Wadjet Eye Games has announced that Nighthawks will launch this fall for PC and Mac. The story-rich vampire RPG takes place in a world where vampires have been exposed, forcing humans and the undead to live with the fallout.
The game is available to wishlist now on Steam.
A Vampire RPG After the Secret Is Out
In Nighthawks, players arrive in a city offering vampires a chance at a fresh start. Six months after dying and being reborn as a vampire, the player must deal with suspicion, fear, hunger, and the politics of survival.
The game mixes horror and humor while asking what comes next after the existence of vampires becomes public knowledge.
800,000 Words and 80 Characters
Nighthawks is built as an 800,000-plus-word RPG set across two years of modern vampire life. Players can explore the city, meet a fully voiced cast of more than 80 characters, and make choices that shape the future of humans and vampires.
Players can either resist their predatory instincts or feed on the city while using vampire powers such as Mesmerism, Natural Dominion, and Tenebrous Form.
From Sunless Sea Writer Richard Cobbett
Nighthawks was created by Richard Cobbett, whose credits include Sunless Sea and Sunless Skies. Art comes from Ben Chandler, known for Old Skies and Unavowed, with Wadjet Eye founder Dave Gilbert serving as producer.
The game was backed by nearly 4,000 Kickstarter supporters.
