Blood That Warms is SO GOOD! Everything about is UNNERVING in the best possible way. I quickly fell in love with the characters, rooting for them and their relationships, which of course gave the tension so much more leverage over me.
If an interactive story of folk-sy SPOOKINESS with beautiful prose and a loveable LGBTQ cast sounds like your thing - then I wholeheartedly recommend Blood That Warms.
If you want to play a game that sticks with you for weeks after you've finished, this is the game for you. The prose is hauntingly beautiful and so realistic that you yourself feel like your in Ashwood Grove. Oh yeah, did I mention that it also has lgbtq representation?
Best horror game I've played in a long while.
It's good. It's gay. It has weird things that stalk you in the night and a general sense of permeating dread and mystery throughout. Support both the gays and your sleep paralysis demons by supporting the dev.
Beautifully written horror, and it's so gay, I didn't know horror could be this gay, this is my new bar 👁
