Flyos and Kwalee are looking to expand the lineup of games set in the World of Darkness, and this time they are doing it with a narrative-driven CRPG.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Eternal Whispers is a story-focused CRPG set in the World of Darkness. Awaken from decades of torpor in a dark-modern Montréal consumed by political intrigue, buried secrets, and personal horror. Montréal has changed. The Sabbat is gone. New powers rule from the shadows. Old loyalties have crumbled beneath neon lights, abandoned cathedrals, and the ruins of forgotten faiths. We control Gabe, a vampire awakening from a coma that lasted decades, with fractured memories and a past buried deeper than the dead. Guided by Sam, a reluctant Thin-Blood, what begins as the pursuit of a rogue ghoul spirals into a dangerous conspiracy tied to the Temple of Eternal Whispers, a vast underground cathedral built in devotion to a forbidden faith. Our return was no accident.

As we investigate the mystery surrounding our forgotten past, we uncover disturbing truths about the Sabbat. Our release sets forgotten forces in motion, while something ancient still lies beneath the city, a secret capable of reshaping Montréal’s undead society forever. The deeper we delve into our connection to the Temple of Eternal Whispers, the more the darkness within us is revealed. Do we embrace the monstrous legacy of our Sabbat origins, or fight to preserve the last remnants of our humanity?

Vampire: The Masquerade – Eternal Whispers is a rich, story-focused CRPG built entirely around plot, characters, and player decisions. Set in a dark contemporary world driven by political intrigue, moral ambiguity, and immersive investigations, Eternal Whispers places role-playing and the consequences of choice at the center of the experience. There are no traditional combat encounters. Players remain free to choose violent, manipulative, or ruthless approaches through the decisions and paths offered throughout the game. Every conversation, alliance, betrayal, or violent act shapes the path we follow through the story. Our choices shape relationships, uncover hidden truths, and influence how the world reacts to us, opening or closing opportunities along the way.

The game’s demanding, uncompromising narrative is built on a fail-forward principle. Failed negotiations, broken promises, missed clues, and reckless decisions do not stop progress, but transform the narrative, opening new consequences, tensions, and paths through the story. Every success has a cost, and every failure leaves a mark. Discover the fragmented truths of your past through exploration, dialogue, eavesdropping, and environmental storytelling, while piecing together scattered clues hidden in Montréal’s underworld. Navigate deception, manipulation, and unreliable memories in a city where every conversation hides another secret, and every discovery carries consequences. Not every mystery has a clear answer. Not every truth needs to be uncovered.

Immortality has a price. Fight to preserve your humanity while facing trauma, obsession, hunger, and the brutal politics of vampire society. Begin your journey by fully customizing your character’s appearance and attributes, then shape your fate through your decisions: whether you choose the ruthless path of the Sabbat or fight to preserve what remains of your humanity.

Born from the critical and commercial success of Vampire: The Masquerade – Chapters, Eternal Whispers builds on an established narrative and artistic foundation while expanding the World of Darkness into a rich narrative CRPG experience. Its gothic visual identity draws inspiration from dark illustration, concept art, and gothic architecture, blending contemporary urban decay with surreal underground sanctuaries hidden beneath Montréal. Developed by a mixed team experienced in both tabletop and video games, Eternal Whispers combines role-playing depth with handcrafted narrative design to create a coherent and uncompromising vampire experience.

“I’ve been playing Vampire: The Masquerade tabletop RPG for more than 25 years. This world, its themes, and the stories it creates have stayed with me for most of my life. That passion eventually pushed me to create Vampire: The Masquerade – Chapters, a narrative board game adaptation of the series, and later became the driving force behind Vampire: The Masquerade – Eternal Whispers. With Eternal Whispers, our goal is to create a mature and atmospheric CRPG that sits at the intersection of classic role-playing games and modern narrative experiences such as Disco Elysium. We want to create a game where personal horror, exploration, and meaningful choices are just as important as atmosphere and storytelling” – wrote Gary Paitre, Flyos co-founder and creative director, in the press release.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Eternal Whispers is in development for PC, but we do not yet know when it will be released.
