Coteries of New York is set in the same Worlds of Darkness supernatural as the mainline Vampire games but isn’t directly connected to Hardsuit Labs’ RPG Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2, which is now scheduled for launch in 2020 (delayed from an original November date).
The game is a visual novel that, per its description over on its Steam Page, “aims to translate the complex and fascinating world of vampires, their nightly struggles for power and attempts to hold on to their humanity, to a format previously unexplored by the brand – an atmospheric narrative experience.”
Key features
- Choose your character from one of several distinct Clans.
- Every playable character offers unique powers (Disciplines), different ethical approaches to certain issues, and dialogue lines.
- Character-oriented quests allow you to create your own coterie and shape your relations by reinforcing NPC loyalties.
- Highly replayable – choices made in the game are reflected by the game’s changing fiction.
- Various endings depending on your actions – which conclusion will you reach?
- Suitable for both Vampire: The Masquerade veterans, and fans of mature narrative-driven games who are newcomers to the setting.
