According to Takano, he did not expect such a reaction - even non-gaming publications like The Guardian supported the hype. The art director was especially surprised that someone found the giant vampire sexy: "Personally, I was struck by the comments in the spirit of" I want her to haunt me. "

They desire something taboo about you – your blood, your life force – and they have to hurt you to get it, but the ecstasy of having your blood drained is always framed as sexual.”
