The best part ? The protagonist is a doctor. Someone who made an oath to save people. All of the endings make sense. The good doctor retained his humanity and didn't kill anyone ? Makes sense. He tried but ultimately had to sustain his thirst ? Fair enough. He had to sustain his thirst because that's just what he is now, even though he is not thrilled about it ? That tracks. He completely went down the rabbit hole and let the hunger consumes him ? Understandable.

A huge appeal of a vampire is the eternal struggle between the human and the monster, and the game perfectly understood that. There is an alignment chart line going from "I would never take a human life" to "I love taking a human life" and every vampire character ever created falls somewhere on that line. And you can put Dr Reid wherever you choose on that line ! It's your choice ! That's what being a vampire is all about !

Not to mention, the game really makes the most of this morality system : the citizens you can kill can go from the worst humanity has to offer to your own mother, but for most of them, it's not that simple. Should you choose to embrace them ? The soundtrack (named "the thirst") that will perfectly, and amazingly, illustrate your fall to the dark side, as your victim is trying to escape your teeth.

Other vampire things this game did right :

-the combat system. Biting people mid-fight is something this game allows you to do. Not only that, it's also one of the most efficient thing you can do. (This game also lets you use a gun. As a vampire.)

-Turning people into vampires. The game also allows you to that sometimes. And it's always in interesting situations too.
