Berlin's vampire underworld has a new story to tell. Vampire: The Masquerade - Oaths & Ashes, a visual novel set in the World of Darkness, is now available on GOG.
Players follow two very different characters. Alice is a Ventrue sent to Berlin by her Camarilla masters with a single mission: keep the city's vampire factions divided so no one can claim the underworld whole. Lenz is a Thinblood punk scraping by on the fringes of undead society, surviving on street smarts and an alchemist's knowledge instead of the powerful Disciplines Alice wields. Their paths cross, and the pair must decide whether to trust each other or turn on one another to survive the nights ahead.
The game is built around a living map of Berlin, where five warring factions fight over contested districts and every political move shifts the balance of power. Dialogue runs on a branching choice system, and both characters bring their own tools to conversations: Alice's Disciplines can sway or dominate the people she meets, while Lenz brews alchemical formulae that open new ways through a scene. Players also have to manage their Hunger and keep the Masquerade intact so ordinary mortals never learn what walks among them.
The story is designed to run about 20 to 25 hours and draws on the 5th edition of the Vampire: The Masquerade tabletop game. It was produced by Revive the Spark under license from Paradox Interactive. A demo is available on GOG, and the game is out now at a 15 percent launch discount.
