Vampire: The Masquerade — Night Road is the deserving winner of the prestigious 2020 XYZZY Awards for Best Game. In this captivating interactive horror novel by Kyle Marquis, players assume the role of an elite vampire courier entrusted with the delivery of highly sensitive secrets.

Set in the immersive World of Darkness shared story universe, this text-based adventure allows players to shape the narrative through their choices. With its absence of graphics or sound effects, the game harnesses the boundless power of one's imagination.

Prepare to embark on a thrilling journey during a new Dark Age for the undead. Vampire hunters from the fierce Second Inquisition have unleashed a full-scale assault on vampires worldwide by infiltrating communication networks. In response, elders have turned to courier vampires like yourself, relying on your exceptional skills to traverse the treacherous desert between cities and deliver crucial information and supplies.

However, when an old friend resurfaces with a plan to disrupt the blood trade in the American Southwest, your carefully constructed world begins to crumble around you.

Outsmart and outmaneuver your opponents as you race against time. Drive, hide, or fight back as you utilize ancient Disciplines, tapping into the supernatural powers of your bloodline. Shape-shift, become invisible, or dominate enemies' minds with your formidable abilities. Wield blood magic, unparalleled strength, and creatures of the night to evade destruction or remove obstacles by force.

The success of your mission hinges upon your ability to swiftly deliver secrets, promises, and threats across the unforgiving desert. Do whatever it takes to complete your deliveries but carefully consider if you should exploit the situation before departing.

On this perilous journey, satiating your insatiable Hunger becomes paramount. Charm, seduce, or seize what you need, all while discreetly concealing your true nature. Remember, breaking the Masquerade—the sacred veil maintaining vampire secrecy—is a risk that could lead to the annihilation of not only yourself but also your fellow vampires, assuming you aren't captured by the relentless Second Inquisition first.
