In the 57 years since the 2019 announcement of Bloodlines 2, fans of the World of Darkness have watched in (the wrong kind of) horror as our hopes for a worthy sequel to Troika’s Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines have evaporated in a flurry of departed leads and dropped developers.
There’s also the battle royale game, which uuuhhh looks bad.
But yeah, Coteries of NY is a good introduction to the world (even if it ends on a weird cliffhanger), and Shadows of NY is a fantastic noir mystery. Heart of the Forest is interesting, but it stops right at the point where you start to learn more about werewolves and the lore, which was a little frustrating.
I have had fun with other Choice Of games in the past, so I should really make time to try the VtM ones!
I really need to check these out. I can work with either style of VN described as long as the story is satisfying. Hadn’t at all heard about them, either.
