Once the player has joined the clan they have chosen (each has their own values, way of behaviour and specific, unique abilities), the protagonist is entrusted with the task of discovering the truth behind a recently found artifact, which foreshadows the approaching end of the vampire race.
The protagonist gets killed and resurrected afterwards, by one of the bloodsuckers. The player assumes the role of a nameless character - either male or female. The player is taken to an alternative version of the modern Los Angeles, where seven vampire clans fight for control over the area. In particular, the plot is based on the events from Vampire: The Masquerade.
Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines for PC is set in the World of Darkness, created by White Wolf Publishing. The developer is also popular for two well-received RPGs, namely Greyhawk: The Temple of Elemental Evil and Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura. VTM: Bloodlines was created by Troika Games - an American team established by co-creators of the legendary Fallout. It is the successor to 2000's Vampire The Masquerade: Redemption - a game developed by Nihilistic Software. Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines for PC is an action-RPG which tells a story of a vampire community.
