RPG 07 June 2000

An original, virtual equivalent to a popular tabletop RPG known as Vampire: The Masquerade. The plot is based on the concept of two storylines separated by a period of eight centuries. The player assumes the role of a crusader by the name of Cristof Romuald, who falls in love with Anezka - a nun who has taken care of him. When the woman gets kidnapped, the protagonist discovers that he is only a pawn in an everlasting war between vampire families. Bitten by one such being, the knight struggles to find the beloved woman and save his own soul from eternal damnation. In terms of the mechanics, the game is significantly different from its tabletop predecessor, focusing on fighting with different weapons and using vampire magic - it was only a marginal part of the original Vampire: The Masquerade. On his quest, Cristof meets a variety of NPCs who can join him. Because of the specifics of the genre, each of them is described by a set of statistics, which can be developed when experience is gained.
