‘Vampire: The Masquerade – Reckoning of New York’ Announced for PC, Consoles [Trailer]
Dear Villagers and Draw Distance are once again diving into the World of Darkness universe with their third visual novel inspired by Vampire: The Masquerade. Coming to Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and the Nintendo Switch, Vampire: The Masquerade – Reckoning of New York will once again see you dive into the streets of New York City, teeming with supernatural intrigue.
Touted as the thrilling conclusion to Draw Distance’s New York visual novels, players will navigate the treacherous waters of vampiric politics in Reckoning of New York as you contend with the ever-shifting landscape between the Camarilla and Anarchs. Players will choose between two main characters from two different vampire clans: Ravnos and Malkavian, with each offering their own perspective on the unfolding story. New gameplay mechanics are introduced as you harness the powers of Disciplines to overcome challenges or evade the relentless pursuit of hunters hot on your trail. But as always, beware the insatiable Hunger that gnaws at your very being, threatening to unleash the Beast within.
Currently, you can try out the demo for Vampire: The Masquerade – Reckoning of New York on Steam. No release date has been announced as of yet. The other games in the series, Coteries of New York and its expansion, Shadows of New York, are available on PC and consoles.
The long-awaited release of BlameTech’s first-person psychological horror game No Return is finally here. Or would be, as the review process for the final build is taking its time. Regardless, originally targeting a Fall 2022 release, No Return will be available soon on Steam, bringing with it a focus on elements of Chinese folklore to its story of family tragedy.
Touted as a “mind-shattering journey” that fuses fantasy with reality and taking inspiration from Silent Hill, No Return casts you as the protagonist. You return home one day to discover their once-familiar environment transformed into a “labyrinth of chilling echoes.” As you navigate this unsettling setting, fragmented memories surface, unveiling hidden tragedies and dark family secrets.
Gameplay in No Return has you navigating through your home, encountering strange puzzles that must be solved in order to progress through the hallways. The puzzles themselves blend traditional Chinese culture and folklore, “creating a distinctive Eastern horror atmosphere.”
The entire experience is wrapped up in a dreamcore surrealist aesthetic, where the immersive nature of the game, coupled with its high-quality environments and sound effects, makes it seem like you’re in a dream, but from one you can’t awaken.
