Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong is finally coming to Steam on May 25. The game is adapted from the fifth edition of Vampire: The Masquerade, and offers a new approach to gameplay where each choice matters when investigating and interacting with others.
The game is set in a world where vampires are real and have been hiding among regular humans. These creatures of the night live in complex societies and are involved in conspiracies for thousands of years. Players take on the role of a human who has been turned into a vampire and now has to experience a sophisticated world where the lines are blurred between real and supernatural.
The story focuses on Hazel Iversen, the new Prince of the Boston Camarilla. With an iron hand in a velvet glove, she plans to assert her power while making sure that the Masquerade is respected. The Masquerade is the vampiric law designed to make sure humans never learn that vampires exist. Of course, nothing works as planned and in the middle of rumors of plots, murders, and power struggles, players have to work in the shadows to protect their Sect.
Features of the game are:
- Three playable vampires, each having unique powers, motivations, and personal terrors.
- Each of the three heroes has a character sheet with their own characteristics. There are also skills and clan-related disciplines which can be upgraded and used freely.
- Original gameplay in which every dialogue interaction advances the story.
- A branching storyline in which every choice matters.
- A gripping thriller set in a dark and glamourous world, faithful to the tabletop RPG.
- An original soundtrack composed by Olivier Derivière.
- More than 15 different endings.
