of potential.

i’m so glad i stumbled upon this game, its amazing! i love how the writing always managed to make me excited and interested in the characters and wider world — it was perfectly “human” in the way that the protagonist dealt with their situation. these are the sorts of vampire stories i love :) as curious as i am about “them” i really enjoyed the ambiguity.
i love this game so much...except for all the lavender mentions....lavender sucks i dont know one person who enjoys lavender. but yeah. super cool game. just wish there was less lavender ...
Super well made, though I'm very confused. I can't tell which ending I got (if its bad or good) and I lost count on which endings I got. Though, overall, there is plot twists that got me excited! So good.
Thank you for playing! There aren't really any "good" endings in the game, but all the endings are numbered.
(spoiler warning)
this is the kind of vampire story i've been waiting for. thank you for all your hard work! you've made something really special.
Thanks so much, happy to hear that you enjoyed it!
I found the game to be quite enjoyable and got all endings (and variations)! Great writing although I did notice some letters were capital when they shouldn't be. Was that intentional? They were mostly the letter P, if I recall correctly. I still don't exactly know what's happening even though I have some ideas. I'd really love to know your thoughts on the story and characters as well as what the true endings mean to you
Overall, I enjoyed my time playing. Good job!
Thanks for playing and leaving a comment!
Regarding the capital letters, it's actually not capitalised in the script, but in the choice menus/UI font, certain letters with descenders are bumped up so that the bottom of the letter rests on the baseline. (So you can see this with q's or g's, as well). There's no specific meaning -- it's just how the font was made by the designer haha.
The story is meant to be a little vague and open to interpretation, but if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask!
I was looking for a good horror game, I'm so glad I found this one. The writing is superb, and for it being such a short game, the characters and world were interesting. I really like the idea of the vampire hotel. Definitely felt creeped out while playing this, and the mirror ending left me wanting to know more about this character and world.
Thanks for playing, and sharing your thoughts! Glad to hear that you enjoyed it.
The description is well-written, giving the thrill and goosebump to me everytime I read it o.O
The endings are prim (you sure like twist in your story xD). But, I still wonder which one the "bad" and the "true" are... but it's look like when they came home and finally realized their identity is the "true" one? Or when the hunger is solved? But then, I think it's all relative and up to reader's intepretation honestly... ^^"
I just realized that the tittle is such a trickster and word plays, already indicating the type of "hunger" and monster they are xD
That was really great, solid writing, good sound effects. Nice job!
Thanks a lot!
