The acclaimed studio behind RoboCop: Rogue City created this first-person, single-player action RPG set in the World of Darkness universe.

The game emphasizes player choices that shape the story through dialogue and mission decisions, potentially affecting relationships with allies and drawing law enforcement attention. Hunters stand between monsters and the innocent in this dangerous supernatural world.
