If you're a fan of dark, moody narratives and love getting lost in the shadows, then you probably adore the 'Vampire: The Masquerade' series. PID Games and Draw Distance have released the sequel to Coteries of New York, titled Vampire: The Masquerade – Shadows of New York. This eagerly awaited title is now available on Android for just $4.99, four years after the release of its predecessor on mobile devices. It was initially launched on PC back in 2020. Shadows of New York offers a compelling narrative interwoven with political intrigue, chilling horror, and a touch of existential dread.
What’s The Story In Vampire: The Masquerade – Shadows of New York?
While Shadows of New York (SONY) is a follow-up to Coteries of New York (CONY), it stands strong with its unique storyline. Unlike CONY, which offered a broad exploration of New York's dark underbelly, Shadows focuses on a more intimate narrative. No prior experience with the first game is needed to fully immerse yourself in this sequel.
In Shadows of New York, you step into the shadowy, blood-soaked world of the undead in New York City. You play as a member of the Lasombra clan, renowned for their mastery over shadows. However, you're also entangled in the Camarilla's ongoing power struggle. If the Ventrue Prince and her allies underestimate you as just another low-ranking Kindred, they're in for a surprise.
As a visual novel, Vampire: The Masquerade – Shadows of New York thrives on player choices. Your decisions directly influence the unfolding story. As you navigate the streets of NYC, you'll meet new characters, explore different locations, and be enveloped by a soundtrack that complements the game's haunting ambiance.
