Kwalee and Flyos announced Vampire: The Masquerade - Eternal Whispers, a new narrative-driven computer role-playing game (CRPG) [1, 2]. The game takes place in a dark-modern version of Montreal and centers on political intrigue, buried secrets, and personal horror [1].
Players control Gabe, a vampire recently awakened from decades of torpor with fractured memories. He is accompanied by Sam, a reluctant Thin-Blood vampire [1]. The narrative follows their pursuit of a rogue ghoul, leading to the discovery of a conspiracy tied to the Temple of Eternal Whispers, an underground cathedral dedicated to a forbidden faith [1].
The gameplay emphasizes investigation, discovery, deduction, and character customization. Notably, there are no traditional combat encounters; instead, violence and ruthlessness emerge through player choices and role-playing decisions [1, 2]. A "Final Death mode" introduces permanent consequences for more hardcore players [1].
The game's design is strongly inspired by Disco Elysium, particularly its vertical dialogue box and immersive role-playing style [1, 2]. Flyos is a respected board game studio known for Vampire: The Masquerade - Chapters. Eternal Whispers marks their first video game project [1, 2].
There is no announced release window or planned console versions as of now [1]. Some speculation suggests Gabe may be connected to the Sabbat vampire faction, a traditionally villainous group in the Vampire: The Masquerade universe [2].
Further details are expected in future updates from Kwalee and Flyos.
