Due to work and a press trip, I am still only half way through redecorating the kitchen. The walls are now a lovely shade of terracotta, but dust sheets cover the floor, there are no doors on the cabinets, and paint pots and stained brushes litter the room.

Vampire: The Masquerade finds new undead life in Oaths and Ashes, a visual novel RPG set in Berlin

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 might be what it is (a bit of a mess), but that doesn't mean the series is dead in the water. In fact, a whole new game is on the way! It's called Vampire: The Masquerade - Oaths and Ashes, and it is still technically an RPG, just one mixed up The Fly style with a visual novel.
