The game is set in Ottawa’s court of immortals, where the Prince has gone missing, and old alliances are starting to crumble. You play as a newly Embraced vampire loyal to Eden Corliss, the Prince’s second-in-command, who wants you to find out why the Prince disappeared. This could be your chance to take Corliss’s place, but you’ll have to navigate the tight-knit and merciless politics of the immortal court. Choose from three clans, each with different gifts, and master the social scene to ensnare the weak in your thrall. The game lets you play as male, female, or nonbinary; gay, straight, or bi.
