Clan Malkavian: A Hallucinatory Accomplice
It has been said that a Malkavian is never truly alone—their visions and prophesy are a constant companion—but in your case, the concept of solitude has lost all meaning. An accomplice stalks your footsteps, often out of sight but never far away. It clouds your mind with fractured perception and insight, but not always in equal parts.
As a vampire of clan Malkavian, an eternal companion accompanies you. None but you can see it or hear its words of wisdom and delusion.
The unseen companion is yours to interpret as you see fit—name, gender, appearance, and demeanor.
Others too are afflicted by Malkav's gifts. Your sire Eden Corliss and her childe Lucca are each changed in unique ways, with new twists waiting to be discovered.
Clan Lasombra: A Keeper of Shadows
Clan Lasombra has ruled from the shadows for centuries, leaders among the savage packs of Sabbat vampires at constant odds with the Camarilla and their Masquerade. Until recent nights, that is. The Lasombra have chosen to meet the constant threat of the Second Inquisition by joining with the Camarilla, but old grudges are not easily forgiven.
Control the otherworldly forces of Oblivion as a vampire of clan Lasombra.
Hide in plain sight or emerge from the shadows. Many in the Council believe that you and your sire belong to clan Ventrue. A necessary deception. But now that the Lasombra are integrating with the Camarilla, is it time to reveal your true nature at last?
I wanted to give a quick thank you to two of our beta testers who went way above and beyond the call of duty:
Thank you to Aletheia and Eiwynn!
Of course I also have to thank the magnificent Amy Wilkins for her beautiful new portrait artwork and my editor Jason for putting up with me every step of the way!
You’re very welcome, and thank you for being super cool to work with and, most of all, for creating this wonderful story. It was a true pleasure to have even a tiny part in getting this new content ready for release, and I’m excited to see what readers have to say as they discover whole new dimensions within the game.
Nevermind i found it the app just didn’t update yet. Thank you for adding in the Storyteller Mode for free. It’s a thing that I wish more games here had.
Here’s a heads-up: when you play as a Malkavian and your imaginary friend asks where in the world you’d like to travel if you had the chance, tell them you’d like to go to Europe. They’ve heard tales of how poorly a certain Prince is managing things in his domain …
If you’ve restarted a couple of times and it’s still happening, I suggest you contact support@choiceofgames.com and let them know what happened in as much detail as you can.
Just finished my first playthrough with the new content and loved it! I played as a Malkavian and had an awesome time. I think the Malkavian curse was handled really well, in both the mc and in Lucca, avoiding problems with making unreliable narration while staying true to the Clan’s bane. Sorry to go off on a bit of a tangent, but it reminded me of how during one of my more productive periods I was writing a piece that had a Malkavian protagonist and he had a similar manifestation of the clan curse. There was a scene where one character is surprised by how lucid he seems and he replied along the lines that he was perfectly sane, it was is his hallucinations that were crazy which was taken as a joke when he was being perfectly serious. Reading the new update reminded me of that and made me smile, so thanks!
I tried a new path this time and was pleased with how it turned out, I learned some new things while missing others I found on previous play throughs, showing off the great variation. I’ll have to try a Lasombra next, because I think that’ll be fascinating too. Thanks for an awesome read, it was really enjoyable and made a rough time a bit better for me.
It is awesome! I hope you get to play it soon too because it’s really well written! I loved how Lucca’s form of the Malkavian curse was a callback to traditional vampire folklore, with her having a sort of a arithomomania.
Really loved the game, so I’m pretty happy to return.
