I am oblivious to the fact that my best friend is a vampire
In I am oblivious to that fact that my best friend is a vampire, you take on the role a goofy lil guy who just wants to be better friends with someone. Make sure you have a great hangout! And definitely don't read into any little idiosyncrasies you may encounter.

Read this because I also have a vampire-related story in the Queer Halloween Stories bundle, so I’ve been scoping out the other vampire-makers. I need to emphasize that no singular piece of interactive fiction has ever allowed me to depict the startle I feel when someone knocks on my door and I’m in the middle of something in my kitchen. “fuck the Brita, fuck the water spill.” You were so real for that. Toward the end, I treated my best friend kind of how I would want to be treated if I came out to them, which is, “don’t ask too many questions, just let this part of me take up space,” and I feel like I was able to do that pretty effectively, even with such short responses. I know it probably feels like I’m reading into this too much, but I feel like a lot of games like this tend to push you into asking all sorts of probing questions in order to pad out the substance of the game, and I wouldn’t want to ask too much about my friend being a vampire. I really loved just being able to say “oh cool!” and ask if they could have human food or not. Treating being a vampire like it’s a food allergy is so funny to me, but it’s also so real. Being a vampire can be being a vampire, but in this case, it’s just your friend, so I take their confession as like, “hey, I just wanna tell you that… I’m probably really old.”
Also, love when vampires can have human food/aren’t repulsed by it. Love when vampires just get to be people.
I think a day at the beach would be a lovely next friend outing
It's just so silly!
adorkable!! literally LOL
Love this friendship! I think their next hang out should be friendship bracelets. They can make vampire puns on them and they can have little pointy tooth charms
So cute <3
No sleepover ending? No friend with benefit ending? No night date? COME ON!
this is adorable, would awkwardly invite my vampire bff over the threshold into my home again
This was so freaking cute <3
