PID Games and Draw Distance have released the long-awaited Android sequel to Coteries of New York: Vampire: The Masquerade – Shadows of New York, priced at $4.99. This release arrives four years after the mobile debut of Coteries of New York and follows its 2020 PC launch. Expect a compelling story filled with political maneuvering, horror elements, and a touch of existential dread.
What's the Story in Shadows of New York?
While a sequel to Coteries of New York, Shadows of New York boasts its own unique narrative.

Players are thrust into the clandestine and violent world of New York City's vampires as a member of the Lasombra clan—masters of shadows. However, you'll find yourself embroiled in the Camarilla's ongoing power struggle, proving to be a formidable opponent to the Ventrue Prince and her associates.
As a visual novel, player choices significantly impact the unfolding story in Shadows of New York. Exploring the city's streets, you'll encounter a cast of memorable characters, discover new locations, and immerse yourself in a soundtrack perfectly complementing the game's haunting atmosphere.
