Description
The secret world behind the lights of the Big Apple is opening its doors to you once again. Your life changed for the worse on the eve of your Embrace and you are now a Kindred, a vampire, part of the Lasombra clan and thrown in the mist of the eternal political struggles of the Camarilla. This conflict is your reality and if the Ventrue Prince and her followers underestimate you, they will deeply regret it.
**Vampire: The Masquerade – Shadows of New York** is a visual novel set in the rich universe of Vampire: The Masquerade, and is the continuation of the story started in **Coteries of New York.** You don’t need to have played **Coteries** to appreciate and understand the story behind **Shadows of New York.** While Coteries was a general introduction to the world depicted in the 5th Edition of the hit tabletop role-playing game, Shadows presents a more personal and unique tale.
- A visual novel tackling themes of personal conflict, horror, political struggles and of course, what it means to be an undead.
- 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. 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 New York. 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.
- 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.
Whether you're a seasoned veteran of Vampire: The Masquerade or a newcomer to the franchise, **Shadows of New York** offers a mature and atmospheric experience that captures the essence of its source material.
The New York games invites you to immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of the World of Darkness, a universe that encompasses the iconic tabletop roleplaying game and acclaimed video game titles.

Ratings and Reviews
Not good, but not bad either.
(⚠️Minor spoilers ahead⚠️)
Same as its predecessor, or Sire I should say, Shadows of New York was lackluster at best. For the $4.99 price point I guess I shouldn’t expect less, however I was hoping for more after I got to taste the *vitae* of Coteries of New York. It felt awesome to see previous characters in SoNY, and to even mention our previous protagonist (Clan Brujah was the best imo) from CoNY was something I was not expecting, but I welcomed it nonetheless. The games’ entire dialogue was superb. The characters, old and new were… a questionable change at best as if shadows of their past selves, for example Qadir, I can’t help but feel he’s gotten *soft* in terms of his mannerisms and the way his dialogue was conveyed, as if a *shadow* of his former self. Same goes for Kaiser.(Still can’t believe he let my homegirl Julia jump him like that) Overall, a solid 4.5 out of 5 in my book.
Tedious
Unlike Parliament of Knives and CoNY, this book (and yes I mean book, not game) is tons of tedious monologue/dialogue punctuated by very occasional meaningless decisions. PoK, despite not having the graphics of this book/game, it was extremely replayable because your decisions could lead to wildly different endings. You also had a choice of clan and gender.
In this game, you are a female Lasombra, period, no choices. And CoNY ultimately had the same ending no matter what you did, and I have a feeling this one is the same. Inferior to CoNY and dramatically inferior to Parliament of Knives. Regret this purchase.
