Our take on Vampire: The Masquerade - Reckoning of New York
The dramatic framing suggests a broad struggle for survival, but the described format is a visual novel with two perspectives. Its highlighted systems—Disciplines and Hunger—shape challenges and pursuit within that narrative structure rather than indicating a large-scale action or open-world game.
