Players most often praise the gloomy London setting, soundtrack, characters, and moral conflict between healing citizens and feeding on them. Combat divides players: some enjoy its supernatural abilities, while many find it repetitive or frustrating. Other common complaints include slow pacing, confusing navigation, backtracking, and the single automatic save slot.
