Cabernet Sauvignon Review – Monsters are genetics

There are many pleasant interests Cabernet SauvignonThe concept of monsters being central to hereditary information, initially seemed to aim to achieve similarities between the protagonist’s vampire and the father’s alcoholism. But Cabernet Sauvignon dares to dig deep into its information, delving into the cruel periodicity of humanity to each other, especially about the treatment of the lower classes, and many of the disadvantages of society are often the result of the evil inheritance of the old rich. All of this constitutes a compelling aftermath story, and every choice has the potential to surprise you with the power of horror. The game's malfunction Mar Mar The Game's excellent conclusion, but even if the introverted development party doesn't solve these issues in a post-release update, the last hour journey to Cabernet is an incredibly interactive novel.
Cabernet Sauvignon is a 2D narrative-driven RPG from 19th-century Eastern Europe, which begins with the funeral of the protagonist Liza, where you take a brief role-playing as her uncle and give a eulogy that determines the direction of Liza's life, then Turn to Liza. When you wake up in the dungeon. Not sure how she got there, Liza made a contract with the omnipresent contract of freedom before discovering a party full of vampires. Soon, she is also a vampire now, and this new life has many rules, like the need to keep craving for blood and stay away from the sun. But there is also a huge freedom for this transformation, as Liza is full of supernatural abilities that enable her to go where she has never been able to go, escape from other people's behavior, often quickly arrested, and pursue passion, and love big Most mortals. Her station cannot be easily done.

In this sense, Liza is a middle-class stand-in, which in real life emerged during this period. Liza cannot be associated with the centuries-old Countess, who ordered all vampires in the area to live in a mansion full of wealth, nor could she fully sympathize with the dream of learning music and improving herself but must work The poor farmer girl is in the field for hours so that her family can eat. But Liza can step into two worlds and see her own judgment and ordeal, and while she can’t fundamentally change the relationship between the poor and the rich, she is one of the few in town who can influence the lives of both One of the people. Social field. This setting sets the foundation for the supernatural fantasy in the real world, and is implemented in the story, and even the simplest choice, the emphasis on narratives.
The poetry of Liza's new vampire station is frightening because she now has to be whimsical about a wealthy and immortal elite group while maintaining the blood of mortals, the easiest of which are poor. You can fight the metaphor by letting Liza out of time to buy bottled blood, but doing so has little money to improve Liza's life in life, which can improve her skills. To make Liza completely successful, she will have to provide food for people at some point, and Cabernet Sauvignon ensures that the richest characters often fail to touch Liza's teeth.

Cabernet Sauvignon clashes with the moral system, a conflict between Lisa's humanity and her nihilism. I am a big fan of the difference because unlike many other moral systems, this doesn’t put your choices in a good evil framework. Although most choices that increase Liza’s human nature are usually moral, they are not all. Similarly, while having liza embraces nihilism is usually a darker route, not all of these choices are totally evil. For example, using rabbit blood to save money or lying to save someone’s feelings is an act of nothingness, while preaching to the rebels that they should give up any and all forms of violence and believe that it is humane to do the right thing for those in power to do the right thing action. There are some strategies that can drive Liza into one rather than another, because as Liza grows humanity and/or nihilism, you will use certain characters to unlock unique conversation options that allow you to better navigate difficult conversations . But Liza can also unlock unique dialogue choices by improving the expertise of a specific skill – I chose a Liza that is good at understanding arts and science but struggles to talk about history or literature, so there are usually many ways to solve a problem.
Trying to find a solution is most of the gameplay of Cabernet Sauvignon. Liza has only a limited amount of time to complete tasks each night, some of which are much more time than others, so you have to carefully draw and plan your schedule. While it is possible to do everything for everyone and accomplish every optional goal, my experience is that I have to choose and choose more carefully, and the order in which I help individuals is affected. Her need to drink blood was further exacerbated by the pressure of her assistant and building relationships with twenty main characters. As mentioned earlier, you can buy bottled blood, but you will find other expenses that quickly run out of money.


In the legend of Cabernet Sauvignon, vampires can only drink from the people they are fascinated first, lest humans learn their existence, and Liza can only attract those who trust her. This requires understanding your possible victims and, in your most desperate moment, to decide who you are willing to provide for. Even if Lisa’s victims don’t remember what she did to them, the feeling is like they were being exploited, subconsciously reducing their perception of Lisa and potentially affecting future conversations. To increase the excitement (and fear) of the dash, you can’t see the physical state of the Liza victim when feeding, only how much blood you smoked and the moments Liza enjoys when the color returns to her face. When you think Liza has enough, you can order her to stop – a little while Liza may need to feed on others before the end of the week, but take too much, and the person in question may just die.
There is a clear comparison between vampire and alcoholism throughout Cabernet Sauvignon, but the game misses how the machinery works. Although the game warns you, some of the risks are nothing more than the risk of wild water ech, exhausting and killing someone, but I never did. While the game requires you to track Liza's blood levels, it feels more like being at the top of the food meter in a survival game than facing and managing addiction. This doesn't ruin the gameplay, but it does create some disconnect in the story with friends and loved ones, but never becomes a problem. There is an interesting consideration that overfeeding and overflowing Liza's hematometer causes the meter to run out faster, so overfilling the charge meter can often make everything impossible, even without It may be all night without feeding someone, but this is easy to avoid. I could easily get it by feeding only once or twice a week, which had minimal impact on her relationships.


In any case, the human element of the story is the stars, not the vampire. Cabernet Sauvignon is all about making choices, but its power exists in the stories that revolve around them. Each scene is captured with the vitality of darkness, similar to the paintings of that era, and composer Jim Fowler (Bloodborne, Littlebigplanet) gives all of this beautiful Gothic mysticism. And, almost every major character has left memorable narrative footprints, thanks in large part to excellent voice work. The reward of seeing how the personal arc of Liza’s friends, enemies and acquaintances can work is only revealed how each of their stories weave together, informing the greater narrative and Liza’s place in the world.
One of Liza's first missions was the Countess' mission: She was asked to be friends with her husband or wife who lived on the road, winning invitations to their homes so she could cross the threshold and seep into the house , steal some documents in the house and deliver the above documents to the processing program. Whether or not you have Liza agree to the Countess’ request, even if she does, it is up to you. Your mark is a couple struggling with serious marital and financial problems – the wife is a talented musician who feels suffocated by her husband, who asks her to be a housewife while he strives to find himself at the bottom of a vodka bottle creative grooves. Are you focusing on being one or two goals? Once you have invited the invitation, when will you break through? Are you stealing from new friends indoors, do you disobey the Countess' orders and browse the files when they find them? Do you even pass files to handlers or have you never found them lies?


There are many different ways this mission can end, setting the stage for at least four main characters to see Liza forward, while the consequences I still dealt with until the final moments of the game. Cabernet Sauvignon is full of stories like this, and over time you can choose to choose or ignore each story. (You promise a girl will save her brother, know he is in town, and the time limit pops up lets you know when he is bleeding is not very long? Longail and kill him, do you satisfy her dark desires? Many Unexpected surprises and welcome twists, the consequences of the game never feel unfair or failed to get. I was very satisfied when the points rolled, but also eager to replay the game to see how the different choices affect the end result.
Cabernet Sauvignon wasn't a completely smooth experience as several late game breakdowns prevented Liza from mailing letters and completing the last step of the two side missions I really hoped to see. During the finale, another glitch also made me softly lock me up, which prevented me from clashing with the incredibly persuasive octopus Liza. After restarting the task and not being able to progress the way I wanted it, I started again and Liza forced her out of it. It's not the way I plan to do things, but it worked and I was able to keep playing the game and finish the game. These failures have caused the final moments of my favorite RPG for a long time, so hopefully these issues are clarified by the patch after they are sent.
Aside from the problem, Cabernet Sauvignon is an incredible RPG. The concept of comparing vampires to addiction is nothing new, but this storyline is constructed in the 19th century middle-class real history, which is for Liza’s story and for her friendships, betrayals and smooths in the struggle. A wide variety of people add to the convincing undercurrent to master her new survival. The consequences of Liza's behavior make people influential and see the arc of each character keeps filling the narrative. This is the level of quality that a story about vampires should strive for.
