Herzlich willkommen! If you're a fan of Vampire: the Masquerade and you speak German, it's an opportunity you can't miss!

Just like we promised, we've fully translated Coteries of New York to German. If you couldn't or simply didn't want to experience Coteries in any other available language, you don't have to wait anymore. Grab a copy of the game and experience twisted vampire politics in your preferred language. Additionally, in patch 1.0.11 we've fixed some minor technical issues. And for those of you, who already composed their coterie, take a look at Shadows of New York, a standalone expansion to Coteries of New York. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1279630/Vampire_The_Masquerade__Shadows_of_New_York/ Wanna talk about our games, VtM or ask our devs about something?

Ihr habts gefordert, wir habens versprochen, jetzt wird geliefert Coteries of New York ist ab heute in deutscher Sprache verfgbar!

Falls ihr also a) VtM geil findet und b) Deutsch sprecht, dann schnappt euch eure Kopie von Coteries und strzt euch in den blutsaugerverseuchten Grostadtdschungel des Big Apple! Vorher mchten wir uns aber unbedingt noch einmal fr eure engelsgleiche Geduld bedanken und eure teuflisch gute Untersttzung! Wenn die Gerchte stimmen, soll unser Chefbersetzer sogar jedes einzelne German +1 abfotografiert, ausgedruckt und in sein Poesiealbum geklebt haben... brigens finden wir, dass Vampire die einzigen coolen Parasiten sind; deshalb haben wir mit Version 1.0.11 die letzten Bugs, Glitches und sonstigen uncoolen Tierchen aus dem System gefegt. Euch erwartet also das beste Coteries, das es jemals gegeben hat! Ach, ihr kennt das alles schon? Habt von Aisling Latein gelernt und knnt bei D'Angelo die Monologe mitsprechen? Na, dann wirds aber hchste Zeit, dass ihr euch den selbststndigen nchsten Teil unserer Vampir-Saga anschaut Shadows of New York! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1279630/Vampire_The_Masquerade__Shadows_of_New_York/ Erzhlt uns doch, welche der beiden Stories euch besser gefallen hat, hngt mit unseren Entwicklern ab oder quatscht mit uns ber VtM auf unserem offiziellen Discord-Server!

While part of our team is responsible for overseeing the progress the translators make with bringing new language versions to Coteries and Shadows, the majority of the development team works on Serial Cleaners a single player, isometric stealth action game a sequel to our game Serial Cleaner, which boasts more than 1,3 million owners on all platforms around the world! Serial Cleaners tell the story of four cleaners for the mob shady figures, whose task is to clean after gangsters in New York city in the 90s. Each and every character has a personality and skill set of his own and while the complex story evolves, players will taste four distinct playstyles from very tactical and stealthy to fast and ruthless. All of this in the delicious sauce of Jean Michel Basquiats-inspired art style and music from the era. That said we encourage you to take a look at an actual work-in-progress gameplay, recorded in-game, which dynamically shows the process of creating the map, as well as one of protagonists - Lati, moving around the level, when the cops are arriving to the scene! And the scene itself is one and only 5Pointz, one of the most iconic mural spaces in the world! Check it out below! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4frMErq1Ds If you like what you see, you may be interested in adding Serial Cleaners to your wishlist and follow to stay updated with all the latest information, screenshots and trailers! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1337920?snr=1_2108_9__2107 As always, we encourage you to join our official Discord channel, where you can talk directly with both our Vampire: The Masquerade titles, as well as with Serial Cleaners' developers!

Hello dear members of #vamily! I hope my message finds you well!

We have an important update for our Russian community regarding the localization of Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York. Here's a statement from the project lead on Coteries: We are aware of a growing disappointment among some of you with the delays we're experiencing with the Russian language update for Coteries of New York. We appreciate you reaching out to voice your concerns, and would like to assure you that we take them seriously. The delay we've experienced is down to a number of issues that kept pushing the release of the update further into 2021, but the good news is that we're almost there. We are currently working to stamp out bugs that would otherwise plague the Russian version on release were we to publish the update sooner. Other than some minor issues that we'd still like to get rid off before passing the game on to you hands, we've also encountered a few bigger bugs that would impact all versions of the game. We are now focusing on dealing with those, so we can improve the state of the game for all fans of Vampire: The Masquerade around the world. We would like to ask for just a little more patience, realizing that you've already given us plenty - but would like to pledge that we're between 5 and 10 working days from updating the game with the Russian language version, as well as other fixes and improvements. We are currently waiting for some updated files from one of our partners, and working hard on testing the game - hence there might still be some small delays that make it impossible for us to declare a specific day that the update will go live. We are, however, doing all we can so that it comes sooner rather than later. We assure you, however, that the wait is almost over, and would like to thank you for your ongoing patience. We hope this upcoming update will allow you to enjoy our game and the story it tells to the fullest. As always, you're most welcome to share your feedback on Steam or join our official Discord server, where you can talk directly with the developers. Best regards, Jacek @ Draw DIstance dev team ///

Hello dear members of #vamily, I hope my message finds you well

I have an update for our Russian-speaking players and fans. Even though we were aiming to bring the language version to Coteries of New York by the end of this year, we decided to postpone the update until 2021. We do know that many of you wished for the update to happen as soon as possible and I can assure you that we did our best to make it happen, but we simply need more time for necessary QA testing. Please accept our apologies. We will get back to you with an update regarding the Russian localization in January. As always, I encourage you to join our Discord, where you can talk directly with members of Draw Distance dev team. Again, we're very sorry for inconvenience!

Dearest members of #vamily, how are you?

Just a day ago I had the pleasure to inform you about Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York winning the prestigious CEEGA prize in the Best Narrative category and I'm already back with more good news! Coteries of New York celebrates its first Birthday today! Precisely a year ago, on December 11th, 2019, at 7 PM CET / 6 PM GMT / 10 AM PT the first, fully licensed Vampire: The Masquerade game since many years was released and in our wildest dreams we couldn't imagine that it will be Coteries of New York! Now, 2020 comes to an end. It's been a strange year, a bad year, a difficult year. Many of our loved ones, friends, colleagues got sick. Some of the closest to us lost their battles with the virus and we will always carry them in our hearts and memories... Our studio and Coteries did well. The game recouped its development and marketing costs in just four day since launch, participated in Humble Choice in September, inspired many talented performers and artists to produce wonderful cosplay creations and pieces of art, got its standalone expansion - Shadows of New York and finally received the CEEGA award in the Best Narrative category. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1279630/Vampire_The_Masquerade__Shadows_of_New_York/ Soon, Coteries will be updated with three language versions - French, Russian and Brazilian Portuguese and today, to celebrate the 1st Birthday properly, both our Vampire: The Masquerade titles participate in the first World of Darkness Steam bundle together with our friends from Different Tales, Walkabout and Choice of Games! Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York has a bright future ahead - further language versions, new updates, new platforms perhaps? We're always open to listen to your suggestions and if you'd like to talk directly with the development team, please don't hesitate and join our Discord! Thank you for being with us this whole year. Your continuous support and Presence (!) means a world to us! Stay healthy and well! Best regards, Jacek @ Draw Distance dev team

Hello dear members of #vamily, I hope our announcement finds you in good health!

You learned everything about Vampire: The Masquerade through our gameand other fully licensed VtM products, but World of Darkness is much more than that. There are Mages, Wraiths... and Werewolves. Thanks to our buddies from Different Tales, soon you will be able to find out a lot more about the entire Werewolf: The Apocalypse setting. Written by the people behind The Witcher 1 and 2, and the Wanderlust series, Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of the Forest is going to be a pen-and-paper-like experience set in Europe's last primeval forest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ7CulMwjHk Werewolf: The Apocalypse Heart of the Forest takes place in modern times, in a real ancient wilderness called Puszcza Biaowieska. You'll explore it as Maia, a young woman looking to uncover the truth about her family. During your adventure, you'll come upon many real myths and places surrounding the forest. You'll also find yourself in the middle of an ancient conflict between the protectors of Gaia and the forces that want to destroy her. The special thing about Heart of the Forest is that, much like Coteries of New York, the game itself is the Game Master. It tells you a story, and you decide how to deal with each situation considering your stats or inclination. Weve always found this approach stylish and exciting. Follow & wishlist Heart of the Forest and let us know what you think! Follow Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of the Forest Stay well and healthy, Jacek @ Draw Distance dev team

Hello dear members of #vamily! I hope our announcement meets you in good health.

While we keep working on Shadows of New York, wed like to give you the chance to try one of Ritual: Crown of Horns, one of our other games, for free, thanks to our newest demo. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1059150/Ritual_Crown_of_Horns/ While the fast-paced top-down shooter gameplay of Ritual is obviously different from the narrative experience you know us for, we are sure that you will appreciate the gothic-horror-meets-weird-western theme of our game. In Ritual, you will traverse the entire United States of America to exorcise its demons. Ritual: Crown of Horns is a game about wreaking havoc on history, seeing through false narratives and embracing your inner monster. All the best to you and stay healthy!

Hello dear members of #vamily! I hope you're well and healthy!

This time I have rather unusual announcement to share, as it is not directly connected with World of Darkness and Vampire: The Masquerade. Before Coteries of New York and before we changed our name to Draw Distance, our studio was known as iFun4all. And in 2017 we have launched a game called Serial Cleaner - a story-driven, fast-paced stealth/action game, characterized by a 1970s theme and aesthetics, with unusual premise: players had the chance to become Bob C. Leaner - a proffesional... body cleaner working for the mob (think Mr. Wolf from "Pulp Fiction"). Serial Cleaner has appeared an indie gem hit, which reached more than one million owners on all platforms in three years! On June 14th we have announced a sequel - [b[Serial Cleaners - at the Future Games Show! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1337920/Serial_Cleaners/ Serial Cleaners is a single-player stealth action crime story in which you alternate between playing four eccentric mob cleaners taking on the bloodiest jobs the carefree 1990s had to offer. Please check out the Steam page of Serial Cleaners and if you're into the mood, the premise and the art style, please consider adding Serial Cleaners to your wishlist and follow! Meanwhile we're working hard on Vampire: The Masquerade - Shadows of New York, a standalone expansion for Coteries of New York that will let you play a member of Lasombra this year! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1279630/Vampire_The_Masquerade__Shadows_of_New_York/ Thank you for your continuous support! Stay well, Jacek @ Draw Distance development team

Hello dear members of #vamily! I hope this message finds you well and healthy! Now here comes an announcement, many of you were waiting for in the next couple of months Vampire: The Masquerade Coteries of New York will be getting new language versions on Steam and the first one we can confirm is Russian! Soon we will share further announcements, unveiling other languages youll be able to play in. For now we have completed paperwork and allocated resources to sign the agreement with very talented group of Russian and Ukrainian translators. Im sure that many of you are angry that it takes so much time to finally sign proper localization documents and we understand you. Were doing the best we can to add new languages as soon as possible. Yet, as small indie studio which self-publishes Coteries of New York we need to find a lot of money to be able to pay for translations and its expensive if you consider that the game has around 210 thousand words in dialogues and narrators text! Still, were almost ready to announce more languages coming! Stay tuned and look out for news! Thank you, as always, for your tremendous support! Were always open for your feedback and suggestions and we encourage you to take part in discussions.

Hello dear members of #vamily, how are you today?

The time has finally come! Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York released on Nintendo Switch and the PC version got the biggest update since launch, which not only introduces several fixes and tweaks, but also improved game client with new locations and silhouettes of characters and new collector's content! Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York Deluxe Edition is a bundle, which consists of the base game (significantly upgraded), an artbook (70 beautiful pages!) and official soundtrack (13 atmospheric tracks composed by Arkadiusz Reikowski and Brunon Lubas). The Deluxe Edition is now available for purchase! Official Artbook consists of 70 pages full of concept arts from different stages of the game's development, final pieces of art included in the game, as well as quotes from the game's lead designer and artists engaged in creating stunning visuals - characters, backgrounds, animations - everything that makes Coteries of New York a truly atmospheric, fully licensed part of the globally renown Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition universe. Additionally this artbook will contain link to over 20 Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York themed wallpapers (including desktop and mobile wallpapers and even some animated ones). Official Soundtrack composed by Arkadiusz Reikowski, one of the most appreciated Polish composers, creator of several critically acclaimed soundtracks to games such as Kholat, Layers of Fear, Observer, Layers of Fear 2 etc., as well as by Brunon Lubas - one of the most talented Polish video games music composers, creator of Ritual: Crown of Horns soundtrack. The 49 minutes and 1 second of Reikowski's and Lubas' atmospheric soundtrack consists of 13 tracks. Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York base game has been enriched with several new locations and images of characters, who were previously presented as shadow silhouettes, as well as updated to version 1.0.06 and several fixes and tweaks are introduced:

• Choice of approach fixed in The Gift That Keeps On Giving quest

• Fixed gamepad navigation in The Kaisers Lackey quest
• Improved video synchronization with light animations
• Improved sound design in companion quests
• Various fixes to sound design in different parts of the game
• New location backgrounds added to various places in the game

Of course, our work as a development team doesn't end here. There's still a lot to be done, more content to be added, as well as language versions. In the upcoming months we hope to add several features to Coteries of New York as the best achievable quality is our top priority! Thank you for your continuous support, suggestions, constructive criticism and your engagement!

Hello dear members of #vamily, how are you handling the quarantine?

The times are tough and many of us are forced to stay home, but it doesn't mean we're not working! In fact, in the upcoming days a lot is going to happen around Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York! As you perhaps already know, Coteries of New York expands into consoles: Nintendo Switch version launches on March 24th, while PS4 version is coming a day after. Also, on March 24th the PC vesion on Windows, MAC OS and Linux will also receive a significant update, as well as new accompanying content: the official soundtrack (13 tracks composed by amazing Arkadiusz Reikowski and Brunon Lubas), but also AN OFFICIAL ARTBOOK so many of you asked for! This high quality, official Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York artbook consists of 70 pages full of concept arts from different stages of the game's development, final pieces of art included in the game, as well as quotes from the game's lead designer and artists engaged in creating stunning visuals - characters, backgrounds, animations - everything that makes Coteries of New York a truly atmospheric, fully licensed part of the globally renown Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition universe. Additionally this artbook will contain link to over 20 Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York themed wallpapers (including desktop and mobile wallpapers and even some animated ones). Within these pages is a selection of some of the best art from the game. To see characters and places that my (and the other three authors on this project) writing only hinted at realized by a team of talented artists is truly one of the best things about being a creative in the video game industry. We may have inherited the World of Darkness vision for New York City from many years of Vampire: The Masquerade lore and other creators (such as the team behind 2000s VtM: Redemption), but I believe we have made it, at least in part, our own. Krzysztof Ziba, project lead Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York official artbook comes in .pdf format. You can already add the official soundtrack and the official artbook to your wishlists.

Dear #vamily members, Coteries of New York has launched on PC a little more than 24 hours ago! :)

First of all, we'd like to thank everyone, who decided to buy the game. Thank you for your trust, your continuous support, kind words and great pieces of advice. A game means nothing without a community and we feel that we really found a lot of new friends, who share our love and passion for Vampire: The Masquerade. We're humbled by all positive reviews and comments, we appreciate many of you stood for Coteries of New York in many discussions, which started since the release. Still, it would be unfair to say that everything went smoothly and everyone's happy. Even though we're pleased with the number of copies sold, it has never been our goal to simply earn some money and forget about all else. We're Vampire: The Masquerade tabletop RPG players for many years and many of us - members of the development team - are proud members of the VtM community in Poland. We treat all of you as fellow Vampire fans, we don't see our relation as a seller-customer deal. We want to build a bond, based on the same positive emotions, known to everyone who experienced Vampire: The Masquerade game and fell in love with the setting and mood. Therefore our goal is to be 100% transparent in communicating things and mixed user score indicates that we failed some part of the community we respect most deeply. We believe you deserve an explanation, when it comes to some stuff that you criticize and you have every right to express your negative opinions. Please let us elaborate on some stuff we noticed you talked about very often: [olist]

First of all, please be assured that we're reading every single review, every comment, every opinion, analyze every piece of advice. We hear you and we're very thankful for every voice. We do realize that despite our efforts, we didn't manage to erase every bug and couple of those devils slipped into the game. We promise that we're working as hard as possible to get rid of all of them and improve your satisfaction while playing Coteries of New York. Thank you for your patience, but also for addressing all bugs right away. We already updated the game with a small patch, aimed at erasing a few bugs. Be certain that more patches are on the way!

Some of you were surprised and confused about the price discount. Some of you saw 10%, others 30% and it was our fault that we failed to properly communicate the issue. So, the default launch discount is 10% and it lasts for a week since the release. BUT, we agreed with Valve that owners of one of our previous games, called Serial Cleaner will get a loyalty discount: 20%, which stacks up with the launch dicount and that equals 30%. The problem is that Serial Cleaner owners didn't get any notification, hence the confusion. We're really sorry for miscommunicating this, what we've seen as a pleasant surprise. At least we hope that many of you managed to make good use of the 30% discount!

Lack of Linux and Mac OS support - many of you were angry at us, because we removed the info regarding Linux and Mac OS support just before the launch and you were right. For several months the game's description promised that you'll be able to play Coteries of New York on Linux and Mac OS and in the end we didn't deliver. The reason for that is that the development process of the game took longer than expected. We had to postpone the release and fought hard to launch on December 11th. Because of that we didn't have enough time to properly test the Linux and Mac OS version. So, we had a hard decision to make: release versions we were not 100% certain of or add Linux and Mac OS support later. We decided we're gonna pick the second option and we paid for it when it comes to reviews, but we believe we still made a good choice. We'll make sure to add Linux and Mac OS as soon as possible, because we know that these versions are important to you.

Multilanguage support: Coteries of New York is only available in English and we know that with a rabid-bite novel-like game like ours, with a lot of text, many of you would love to play the game in your native languages. Still, the game is available in English only, because we couldn't afford to pay for localization before the release. We're a small indie studio and we self-publish the game. We had to choose - whether we should move money into writing, visuals and music or pay for translating more than 210 thousand words, pay for proofreading, LQA, implementation etc. We decided that the quality of the story, art and sound is more important and we decided that as soon the game will start bringing revenues, we'll immediately explore possibilities to add more languages, one after another.

Confusing description of the game: some of you criticize the description of the game on its product page. You expressed clearly that it's confusing and does not reflect precisely, what the game is like and what it is about. While writing it we thought it's fine and we never meant to lie of overpromise anything. Still, an external perspective is very precious and we thank you for the criticism. We'll adjust the description to better reflect the true nature and structure of Coteries of New York, as we don't want anyone to feel tricked or mislead! [/olist] That's all when it comes to most important things we observe appearing in reviews and comments. We hope we still deserve your amazing support. As we said before, we're open to every opinion and we treat all of them very seriously. We will work even harder to improve the quality of Coteries of New York and communication with our community. Thank you so much for being with us! :) Draw Distance development team members

[ 2019-12-12 22:01:53 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hello dear Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York players, how are you? :) We've been reading through all the reviews and the whole feedback you sent us since launch yesterday. Your opinion is extremely important to us, and we noticed that there are still some bugs, which have a negative impact on your satisfaction while playing Coteries of New York. Hence, we immediately rushed to build a patch, which eliminates some of these bugs and now we're happy to inform that the game has been updated and certain bugs have been erased. Here's the list:

• fixed Stranger appearance in elevator
• fixed Ventrue section with Stranger in car
• fixed "...Damned if you do" achievement
• assorted minor bug fixes
• minor ui tweaks

I hope this small patch will immediately improve your experience while playing Coteries of New York. Please note that we're always open to every feedback, criticism and advice that will help us improve Coteries if New York. Please share your thoughts and opinions in discussions and you can be sure, that we're reading every single one! Thank you for being with us and your continuous support!

Dear members of #vamily, how are you? :) Finally, this day has come and Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York has launched! First of all, we'd like to thank every member of our community - we were amazed by the scope of interest, so many questions and kind words we read during the last couple of months since the Steam page went live. We also want to thank Paradox and White Wolf Publishing veterans, without whom Coteries of New York would never happen. Although we self-publish the game, Paradox, who is the license holder, helped us much more we could even dream of and hours of conversations with White Wolf Publishing writers and editors, as well as social media ninjas were absolutely priceless - thanks to the community and the dedicated team of helpers on the Paradox side the development process was going smoothly, even though no development process is totally free of setbacks, delays and... surprises. Still, the game is ready and available to all players, who use Windows. We may add Linux and Mac OS support after the launch and we will keep you updated! The development of the game has ended, but our support does not. We have some things planned for the next months, including the console release (PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch) in Q1 2020. We also encourage you to take a look at Coteries' launch trailer below! [previewyoutube=nSVo9srHP4E;leftthumb]Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York Launch Trailer[/previewyoutube] Hence, we hope you'll enjoy our game. We're always open to listen to your feedback and face every possible criticism, of course :) We encourage you to post your reviews and the more feedback you share, the more information we obtain, the more fixes and improvements we'll be able to add to provide you with the best Vampire: The Masquerade, single player, narrative heavy experience possible! Thank you again, it's just the beginning of our Coteries of New York journey and we're honored that you decided to travel with us! Best, Jacek @ Draw Distance dev team

Dear members of #vamily, how are you?

We have a very important information to share!

Hello, everyone! How has summer been treating you so far? Here at Draw Distance, were longingly staring at the blue skies outside our windows as were entering the final phases of development of Vampire: The Masquerade Coteries of New York, our upcoming narrative-focused, fully licensed game set in the globally renowned universe of Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition. As time passes, we unveil more and more information about Coteries of New York. In our last press release, published by many media outlets around the world, we shared tons of data regarding the gameplay, mechanics and story. Heres the tl;dr list of key information we shared about Coteries of New York:

• Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York presents the conflict between two vampiric factions: the traditionalist Camarilla and the fiercely independent Anarchs in New York
• It's a unique, atmospheric, single-player narrative experience, set in the rich, fully-licensed, globally-recognized universe of Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition.
• Coteries of New York present players with choices that matter, aiming to deliver a dark, atmospheric, and emotional narration mixed with morally challenging dilemmas, and many potential paths leading to the storys finale.
• We plan to include significant branching and reactivity, so that the players feel their decisions influence the world around them and encourage multiple playthroughs for those invested in the world and story of Coteries of New York.
• You are a newly-fledged vampire in New York. You must learn what it means to be one of the Kindred in a huge, vibrant, contemporary metropolis.
• You will make choices for your character, including which storylines to pursue and how to approach the different situations presented. You will be presented with branching dialogue choices, memorable characters - all among iconic locales of New York City. Youll be able to use Disciplines appropriate to your clan to charm, sneak, intimidate or kill, and your choices will determine your path.
• Youll build your Coterie and learn your undead companions deepest secrets or see them abandon you.
• Although you start off as part of the authoritarian vampire sect called the Camarilla, you soon learn that other factions exist - chief among them, the independent Anarchs. Your paths will inevitably cross theirs, but whether you choose to shun them, or try to learn more about what they represent, will be your decision.
• While the game is primarily text-driven and story oriented, several mechanics reflect the dark truths of being one of the Kindred.
• Hunger is used to indicate the constant need for blood that vampires must deal with nightly. Characters have the opportunity to hunt for blood during quests. Ignoring this need leads to warnings in the games fiction, and if disregarded for too long, to consequences that include succumbing to the Beast
• Humanity is a measure of how moral and rooted in humanistic principles the character is. This rating is used by the game to modify the results of choices in quests, offer additional story choices, or even lock certain choices out.
• Finally, the Masquerade rating tracks how well the character blends in with mortal society. Staying inconspicuous and hidden from prying eyes is even more important for vampires than ever, due to the existence of the so-called Second Inquisition, a clandestine hunt for vampires concealed within global government agencies. Secrecy and not flaunting your supernatural powers in the sight of mortals is of utmost importance.

Thats all the information weve prepared for today. In the upcoming updates we will unveil more about the characters, Clans, Disciplines and different types of quests! Oh, and by the way, check out the game's main page on Steam - you'll find four brand new pre-alpha screenshots there! We're hope you're pleased with the amount and weight of the information we provided. Stay tuned, as we're preparing to share our first gameplay trailer with you soon! Thanks! Best, Jacek @ Draw Distance team
