I'm not entirely sure what happened, but the software doing the remote link seemed dead set against my attempts to play the game. But if it had gone well, I probably wouldn't be as excited for Swansong as I now am. For various reasons, however, my preview went terribly. I had one of these for Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong last week, an upcoming thrillery-puzzley-investigation-RPG set in The World Of Darkness universe (aka all them vampy games), by Big Bad Wolf, who did The Council. It usually works very well, with the added benefit that I don't have to get on a plane anywhere. Instead, I found myself defaulting to the option with the highest chance of success rather than the option that seemed most natural for the character.I'm going to jerk back the curtain a little bit here, and I hope the devs will forgive me - it'll turn out okay, I promise! You see, since the pandemic happened everyone has discovered you can do hands-on game previews using remote streaming, provided all parties have a decent enough internet connection. I found myself wishing that each of the three protagonists had preset stats and skills that fit their personalities. NPCs have stats of their own to counter you, and the ensuing give-and-take can hamper your ability to get into character. Each vampire has stats and a skill tree, which all influence your ability navigate tough conversations. The game's reliance on random die rolls can tax your enjoyment of its story. Or if you're feeling reckless or impatient, you can intimidate the weak-willed and kill everyone else - Masquerade be damned. For example, Galeb can stealthily and thoroughly examine the apartment building, acquire the documents, and slip out without being discovered. This tension underpins the game's approach to problem-solving. Breaking the Masquerade won't result in a game over for the player, but it won't be consequence-free and it will influence which of the game's multiple endings you get. To avoid exposure, they maintain rigid rules that preclude them from flaunting their powers. Though vampires can easily overpower a single human, they fear detection by the human population that vastly outnumbers them. You see, you're always acting within the game's central conceit - the Masquerade. Vampiric superpowers are only available if you fortify yourself on the blood of unsuspecting humans.
