The storytelling in this game is really good. Just finished Ep.1 Update 5 and, as a fan of vampires and engaging stories in general, i quite liked it. the developer obviously knows how to write a compelling narrative, and he made a smart decision by focusing on a small cast of characters so that he can develop each character well and not leave any character feeling like an archetype. the plot is intriguing, with both the short term and long term goals clear. I quite like what is already in the game, am interested in what happens next, and i highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in engaging and enjoyable stories.
PS: It is worth noting that this game does make some major changes to the Vampire lore, particularly if you are coming from a Vampire: The Masquerade background. Those changes are not necessarily bad, and i actually like some of them, but i thought them worth noting. For a few Examples, so far it has been shown that turning into a vampire is a gradual thing that takes days and suffering instead of an instant "Coma then Profit" change, that Thralls actually have free will except when directly ordered by their master (like a character in the game said, Thralls here are more like celebrities superfans), and that Vampires cry normal tears instead of blood tears.
PPS: There hasn't been any sex so far, which one would normally think of as a negative, but the reason here is to develop the characters well and make the sex scene meaningful when it happens, so it is very understandable and reasonable in this case and i actually commend the developer for doing so. still, it is worth mentioning that considering the normal expectations of games on this site.
