The Curiosity Engine and Wadjet Eye Games’ upcoming vampire RPG Nighthawks has a release date: September 23 NZT (September 22 in other time zones). It’s coming to PC via Steam.
Nighthawks is a narrative-focused RPG that casts you as a recently-turned vampire in a world where the existence of your kind has finally been exposed and is somewhat tolerated – although distrust, suspicion, and fear are still common, and vampires still thirst for blood. A failing nightclub is the seat of your empire as you befriend other outcasts and explore the night.
Key features, from publisher Wadjet Eye:
- Explore a lavishly written world of dark shadows and bright neon, where your every decision could push the world towards a bold united future — or a whole new era of fear
- Race against sunrise while exploring a city filled with stories and opportunities both horrifying and humorous
- Meet a fully voiced cast of 80+ characters looking to make a fresh start
- Resist your predator instincts, or stalk the city streets in search of fresh prey
- Use and abuse powerful vampire magic, including Mesmerism for exerting control over the living, Natural Dominion for making animals do your bidding, and Tenebrous Form to effortlessly shift into smoke
- Claw a path from the gutter to the heights of power and influence, until the fate of humans and vampires alike sits within your grasp
Nighthawks is written and designed by Richard Cobbett (Sunless Seas, Sunless Skies), with art by Ben Chandler (Old Skies, Unavowed), music by Thomas Regin (Unavowed), and with Wadjet Eye Games’ Dave Gilbert as producer.
