I was looking for a bad retro FMV point and click adventure game to play, and this seemed amusing. I initially knew nothing about what Vampire Diaries was. Little did I know that I was entering a huge rabbithole.
This review mostly focuses on the game itself through a fan of point of click adventure games, but with at least surface level knowledge I talk about how this compares to the Vampire Diaries lore. Hope you enjoy it.
Music is from the game, Gabriel Knight 2, and Epidemic Sound. The following Epidemic Sounds songs were used:
Stationary Sign - Haunted Playhouse
Sightless in Shadow - Disposition, In Darkness, Sudden Death, Turn This World around, and World on Fire
Deaf Election - Left With Nothing, Suffocating
