Vampire: The Masquerade hasn’t really had anything new going for it over the last ten years (wow, it really has been that long?) but White Wolf Publishing has a brand new game for the series, joined by a sister title.
The new game is called Vampire The Masquerade: We Eat Blood and it’s sister title Mage The Ascension: Refuge, are both a pair of interactive fiction titles. Not exactly visual novels per se, but they are inspired by choose your own adventure books.
Here’s the synopsis:
“In Vampire The Masquerade: We Eat Blood you’re a young artist who wakes up at night to find you’re no longer human,” reads a statement. “Told entirely through an innovative mobile messaging perspective, We Eat Blood is a sharp, mature, and terrifying story about your first nights as unwilling predator and prey.”

We Eat Blood will of course be chock full of the gritty themes that the Vampire: The Masquerade universe is known for, while Refuge is a bit more topical as you are a volunteer in a Syrian refugee camp that suddenly discovers that magic is indeed, real.
The game will be out on PC as well as iOS and Android from Asmodee Digital. You will be able to pick both up together under the World of Darkness: Preludes title on Steam for RM23.
