This new developer diary for Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 showcases exciting gameplay footage, specifically focusing on the mechanics of vampire hunting and maintaining the Masquerade.
In the Vampire: The Masquerade universe, vampires must conceal their true nature from humans. This is represented in the game by a Masquerade meter. Player actions that violate the Masquerade trigger escalating consequences, visually indicated by a color-coded eye icon:
- Green: Minor infraction; simply hiding will suffice.
- Yellow: Multiple violations, such as feeding or using aggressive powers, requiring the player to deal with witnesses or evade the police.
- Red: The Masquerade is shattered, the police are alerted, and escape is paramount. Continued violations will result in intervention from the Camarilla, as shown in the provided gameplay clip.
Players can mitigate their "infamy" by making witnesses forget their actions or, alternatively, eliminating them. When the police are involved, discretion is key – hiding until the situation cools down is the recommended approach.
The developers emphasize that the risk of exposure will steadily increase as the game progresses, demanding swift and calculated actions from players to uphold the Masquerade.
