rpg or visual novel?

[heime2003]

although the store page says its rpg, the game looks like visual novel
anyone insights what i can expect from this game?

It's a text-based game (so more like a visual novel) with RPG elements (you have stats and you switch classes at one point).

It's like those choose your own adventure books.. so more like a visual novel.

Well, having beaten the game twice it reminds me of The Yawhg (also on Steam) but the major difference is your stats don't seem to do very much. You spend the game reading through events and those events can raise or lower your stats, but the only time you really use them is during the final encounter (not like The Yawhg, where your stats and whether you've seen certain events influences how other events turn out).

You have RPG trappings, I guess you could say, but you don't use them very much. You sometimes get a scene or two where it references your class and I think the ending changes depending on whether you've been a jerk or not, but you just have the main story and these stat-building events, your stats don't seem to affect the outcome of events or anything. I think this is my biggest disappointment with this game because the writing is great and it's just dripping with atmosphere and it's just really, really creepy.

Thank you very much.

Also, look into the Shadowgate remake if you want something similar.

I am still interested in Vlad, but the consensus for this game does not look very good. I'll keep an eye out.
