Nighthawks review
Postcards from Bat Country.
Nighthawks is a novel vampire RPG that combines the writing of a vampire novel with a text-based RPG experience reminiscent of Fallen London or Citizen Sleeper. Unlike Vampire: The Masquerade, everyone in the world knows vampires are real, so players must act like the police to hide evidence of their gruesome actions. The game allows players to create their character, choose a background, and select a single power, while investigating a traitor within the city of Cradlebridge.
The game features a detective story, multiple sidequests, and a variety of immersive experiences, ranging from comedic to dramatic. The game's pacing is such that players may feel pressured to complete certain storylines within a certain timeframe, but can also fast-forward through non-essential events.
