This is the next game to come from the World of Darkness series and three vampires, all with very different skills, are at the heart of the gameplay here - so choose between them wisely. But who are they?

First up is Galeb, a brooding and cynical 300-year-old member of clan Venture. Then we have Leysha, a prophet and a mother, and a member of the enigmatic clan Malkavian. And finally there is Emem, a sprightly 100 years old, a jazz diva and member of the seductive Toreador clan. What a fun bunch this is!
