A game with a World of Darkness feel in it

[Teemto]

Hi! A huge retrogaming fan and a long time lurker of the site reports in. I was wondering if you could recommend an adventure or a roleplaying game with a similar atmosphre and/or setting with the World of Darkness tabletop roleplaying world (Vampire the Masquerade etc.). And, yes I am aware of the games Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines & Redemption. Thanks in advance.

I never played the table-top game but I did beat Bloodlines a few times so I get the gist of it. As for games that are like it... I really can't say, as video games set in the WoD world are rare. Other then VTM there are the Hunter Games (http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/world-of-darkness) (Note, link leads to Mobygames "World of Darkness" group, 3 hunter games are a part of it but I never played them.) But if you are willing to extend your reach to just Vampire/Werewolf games that have dark overtones then that's more to work with, say for example, Nocturne (http://www.mobygames.com/game/nocturne) and the Legacy Of Kain series (http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/legacy-of-kain-series), loved all of the LOK games. (Well not Soul Reaver ones as much as the others, but still.)

And if you just want dark horror and want your pants scared off of you i recommended Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth (http://www.mobygames.com/game/call-of-cthulhu-dark-corners-of-the-earth). Don't know if it was just me but the game is still one of the few that scared the living **** out of me :hypno:

This thread sort of reminds me of VTM: Redemption. I have the game but have never play it. Guess it is high time I play it :)

I just started playing the game yesterday. I am still very early in the game, and too soon to make a judgement right now, but right away I am bothered by the fact that I cannot played the game with WASD control :doh: Strange, it did not bother me that way when I play Dungeon Siege. Maybe it is something to do with the camera work on VTM: Redemption.

I always used the mouse to move around :) Should help with the camera controls as well :)

As for the main question it has already been stated, that WoD games are really scarce and a few good alternatives have been given, I'd add Noctropolis (http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/noctropolis), for it's gritty and dark atmosphere and Bloodnet (http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/201/BloodNet.html), because it's shear awesomeness. :D
