Fam I've draw Heath and my Ash again and named "Hi Markus". I've changed Heath's shirt and took off his scarf, how do you think? Look at my homepage, can't remember from what time it was occupied by kinds of vampires-I shall confess I don't have any Vampire fetish ever-heaven knows what happened to me.

Yes I criticized re:h but well that's a horse of different color. It's still one of my favourite, no sharp contract between love and hate.

And I joined alpha of Red Embrace: Paradisus！I really look forward to the full version, Two games, RE:P and BG3 took all my annual attention for the next year.

Now I only have Neverwinter Nights1&2，Planescape Torment，KotOR2, VtMB1，Disco Elysium and Fallout1&2 in my steam and GOG which has not been played yet...I mean, I would be short of games!

After browsing through 2 and 3 year old reddit posts, I can definitely understand why some people ended up feeling betrayed by RE:H. Even though I had the complete opposite experience. I distinctly remember seeing "anti-dating sim" on the itchio page back in 2019, but I guess they didn't keep that to the very end?

It's certainly a depressing game, but browsing all those comments really just makes me appreciate that this game exists even more

(Spoilers ahead)

I can certainly relate to Dov's feelings of frustration at dating sims, the standard of a "happy ending reward" and fluffy sex/romance, all that

I played it when it first came out (and holy shit, it really has been 3 years), and at that point, I hadn't yet accepted my asexuality, let alone aromanticism.

I guess, my point is, the sex and romance in the game really hit a part of me that took a few more years to decipher. I flirted with all the characters in the "standard" way and I honestly dreaded the "relationship end" that would inevitably come. But I was prepared to bear it for vampires and pretty art. And honestly, because I'm used to it. No matter how much you try, you can't escape sex and romance. The best case scenario is finding a few friends that will shut up about it around you

And it is what it is, you know? People find joy in sex and romance and they're not wrong for it. Conflicting needs and all that

...And then, that "relationship end" never came.

I've been replaying the game, currently on Markus' route, which is what sparked all of this.

And Markus... oh, Markus. I did the flirting, I said I wanted to have sex. Some of it was curiosity, I wanted to see ALL the text. And some of it was going along with what I was used to. You flirted, now have sex. This is your own doing.

Now, I'm not much into noncon. On a good day, I simply don't think about it, on a bad day it squicks the hell out of me. Which is a problem when I want to vent out my sex repulsion and read some straight up Bad Sex, and the only Bad Sex I can find is noncon. (I can write my own, but sometimes you just want to relate to a character, you know?)

And then Markus' scene came along, and it was the first time I'd seen some downright uncomfortable consensual sex. He asks if you want to have sex. You say yes. It's on his own terms and he says he will be "doing the impaling". You have sex. It's not good sex.

And with Markus, with honestly the entirety of RE:H, it was the first time that Sex And Romance Conclusion felt... good. It was the first time that reading sex and romance didn't feel like a punishment for my curiosity. "I started this, now I have to see how it ends. Ah fuck, the characters fell in love and now they're having sex. If only I wasn't playing a dating sim. Oh well, it's too late to turn back now"

Which, I admit, is an... odd mindset, given that I could just not play dating sims. But I like clicking the spacebar button and looking at pretty pictures!

I am half joking, I did spend a good chunk of my life reading and playing romance in hopes that, one day, if i did it long enough, I would just get over my repulsion and "be normal"

I've seen people say that the RE:H sex and relationships felt like a punishment. I think that was Dov's original plan, if I remember correctly?

But for me, it was the first time I actually felt rewarded for bearing the flirting. The happy Relationship And Sex reward was never rewarding to me, because honestly, I don't get why anyone would like that in the first place. Why would you ever want something that makes you feel gross and uncomfortable, you know? (I am aware that people in this world do like sex, but I just cannot relate)

So when I got uncomfortable and downright bad sex, I finally felt rewarded with relatability. "Yes! This is what sex is! This is what flirting and relationships feel like!"

This is what sex and relationships have always been to me. Repulsive and uncomfortable and, worst of all, unavoidable. Yes, sure, in real life, you can simply not have sex, you can stay single. But let's be real here, it's unavoidable when you like vampire fiction and action movies. And I could never relate to the fluffy ace characters that just... don't have sex.

I don't have a problem with people feeling betrayed and disliking the game, we all have different tastes. But, for me, at a point in my life where I hadn't accepted myself, at a time in my life where I was trying to "fix myself", RE:H was the first time I could have my cake and eat it too

I'm getting quite emotional. RE:H wasn't my saving grace. It wasn't everything and it still took years for me to get comfortable with myself. But, perhaps, call it a helping hand. A step on the ladder out of my own self-inflicted hell.

Though RE:H is bleak and depressing, and I can't risk playing it when I haven't had enough sleep, it truly means a lot to me and it will always have a place in my heart

Little Snack with Dorian

My Friend and I have made a VTM chronicle based around RE:H.

so came to the Idea that one of the existing character plays a mentor role for the group. I chose Dorian. SO I had to do an illustration for this beautiful man

Hoshek—Red Embrace: Paradisus (+ Answering Asks)

Hoshek, the Psychopomp.

Red Embrace: Paradisus

♦ A VAMPIRE NARRATIVE RPG ♦

WISHLIST ON STEAM FOLLOW ON ITCH

FOLLOW THE RE:P TWITTER

JOIN US ON DISCORD

You can play the Alpha for RE:P on our Patreon!

HOSHEK

House: Fourth Height: 5'11 Likes: Thunderstorms, autumn, church organs, bodily organs, doing paperwork, the smell of mint Dislikes: Robots, wax figures, horses, sloppy work, poor hygiene

Description:

Quiet, gentle, and kind, Hoshek presents himself as the most sympathetic of gentlemen. His deep, whispered words are borderline hypnotic, and it’s easy to feel relaxed around him. Something about his presence lulls one into an unconsciously calm state.

As a funeral home director, he adopts a consistently soothing manner due to his work, helping his clients through their time of grieving and preparing their loved ones for a final rest.

Few vampires trust Hoshek, however, due to his association with the Fourth House. He has a slightly eerie detachment from reality, with a gaze that seems perpetually focused on something not quite visible.

✞———————❖———————✞

Stay tuned for more character introductions in the following weeks! There is much still to uncover about the strange occurrences of 1999…

Just finished my first route in Red Embrace: Hollywood. It was the Markus-Saorise ending.

The game is beautiful, I love how the cgs change with how you design your character. It makes you feel like your character is not just a name written on the side of the screen but an actual person in the setting.

I also love the nightlife-vampire aesthetic as a fan of Vampire the Masquerade.

As you can guess my favourite character was Markus. I am someone who has philosophical ramblings, and I have often thought the same things he has talked about. You definitely get a lot of judgement when you voice those thoughts, so it was very cool seeing my own them typed out and from the mouth of someone else.

Especially during the speech. I bonded with him a lot.

Surprisingly one of the characters I also enjoyed was Saorise. I wasn't sure about her first, then I flat out disliked her because I hate being ordered around, but when I learnt more about her thoughts and intentions I started to appreciate her more.

I wasn't really invested in any of the factions at all, completely neutral on all of them which made them hate me until I bonded with the Iscari at the last second. I was hoping I could be a friendly figure with all sides since everyone has a point and not get involved much but alas...

The postcard. The damn postcard. I thought it was kind of a lazy way to not have a "happy otome ending" honestly.

I appreciated how dark and depressing the game was, it fits my vibes too but it made it seem like Markus had a resentment against you. You offer to leave HW with him and he's like no I don't want to leave but afterwards he's like I'm leaving to learn more about my condition, you say okay and when he leaves he has already found a new companion and you're all alone with Saorise. Apparently this is one of the best endings too.

Damn, way to make a guy feel replacable.

Another thing is, I get this is a dating sim first of all but I would love to have more neutral endings! For people who are invested in the rebellion for example instead of spending time with Randal. I don't know, I haven't developed that thought much yet. But non-mentor endings would be cool for people who just want the story.

In the end though, this ended up being one of my favourite games, and Markus one of my favourite characters. So kudos to everyone on the team! Really inspired me to work on my own vampire story more.

Me, someone who really wants children at some point in life, any time I play a dating sim with an undead or inhuman love interest: I wonder if this character and my MC can make babies?
