Vampire: The Masquerade - Oaths and Ashes is a narrative game set in Berlin’s vampire underworld, where rival factions compete for territory and influence. You play as Alice, a Ventrue sent by her Camarilla masters to destabilise the city and keep any one faction from taking control, and Lenz, a Thinblood punk trying to survive on the margins. Their paths become intertwined, forcing them to decide whether to trust or betray one another.

Alice and Lenz

Alice is composed, calculating and ruthless. She uses Disciplines, the supernatural gifts of the undead, to sway or dominate others and advance her mission. Lenz lacks Alice’s Disciplines, so he relies on Alchemy: he brews formulae that give him new abilities and can open conversation paths otherwise unavailable to a Thinblood. Strange visions, unlocked by Ashe, show him those who came before and whispers from vampires reduced to ash.

Berlin’s factions

The city’s vampire society is divided among five warring factions, from antagonistic Anarch gangs to remnants of the old Camarilla. Alice’s political manoeuvres shape a living map of Berlin, shifting control of its contested districts. She must influence and command the mortals and Kindred she encounters while ensuring that no faction claims the city.

The setting ranges from gang hideouts marked by drug use to grand opera houses and hotel penthouses. Alice and Lenz move through a society where Kindred pursue their own agendas, and where keeping mortals unaware of vampires is essential to maintaining The Masquerade.

Choices and mechanics

Dialogue branches through choices that shape relationships, reveal secrets and may open or permanently close paths. Alice’s Disciplines and Lenz’s alchemical abilities can provide options at key moments, changing how conversations unfold. You also manage Hunger by satisfying the vampires’ bloodthirst while protecting The Masquerade.

The game draws on the lore of Vampire: The Masquerade and includes mechanics inspired by the 5th edition tabletop RPG. Its branching story is designed to be accessible to newcomers while offering depth for longtime fans, with a stated playtime of 20–25 hours.
