For fans of dark, atmospheric narratives steeped in shadows, the Vampire: The Masquerade series needs no introduction. PID Games and Draw Distance have finally released the sequel to Coteries of New York, Vampire: The Masquerade – Shadows of New York, on Android.
Available now for $4.99, this title arrives four years after its predecessor's mobile debut (and two years after its PC release in 2020). It blends a compelling storyline with political intrigue, horror elements, and a touch of existential dread.
The Shadows of New York Story:
While a follow-up to Coteries of New York, Shadows of New York boasts its own distinct narrative. Unlike its predecessor's broader exploration of New York's underworld, Shadows focuses on a more intimate, personal tale. No prior experience with the series is required.
Players assume the role of a Lasombra vampire, masters of shadows, thrust into the clandestine, violent world of New York City's undead. Caught in the Camarilla's ongoing power struggle, you'll challenge the Ventrue Prince and her faction's assumptions about your status.
As a visual novel, player choices significantly impact the unfolding story. Exploring the city's streets, you'll meet new characters, discover new locations, and experience a soundtrack perfectly complementing the game's haunting atmosphere.
