Players of "Vampire: Vampire Escape" will experience the game narrative through two alternate playable characters: Elder-level vampire Phyre and Malkavi detective Fabien.After centuries of dormancy (a deep state of vampire sleep), Phyre awakens in modern Seattle, carrying a mysterious mark that blocks their elder abilities, while Fabien's voice echoes in their minds.As Phyre, players will meet with the ruling class of the city, each with their own motivations. Players will regain the lost vampire power while uncovering the secrets of Seattle's darkness.
Between Phyre's resting nights, dreams and sounds from Fabien's past will dominate.Players will incarnate as Fabien, enter a neo-black style Seattle of the 1920s and use his Malkavi abilities to solve the mystery of his murder.However, the path to solving cases is challenging, as Fabien's broken perception of reality—a characteristic of his Malkavi blood—makes unusually difficult to distinguish facts from fiction.
"Vampire: Vampire 2" is the sequel to the cult classic game "Vampire: Vampire" (2004).Vampire: Vampire 2 brings players to the dark bottom of Seattle, where vampires fight for survival and hegemony.Players will encounter fascinating characters, deal with complex political relationships, prey on city streets, and engage in intense battles while balancing their desire for mortal blood.
The basic game consists of four clans, each with its own unique game style, costumes and disciplines: the rebellious Brujah, the blood magic Tremere, the justice-seeking Banu Haqim, and the persuasive Ventrue.Players must always pay attention to their surroundings, otherwise there will be a risk of breaking the "Masquerade" - this is the absolute law that hides the vampire society from humans.
