Curtains Up But The Show’s Not Over! Post Romancelvania Demo Results!
It’s been nothing but a season full of excitement here at The Deep End Games and we’re overwhelmed by the overwhelmingly positive player response to our Romancelvania demo. So let’s start it off with a BIG thank you to everyone who tried our game and provided feedback! Even though the demo is no longer available on Steam, that doesn’t mean the show’s over - far from it!
As we race to the finishing line, we’re also tuning in to hear what our players have been saying! And we’d like to share some of the results from our demo survey to give you a peek of how other players fared in our demo.
Favorite Characters Boy, the love for Vess, Drac, and Medusa are competing for each other's throat and it’s no wonder why! It’s hard not to be in love with our “suave” and “sexy as hell” MC, Drac, taking center stage as our monster bachelor. And Medusa knows how to bring the fun with her upfront sass and humor. One player even noted that her lines “just kept making [them] laugh.”
Though, like every good champagne, our favorite genie-in-a-bottle, Vess, came out pouring with positive responses from fans! Relatability is the secret garnish, as many noted how they just really got Vess. Let’s share our favorite quotes about why Vess was their number one character:
“I just love how tired and done she is, and she has some really adorable interactions with Drac.”
“She is a whole mood that I am here for.”
“She intrigued me, and her interactions with Drac felt most natural to me.”
Favorite-to-Hate Characters In contrast, Brocifer became our favorite-to-hate Jersey boy! Brocifer is definitely a “ride-or-die” choice for many players. To the fans who did pick him as their go-to, let’s share some of our favorite love-hate quotes about Brocifer:
“He's deliciously annoying and very well voiced.”
“His dialogue was to die for and the fact that he is a DJ and makes music is great!”
“He was the character I loved to hate.”
Because of this, he was voted #1 to eliminate at the Black Rose Ceremony. It’s a shame but any good devil always has his tricks up his sleeve.
Date Locations We had a sample of the date locations in Drac’s castle for players to flirt and mingle in: the Fireplace, the Piano Room, and the Gold Room. Is it a casual drink at the bar or hearing someone laying Beethoven on you that gets you in the romantic mood? Neither according to players, because Fireplace is where most players preferred to heat things up! Even though Drac can’t eat, the dining table offers plenty of good opportunities for one-on-one conversation with the contestants.
Abilities There were plenty of abilities to try out in your first run with tons more to unlock in the full version! Losing your powers to Grim doesn’t stop Wolf Dash from being the runner up favorite ability, as you get to speed mercilessly through the castle. However, at number one, Headouken, charges up ahead (get it?) as an ability you gain after meeting Medusa in the Gallery. A throwback to the classic Hadouken ability in Street Fighter, Headouken lets you throw Medusa’s head toward enemies.
Final Words The responses we received on the survey throughout October has been eye-opening for us with tons of positive and constructive feedback! Tis a shout-out to all the shout-outs on social media, it absolutely means the moon and back! If you would like to support us and get a notification when the game comes out, please go ahead and wishlist! More wishlists means more eyes on our game which means more fans of Romancelvania!

Romancelvania | Demo Showcase & Developer AMA
Hello!
We're the creators of Romancelvania, a darkly comic genre mashup that combines side-scrolling action and tongue-in-cheek romance, as a lovelorn Drac is on the hunt to satisfy his blood(lust).
We're going LIVE to showcase our demo and share additional fun facts about the game, developing the project, and what to look forward to in the future. We'll be wrapping the stream up with a live Q&A to answer all your burning questions.
Sink your teeth into our bite-sized demo during #SteamNextFest! 🧛🏻🎬
Thanks for watching!
Ready, Set, Action! Steam Next Fest Romancelvania Demo + New Teaser Trailer!
WOW, we are absolutely thrilled to announce that our demo is now LIVE for the Steam NextFest. It’s not farfetched to say that we are so thankful for all the support and understanding patience we received from everyone to get to this moment. And now, we are one step closer to bringing Romancelvania to you!
Check out our brand-spankin new teaser trailer!
In our demo, you will be able to play the first chapter of Romancelvania for a “bite-sized” version of the experience we strive to deliver to you. To set the scene, you will play as a lovelorn, brooding Drac who, after a century of moping around, is thrown into a supernatural reality-dating show, hosted by the Grim Reaper (aka Grim) himself! Explore Drac’s castle, flirt with early dateable monsters, and fight against some of our outlandish baddies. With this demo, we hope you get a taste of the game’s concepts and mechanics that we have been lovingly brewing up.
For an optimal experience, we recommend using a controller as mouse and keyboard are not fully supported within this demo (but it will be at launch!). For more info on connecting your controller to Steam, please visit Steam's Getting Started Tutorial.
Needless to say, Romancelvania is still in the "mist" of development and we’re actively polishing nearly every piece of the experience, and we welcome your feedback.
And if after playing you find yourself hungry for more: 🖤 Sign up for our Romancelvania newsletter for a chance to win a Steam key at launch! 🖤 Please consider supporting the devs and project by wishlisting!!
One more time, we want to express our appreciation to every single person who has supported us throughout the development of Romancelvania. We hope you enjoy playing the demo as much as we enjoyed crafting it.
For all of our future announcements, we’ll be sharing frequent updates on social media and through our newsletters (& KS for our supporters!). And of course, send along the demo to all your friends and family, because sharing is caring, even in Transylvania.
