Kwalee, a UK publisher, and Flyos, an independent developer, are excited to announce their new game, Vampire: The Masquerade – Eternal Whispers. This story-focused RPG is set in the dark and dangerous city of Montreal, where players will uncover political conspiracies, long-hidden secrets, and face personal terrors within the World of Darkness universe.

Players begin a journey after a long period of dormancy, uncovering their history while maneuvering through the dangerous world of vampire politics. The game emphasizes impactful choices and immersive roleplaying, where every decision – even unsuccessful ones – has significant and lasting effects.

Gary Paitre, Co-Founder and Creative Director at Flyos, has been a fan of the Vampire: The Masquerade tabletop role-playing game for over 25 years. He says the game’s rich setting and compelling stories have deeply resonated with him throughout his life, inspiring him to create both the narrative board game, Vampire: The Masquerade – Chapters, and later, Vampire: The Masquerade – Eternal Whispers.

Eternal Whispers is a role-playing game we’re creating that aims to blend the best of classic RPGs with the immersive storytelling of games like Disco Elysium. We’re focusing on a mature, atmospheric experience where your choices matter, and where exploring a haunting world and confronting personal horrors are key to the story.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Eternal Whispers is coming to PC.

About the game

Montreal has changed.

Okay, so the Sabbat’s finished – totally wiped out. But things aren’t exactly better. Now it’s all these new, shadowy groups calling the shots. It’s weird, because everyone’s switched sides, old alliances are broken, and you see it everywhere – in the glowing city streets, the crumbling churches, even in the places people used to worship. It’s like everything’s been left to rot.

Gabe is a vampire who’s just woken up after a long sleep, but he’s forgotten much of his past. With help from Sam, a hesitant and less powerful vampire, Gabe starts investigating a dangerous ghoul, only to uncover a larger, more sinister plot connected to the Temple of Eternal Whispers – a massive, hidden cathedral dedicated to a secret and forbidden religion.

Your return was no accident.

I’m really getting pulled into this mystery about who I used to be, and it’s leading me to some seriously unsettling things about the Sabbat. It feels like by figuring things out, I’ve woken up powers that were better left alone. And there’s this… presence, something old and powerful hidden under Montreal, and it could completely change everything for the city’s vampires. The more I learn about my connection to the Temple of Eternal Whispers, the more I realize how much darkness is inside me. I’m starting to wonder if I’ll give in to the monster I come from, or if I can still hold onto what makes me human.

A Narrative-Driven CRPG

Eternal Whispers is a roleplaying game set in a gritty, modern world full of political secrets and difficult choices. Instead of battles, the game focuses on how your decisions impact the story, letting you be violent, cunning, or even cruel if you choose. It’s all about the consequences of your actions as you investigate and navigate a morally gray landscape.

Every decision you make – in conversations, through friendships, or even when facing conflict – impacts the story’s direction. Your choices affect your relationships, reveal secrets, and change how people respond to you, ultimately creating or blocking new possibilities.

Fail-Forward Storytelling

Its demanding, uncompromising narrative is built on fail-forward design.

Failures in talks, unkept promises, overlooked hints, and poor choices don’t halt a story’s progress – they change it, creating unexpected outcomes, conflicts, and new directions.

Every success has a cost and every failure leaves a scar.

Investigate the Shadows

Explore the hidden side of Montreal and uncover pieces of a forgotten past. By investigating your surroundings, talking to people, and listening in on conversations, you’ll find clues that reveal a larger story. But be warned: this city is full of secrets, and you’ll need to navigate lies and question your own memories as every choice has an impact.

Not every mystery has a clear answer. Not every truth should be uncovered.

Build your kindred, shape your fate…

Immortality comes at a cost.

Navigate a world of darkness where you must hold onto your humanity while battling inner demons, intense cravings, and the cutthroat power struggles of vampire life. Create a unique character and determine their fate by choosing to either succumb to the savage ways of the Sabbat or strive to maintain your compassion and morality.

A Distinct Vision of the World of Darkness

Building on the success of Vampire: The Masquerade – Chapters, Eternal Whispers takes the established story and art style and transforms it into a deep, story-driven computer role-playing game within the World of Darkness.

The game’s dark and striking visual style takes cues from gothic illustrations, concept art, and architecture. It combines the gritty feel of modern city ruins with the mysterious atmosphere of hidden, dreamlike spaces beneath Montreal.

Eternal Whispers offers a deep and immersive vampire experience, blending the strategic depth of board games with the storytelling of video games. It was created by a team with expertise in both worlds, resulting in a uniquely cohesive and compelling game.
