This is prototype for game that might not happen. It takes inspiration from FailBetter's "Fallen London" browser game, tho with few differences: -NO IN REAL TIME ENERGY. If you run out of energy, have character go to bed and start a new day. No need for wait 10 minutes to do next thing. -REMEMBER TO SAVE YOUR PROGRESS. Twine doesn't remember what you did. You can use save to browser or download save file to your pc (mobile not tested and I doubt it works). -Using Fallen London's Stat Format is for most part to test out formula. Final game might not have different things going for it Sounds good? <<button [[Good.|Start]]>><</button>>

The ideas passage that I can look into later date. Crime ambition ideas: Could start as indiana jones type of "go get artifact" and ends with "um. I think you woke up an eldrich beast" Could be whole different cast who is unique to this story only. I do like idea of love craftian thing but that seems to be bit too close to Light Fingers ambition. Which child of the elder vampire do you meet? What if this becomes found family where group of criminals help to raise the youngest child of the elder vampire.
