LiEat (a portmanteau of "lie" and "eat") is a short freeware RPG by △○□× (Miwashiba) made in WOLF RPG Editor. It's the first game of a three-part series.
A con artist calling himself Leo travels with an unusual girl named Efina.
They arrive in Vermilion Town, and learn of the vampire legend told there.
Leo doubts there's much of value in the town, but if the legend is true...
This is a short story about an hour long at most. There are some battles, but they're not particularly difficult.

Supported Platforms
The game's engine is made for Windows only, with no native support for other platforms. To play on Mac, you can try a general-purpose tool like WineBottler.
Troubleshooting
Make sure to extract the game to its own folder instead of running directly from the ZIP file. If you don't do so, any saves made will be lost the next time you run the game.
If dialogue doesn't show up or uses the wrong font (which may cause cutoff text), download and install MS Gothic.
