Vampire: The Masquerade - Night Road

Vampire: The Masquerade - Night Road is a 650,000-word interactive horror novel set in the World of Darkness and based on Vampire: The Masquerade. You play an elite vampire courier whose choices shape the story. The game is entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects.

A courier in the desert

For ten years, you have crossed the desert between cities, carrying vital information and supplies for vampire elders. After the Second Inquisition hacked phone lines and computer networks to expose and destroy vampires around the world, undead couriers became essential to the elders. Now an old friend returns with a plan to disrupt the blood trade across the American Southwest, putting everything you have built at risk.

You race to deliver secrets, promises and threats before they expire—or before dawn. Once a delivery is complete, you can stay and exploit the situation. You can also modify your car for speed, durability or smuggling, but every journey must end by dawn.

Escape your pursuers

You can drive, hide or fight back against hunters, rival drivers and other threats. Use ancient Disciplines to change form, disappear from sight or dominate minds, as well as blood magic, inhuman strength and creatures of the night. You can also run enemies off the road and keep driving.

Hunger and the Masquerade

Only blood can satisfy your Hunger. Hunt in the alleys and back roads of the American Southwest, and charm, seduce or seize what you need while resisting the Beast’s call to frenzy. Keep your nature secret: if you break the Masquerade, other vampires may destroy you, while the Second Inquisition may find you.

Your place in vampire society

You can play as a male, female or nonbinary character, and choose to be gay, straight or bi. Join the Camarilla, the immortal society of the vampire elite, or try to break its hold on the border states. Along the way, confront the horrors of immortal life in illegal hospitals, disease-ridden prison camps and forgotten research facilities filled with failed experiments.

The Usurpers and Outcasts DLC unlocks the ability to play as a Tremere or Caitiff.
