Welcome to the World of Darkness

In the bustling streets of New York, passersby are unaware of the evil lurking in the shadows. You, however, know. Hunt the creatures of the World of Darkness in this action RPG, where your choices determine whether you live another day.

Years have passed since the terrible childhood event that still lingers in the darkest corners of your memory. New York seemed like the perfect place to start over, to leave the past behind and live a normal life. That fragile illusion shatters when your childhood friend suddenly reappears, dragging you back into a reality you tried to forget.

Forced to confront the truth, you become a Hunter – one of the few humans who know what lurks beyond the veil of normal life. Armed with determination, knowledge, and whatever weapons you can find, you will track creatures that stalk the streets after dark, uncover conspiracies hidden deep within the city, and fight enemies far older and more powerful than yourself.

Because in the World of Darkness, humanity is not alone.

YOU'RE A MONSTER SLAYER

Personalize your character, from their appearance to their merits and flaws, before embarking on the hunt. But remember, when facing a millennia-old vampire or a werewolf that can easily claw through iron, you are nothing more than a bag of flesh and bone. It’s your choices that will shape the outcome of the hunt. You’ll need more than luck to survive. Lost in the heart of the city, your safe house is an old bar, which serves as the perfect headquarters to consolidate your resources, organize your equipment, and strategize your next move. As the story unfolds, your safe house evolves, becoming a true hideout for other lonely souls ready to fight the Darkness with you.

STALK YOUR QUARRY

Knowledge is a weapon, and each clue uncovered about your quarry provides an additional advantage in taking it down. Spy, infiltrate, hack, threaten, steal…. whatever you need to get the job done! However, consider your actions carefully if you want to survive another day, as every decision has consequences. In a lopsided war where you’re outmatched by creatures that defy nature, fighting with your bare hands is not your best option. Instead, how about building a studded baseball bat, sharpening a silver blade, obtaining a gun, or any other esoteric tool from a shady seller. Be prepared for anything that may happen, as you might only have one chance, one roll of the dice, to eliminate your target.

JOIN THE CELL

You’re not the only one who knows the truth. Others have lifted the veil and chosen to stand against it. They form a Cell: weak humans yet determined to reclaim the night. Meet several companions in misfortune; each has their own story, trauma, creed, and drive. Decide whom to trust, share your secrets… or your heart. Forge deep bonds during investigations or over coffee, before entrusting them with your life in the final confrontation. Their support during missions can be invaluable, but it may also become a burden that leads to a tragic end. After all, no one is immortal among humans.

NEW YORK NEVER SLEEPS

Paranoia is your greatest survival weapon, because the truth is they’re out there, hiding in the streets of the Big Apple. This bartender could be a werewolf. The store clerk who shot you a smile might be a ghoul. This priest is really a vampire. To unmask and defeat them, you’ll need to use every means at your disposal. But be careful: acting without precaution can draw unwanted attention. You risk ending up on a police record or garnering the attention of far more powerful organisations with little regard for your goals, only theirs. You’re not the only player in this underworld war. Your quest for the truth will lead you through the back streets of New York and beyond the East Coast. You’ll start to uncover the reality hidden within the World of Darkness, but the truth is more horrifying than you ever imagined.

BASED ON THE TABLETOP RPG

We’ve long been inspired by the rich and influential setting of World of Darkness, originally created in 1991 by White Wolf Publishing with the release of Vampire: The Masquerade. Built as a series of interconnected tabletop RPG systems using the Storyteller ruleset, World of Darkness grew into one of the most recognizable horror RPG settings in the world, spawning multiple game lines, novels, live-action RPGs, and video games over more than three decades.

For our newest project, we chose to draw directly from Hunter: The Reckoning, a tabletop role-playing game first released in 1999 as part of the World of Darkness line. In Hunter, players take the role of ordinary people who have seen through the illusion hiding the supernatural world and decide to fight back against the monsters lurking in the shadows. Its perspective - humans standing against overwhelming darkness - offers a grounded, desperate, and deeply personal approach to horror storytelling, making it the perfect foundation for the experience we wanted to create.
