Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be three vampires? Now you can find out in VtM: Swansong.

Vampire: the Masquerade Swansong launched today. Now’s your chance to relive the glory of your days in the World of Darkness. If you’re reading this, odds are good you spent many a lunch hour in a world that’s a gothic mirror of our own. Where primogens and princes wield power in the shadows. Where hungering predators must grapple with their bestial nature and their humanity. But also still look sexy and tormented and sexily tormented in leather and/or lace.

The World of Darkness oozes with atmosphere, and from the various gameplay trailers we’ve seen Swansong wants to live in that. For one, it’s as much detective game and character drama as it is a game about being a vampire. Though don’t worry, you’ll still be drinking blood and using superpowers.

Vampire: the Masquerade – Swansong $59.99

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF DARKNESS

What if vampires were real? What if these bloodthirsty predators lived hidden among us, meticulously and skilfully hatching ancient conspiracies? And what if you became one of them?
In Vampire: The Masquerade, you play as these alluring monsters in a sophisticated world where the lines between the real and supernatural are always blurred.

A HEART-POUNDING THRILLER

Hazel Iversen, the Swan, is the new Prince of the Boston Camarilla. An iron hand in a velvet glove, she intends to assert her power and respect the Masquerade, the vampiric law designed to ensure humans never learn of the existence of these creatures of the night. But nothing works as planned. With rumours of plots, murders and power struggles, you must work in the shadows to protect your Sect in a frantic investigation that plunges Boston into chaos.

PLAY AS 3 ORIGINAL VAMPIRES

Play as 3 vampires who are over a hundred years old. Progress through the game through their intertwined destinies, deal with their different points of view and use their character sheets to try to separate the truth from the lies. Each character has their own abilities and vampiric disciplines that you can upgrade individually to suit your preferred approach.
Will you choose intimidation, seduction or stealth? It’s your decision, as long as you can sate your Hunger for blood.

GAMEPLAY WITH CONSEQUENCES
