Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York reviews

While all the images, the music and the writing are great, the story line is disappointing. How matter what you do, there is only 1 ending. OK there is a bad end, at the start, but it easy to avoid.

I really wish I could recommend this, the dialogue writing is good. Music and art style sells the ambience perfectly, something I never thought would be possible in a Visual Novel type game. Characters are charming and suits the universe but despite every positive the main story drops the ball hard.
The game needs multiple playthroughs, not because there are different choices to make but rather "side contents" are gated off with a time limit for the main plot. Each of the 3 playable characters get a unique start to the story but after that you clan choice has very little impact on the story. Worst of all, the main story is too short and ends just when you think the story is starting to get interesting.
