You're a nobody. An outcast in your own vampiric sect. A political prisoner of no particular value. An immigrant who never found her roots in a city of immigrants. A chainsmoker whose favorite pastime is staring blankly at the streets through the windows of a fast food joint at 4AM. The sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach tells you that you're doomed, and distorted voices from the shadows seem to agree. The curse of your clan makes interacting with everyday technology difficult. Dissociation is your natural state.
But when New York's Anarch leader meets a gruesome end, out of all the bloodsuckers in the metropolis, you're the one picked to investigate. Make no mistake: this is obviously a trap, yet another move in the horrible game of Jyhad, the eternal struggle for power between warring vampire generations. But you're Lasombra, and if there's one thing you know, it's this: if the Ventrue Prince and her followers underestimate you, they're going to deeply regret it.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Shadows of New York is a visual novel set in the rich universe of Vampire: The Masquerade. It's a continuation of Coteries of New York, presenting a more personal and unique tale. While Coteries was a general introduction to the world of the 5th Edition tabletop RPG, Shadows offers a narrative focused on personal and political horror.
A continuation of Coteries of New York. See the familiar metropolis through entirely different eyes. Expect new characters, new locations and a fresh original soundtrack.
Play as a member of the Lasombra clan. Formerly vicious foes of the Camarilla, the Magisters decided to search for safety in the ranks of their former enemies. Master the shadows and communicate with the inhabitants of the Other Side, but beware - Oblivion is always lurking out there, ready to devour you whole.
Explore the streets of the Big Apple. While you search for ways to satiate your bloodthirst, catch glimpses of various fascinating vignettes and forge connections with the eccentric inhabitants of the city. One playthrough won't be enough to see it all.
Shape your mind, shape your fate. You used to avoid defining yourself and tried to stay neutral, but given your situation, you can no longer afford to do so. The choices you make will alter the way you think, and your thinking will alter the paths you take.
Shadows of New York is designed to offer a different experience from Coteries. It shares the New York City setting and supporting cast, but is a more personal story told from the perspective of a well-defined character already integrated into Kindred society. You don't need to play Coteries to understand and enjoy Shadows - both stories are separate, different tonally and thematically.
