Six months ago, you died and were reborn. A vampire. A predator. Not a mere creature of the night, but one of its masters. At least, that鈥檚 how things were supposed to be...
Unfortunately, it's a new world out there. Vampires have finally been exposed, and although your existence is presently tolerated, your constant thirst for blood is not. You arrived in the one city willing to promise vampires a fresh start, only to find suspicion and paranoia waiting on its dark streets. But death could not hold you, and fear will not hold you back.
When the sun sets, outcasts rise.
It鈥檚 time to seize the night by its throat.
Enter a deliciously twisted new take on vampire role-playing games as you take over聽a failing nightclub on the wrong side of the tracks, and turn it into your personal empire through seduction, intimidation, and careful use of secret supernatural Gifts such as Mesmerism, Natural Dominion and Corpsetalking. Befriend and recruit fellow outcasts, digging deep into their stories and harnessing their skills. Explore a fully voiced, lavishly written world of dark shadows and bright neon, where your every decision could push the world towards a bold united future... or a whole new era of fear and paranoia.
In Nighthawks, death is what you make it. Climb from rags to riches as a modern vampire in a city filled with horror and humour, embracing your dark instincts or proving to the world that even the darkest nights can lead to a brighter tomorrow. A bit of both, perhaps? Race against the sunrise while exploring a city filled with stories and opportunities, and meeting a fully-voiced cast of over 80 characters looking to make a fresh start in the modern nights. Turn your nightclub into a haven of found family and new beginnings, or simply your personal hunting ground. Fight to resist your predator instincts, or stalk the city streets in search of fresh prey. Either way, prepare to claw a path from the gutter to the heights of power and influence, until the fate of humans and vampires alike sits within your grasp.
Over 800,000 words of lavishly written story set over two years of modern vampire life.
A full-voice cast with performances from actors including Amelia Tyler, Arielle Siegel, Elsie Lovelock, Frank Todaro, Jay Britton, Edwyn Tiong, Ivy Dupler and Mike Pollack.

Four endings ready to appeal to every side of your vampire nature
Multiple adorable rats, some of which you can pet
