This is a visual novel in which players assume the role of a vampire investigating a murder while navigating conflicts between New York's clans. As players follow the storyline, they make dialogue/action choices to affect the plot. One interrogation scene gives players the option to “do whatever is necessary”; the torture sequence is described in text (no actions depicted). Another scene depicts the aftermath of a gunfight, with corpses lying in pools of blood. The game references sexual material (e.g., “[He's] a... sexual predator...”; “...some weird psychosexual stuff with her brother”; “You just told me your bosses are having Eyes Wide Shut parties, and suddenly you don't believe in rich people's pedophile rings?”). The game includes brief drug content: references to Ketamine and MDMA; dialogue such as “Maybe this one time, the high won't end”; "I have to replenish my stash"; "No drugs tonight"; “What are you, a junkie?”). The words “f**k,” “c*nt,” and “sh*t” appear in the game.

About the Game
You’re a nobody. An outcast in your own vampiric sect. A political prisoner of no particular value. An immigrant who never found her roots in a city of immigrants. A chainsmoker whose favorite pastime is staring blankly at the streets through the windows of a fast food joint at 4AM. The sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach tells you that you’re doomed, and distorted voices from the shadows seem to agree. The curse of your clan makes interacting with everyday technology difficult. Dissociation is your natural state.But when New York’s Anarch leader meets a gruesome end, out of all the bloodsuckers in the metropolis, you’re the one picked to investigate. Make no mistake: this is obviously a trap, yet another move in the horrible game of Jyhad, the eternal struggle for power between warring vampire generations. But you’re Lasombra, and if there’s one thing you know, it’s this: if the Ventrue Prince and her followers underestimate you, they’re going to deeply regret it.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Shadows of New York is a visual novel set in the rich universe of Vampire: The Masquerade. It's a continuation of our previous title, Coteries of New York. While Coteries was a general introduction to the world depicted in the 5th Edition of the hit tabletop role-playing game, Shadows presents a more personal and unique tale.
- A visual novel tackling themes of personal and political horror, suitable for both Vampire: The Masquerade veterans, and fans of narrative-driven games who are newcomers to the setting.
- A continuation of Coteries of New York. See the familiar metropolis through entirely different eyes. Expect new characters, new locations and a fresh original soundtrack.
- Play as a member of the Lasombra clan. Formerly vicious foes of the Camarilla, the Magisters decided to search for safety in the ranks of their former enemies. Master the shadows and communicate with the inhabitants of the Other Side, but beware – Oblivion is always lurking out there, ready to devour you whole.
- Explore the streets of the Big Apple. While you search for ways to satiate your bloodthirst, catch glimpses of various fascinating vignettes and forge connections with the eccentric inhabitants of the city. One playthrough won’t be enough to see it all.
- Shape your mind, shape your fate. You used to avoid defining yours
