Review by Matt S. Earlier this year we reviewed Vampire: The Masquerade – Coteries of New York. It was a decent attempt to bring White Wolf’s modern gothic pen-and-paper vision to video game consoles via the visual novel medium. The developers are on to something with this license and property,…

News by Matt S. “If you like Persona, Adventure Games, Anime, Sci-Fi and existential dread then this could be for you.” I’ve got to say, it’s pretty ballsy for an indie developer to go out and promise something comparable to that. As someone who is indeed a (massive) fan of…
