At first the levels are small and contained, giving you a chance to get a handle on everything the very first place you explore is Hazel's Court, which has a couple of two-room areas to look at. Each has a different level to play through at each stage of the story, and you can tackle them in any order you like because it's all taking place at roughly the same time. On balance my favourite is Galeb, because he is very serious and tired and this particular combination is very funny. They're very different, but all interesting and very well-acted, which you need in a game like this. Your three leads are extremely cool nightclub owner Emem Louis, reluctant soothsayer amnesiac Leysha, and quintessential vampire's vampire Galeb Bazory.
Neither leaves you much time to loaf about being all sexy, though. Since developers Big Bad Wolf are the folks behind The Council, the role you take isn't an action hero but different shades of spy and/or detective. The Prince, an Annie Lennox cosplayer called Hazel Iverson, has called three of her most trusted lieutenants in to firstly check on the immediate aftermath, and thereafter investigate the wider fallout and strike against whodunnit. Set in Boston in 2019, you begin in medias res after a sudden violent attack on a party has left the Boston vampire court reeling. This is probably because the three vampires you play as in Swansong aren't exactly on their down-time. Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong has taught me that they actually spend most of their time walking around looking at things, sometimes stopping to have tense conversations or pick up keycards. But Swansong also has a lot of walking in between them - as well as some potentially annoying bugs.įrom the 90s onwards, movies taught me that vampires spend all their time eating and having sex with people (often concurrently).
Mystery and intrigue at a vampire court is fun, and there are some great puzzles and conversation battles. Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong review
