Vampire The Masquerade - Shadows of New York is a narrative game set in the World of Darkness. You play a newly turned vampire taken in by the Lasombra clan, a group that tolerates no failure. When a prominent figure in the city's vampire community is found dead, you are handed the case, and the investigation pulls you deeper into the politics of New York's undead.
Like Coteries of New York, it is presented as a visual novel, with illustrated scenes and choices that shape conversations and the ending. It is a single-player game focused on story, mood and dialogue rather than action. It suits players who like noir mysteries, dark fantasy and the Vampire: The Masquerade setting.
