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.

Prior experience with the series is not required to enjoy this captivating adventure.
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.
