About
A Novel Appetite is a dark-comedy adventure game set in a vampire's bookshop. Run Aspen's bookshop by night — shelving, recommending, choosing dinner. You prey only on bad authors. Five nights, one fire, one awkward insurance claim — the shop is never quite the same. Adapted from the maker's book, with hand-cut paper visuals in silent-film style, an original score, and a story in verse. $1.99, pay once and play it all. No ads. No in-app purchases. No account. No data collected. Works offline.
