The Vampire - Alone in the Darkness
The Vampire ‐ Alone in the Darkness is a Role-Playing Game that lets players act as a powerful Vampire¸ a former human who died and got resurrected by a demon acting like an unholy puppeteer. In this existence afterlife¸ the Vampire fights to keep the balance between their human impulses and the demonic presence's bloodlust. This isn't your dad's Vampire! Different from other popular settings¸ Vampires weren't interested in manipulating the great wheel of humanity. They stayed in the shadows and usually lived in isolation¸ not only from other humans but from other Vampires. However¸ since the popularity of their myth¸ from the writings of Bram Stoker to the adolescent fantasies of Twilight¸ they are at constant peril from researchers¸ hunters¸ and other supernatural entities. Some started to look for strength in numbers¸ joining the so-called Legions¸ communities of Vampires that are rapidly becoming more and more political... and dangerous.
