Oh no! Mayu’s in a pinch! She’s woefully behind on paying the rent, and her scary landlady, Miss Himemiya, has issued an ultimatum. Mayu needs to earn ¥100,000 by the end of October, or she’ll be kicked out!
Being evicted from her home would be bad enough, but Mayu has a secret: she’s actually a vampire. Mayu hasn’t been a vampire for a full year yet, and the church is keeping close tabs on her to ensure she’s been behaving herself. According to the stone-faced Sister Juriel, it’s the church’s standard policy to execute all vampires without a fixed address, lest they start roaming the streets causing chaos.
If Mayu can’t pay the rent in time, she won’t just wind up homeless: she’ll be executed! What’s a fledgeling vampire to do?
Assume control of Mayu and manage these tumultuous two weeks of her life. Help her raise money to avoid a grisly end, all while managing her stress levels and forming relationships with girls over the internet. You never know: come Halloween, Mayu might be able to land a date, and she might even get to nibble on a cute girl’s neck!
Do your best, and don’t let this upcoming Halloween be Mayu’s last! She’s counting on you!
