March 2025

First off. I really REALLY like this game and I will undoubtedly play this game many times over BUT one thing that bugs me so much is the "romance". First you meet a character that you can flirt with and tease to hell and back only to find out that nope cannot romance that guy because he is gay...And mind you they could have made everyone gay in the game and I would not have minded if I realized it from the get go. But I played hours and thought it was so OBVIOUS this guy would be someone you could romance. But no...you cant... I was very dissapointed at first but then thought...hm... must be someone else of these great characters that I can romance instead right? RIGHT? Well you can be a homewreaker and be appart of some adultery because that seems like a good idea or something that is morally right...and if that does not tickle your fancy you can get together with the only romanceable female vampire... or a stereotypical book nerd that you guessed it...only talk about BOOKS! At this point I dont even understand WHY they advertise the game as having romance. Because I would have been more fine with it having no romance and knowing so from the get go than playing for hours and then feeling tricked like this. Even so I will recommend this game as it is a really good game and once they fix all of the bugs this game will probably still be on my top list of games this year. But I still want to express my disappointment of the romance aspect. And I will hope and wish that one day they might add the possibility to actually romance someone that is even somewhat worth romancing. But until then my Liza will be as single as can be.

I have an obsession with all things related to vampires. I have watched a lot of shows, movies, played a lot of games, and read a lot of books pertaining to vampires, and I can confidently say that Cabernet is now among my favorites. It has been a long time since I've truly felt a joy and lightness while playing a game, and Cabernet—with its amazing story and art style—was able to give me that feeling. To all of you involved in the process of making this game, from the bottom of my heart, I truly thank you. It was an amazing experience. One that I will keep coming back to.

Feb. 2025

If what you're looking at on the steam-page looks good to you, this game will be fun. However I think you should probably wait a bit before buying it so that a few of the bugs can be patched out. Quite often I had to restart my day because something glitched and I think this game wouldve been even more fun if it hadn't been for that. PROs: - the story and characters are fun (although it is more "philosophical" than horror) CONs: - the game feels clunky in some parts - the saving system is not great. Just being able to safe at a certain space is quite frustrating with this amount of bugs and reloads - "Is this a bug or a feature?" is something you ask yourself a lot and most of the times its a bug

Feb. 2025

My playthrough had a frightening amount of bugs, which did quite dissapoint me - it softlocked me a few times and softlocked me out of multiple quests. Especially without a save system that was either more convenient or had more than 3 slots (shared with autosaves) those stung,badly. However Cabernet nevertheless ended up a lovely experience. I'm impressed that it seems to have improved and opened the game up a lot compared to the demo. I think I'd really like a proper follow-up to it, maybe with a bit more budget behind it. Biting people, breaking up marriages to seduce the wife and turning corpses into talking dolls has never seemed more fun! Lovely experience, I'll probably replay it a few months down the line when the game is patched up. EDIT: I wanted to include this paragraph at the end of the review, as I didn't originally get the "happy" or "good" ending quote unquote. I've since replayed to get it. I believe as I've read through the credits and even watched some talks that Arseniy gave on making games that he's the main person spearheading the writing. The epilogue of the game,to me, as someone from Russia spoke to me, on such a deep, painful, sad level and brought me to tears, which happens, so, oh so rarely with anything in my life. The message of hope, hope persisting among the endless horridness, the depression, the misery the unfairness of lfie is something so core to me as a person, almost every word said in the epilogue made me feel like I'm talking to a reflection of myself. Arseniy said that he wanted to make games that makes the player experience the feelings,the emotions that the developer wanted and that they themselves felt. You've succeeded. Спасибо. What a beautiful game.

Cabernet has incredible story-telling, wonderfully written characters, and phenomenal voice acting. I love turning into a bat and flying around. Looking forward to spending more time with this gem.
