If you like visual novels, and like Vampire the Masquerade, you'll probably enjoy this. It's atmospheric, has good (albeit short) storylines and a good balance of choices versus text. If you want an open world RPG, move on - it aint for you. If you are familiar with the visual novel game play, this will be famiiar with some nice quality of life gameplay elements added in. Here's what I liked: - A VN with quality artwork that is not Anime-based - A VN that is not a highschool romance, "quirky" or a harem conquest - A dictionary feature that allows you to read more about the VtM terms and background - A stripped down blood hunger game mechanic - I could play through 2 of the 3 main storylines in one evening - NYC map was a nice touch, worked well - Day/night cycles gave the game a nice pace What I didn't: - Underdeveloped. Could have used more polish, better Q/A (I found at least 6 errors) - Character choices have limited game impact - No real multiple endings, which is a classic (and IMO essential) part of the VN genre - Story arcs that don't mature properly - No way to discover various story twists ahead of time through your gameplay choices - I could play through 2 of the 3 main storylines in one evening
