I actually enjoyed this quite a bit more than I expected, but there are a few things to keep in mind. First, this is really just a visual novel, so expect even less narrative influence than your average Telltale game. You don't get very much leeway . There are a small handful of major and minor fail states, but unless you manage to forfeit your own life as the direct result of foolish decisions you will see the end of the game. Death excepted, the only real failure you can experience is alienating a character enough to not be able to completely their storyline. Second, having some frame of reference for Vampire: the Masquerade outside of the PC games is helpful. This is more like a low action, higher intrigue tabletop game, and in that respect I think it really nails the mood and look. As a laid back atmospheric experience, this is a really pretty solid and enjoyable, if a bit overpriced for what it is.
