Winter Patch

Stats screen: Clarified that you cannot roll back progress from the end of chapter 10.
Chapter 3: Removed Lasombra reflection from the early chapter.
Chapter 10: Reminded readers at the beginning of the chapter that rolling back to chapter 9 is the last opportunity to roll back.
Chapter 10: Added a second hidden gun to Corliss's arsenal which will account for her still being able to shoot if you disarm her, then stab her, but then choose to spare her. Also removed references to her shooting 'again' since in some scenarios it would be her first time shooting.

Master the stygian Abyss with new options and abilities. Discover the secrets of Primogen Ophelia and the powerful Magister diplomat Michalis Basaras.

Clan Malkavian: A Hallucinatory Accomplice It has been said that a Malkavian is never truly alonetheir visions and prophesy are a constant companionbut in your case, the concept of solitude has lost all meaning. An accomplice stalks your footsteps, often out of sight but never far away. It clouds your mind with madness and insight, but not always in equal parts.

As a vampire of clan Malkavian, an eternal companion accompanies you. None but you can see it or hear its words of wisdom and delusion.
The spectral companion is yours to interpret as you see fitname, gender, appearance, and demeanor.
Others too are afflicted by Malkav's gifts. Your sire Eden Corliss and her childe Lucca are each changed in unique ways, with new twists waiting to be discovered.

Clan Lasombra: A Keeper of Shadows Clan Lasombra has ruled from the shadows for centuries, their savage packs of Sabbat at constant odds with the Camarilla and their Masquerade. Until recent nights, that is. The constant threat of the Second Inquisition has driven the disparate clans together, but old grudges are not easily forgiven.

Control the otherworldly forces of Oblivion as a vampire of clan Lasombra.
Hide in plain sight or emerge from the shadows. Many in the Council believe that you and your sire belong to clan Ventrue. A necessary deception. But now that the Lasombra are integrating with the Camarilla, is it time to reveal your true nature at last?

Fixed "Coming Soon" issue

A few early buyers may have seen an incorrect "Coming Soon" message at the start of the game. (Don't worry! You bought the full game! You can still play through the entire game if you ignore the message.) If you update to the latest version, that message will be gone.

Dominate undead politics through cunning and violence! Will a missing Prince give you the opening you need to seize power and take control of the city?

Vampire: The Masquerade — Parliament of Knives is an interactive horror novel by Jeffrey Dean, based on Vampire: The Masquerade and set in the World of Darkness shared story universe. Your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

The undead Prince of Canada's capital city has disappeared, and his second-in-command, Eden Corliss, wants you to find out why. You’ve been loyal to Corliss since she Embraced you and made you a vampire, but this could be your chance to take her place. Will you defend your sire from the accusations flying, or join forces with her rivals to bring her down?

Ottawa’s court of immortals is tight-knit and merciless, with tensions between clans that go back centuries. The Prince has been missing for four days, and old alliances are starting to crumble. How will you leverage the political chaos to your advantage? The authorities are already on high alert against a new group of Anarchs in the city, who have been breaching the Masquerade by revealing their true nature. You’ll have to gather evidence to demonstrate which suspects deserve punishment, and you can’t afford to guess wrong. One careless word could get you stabbed in the back—staked through the heart, and left to burn in the sun.

Who will you save when the knives are out?

Attack the Anarchs in the city, or help them take over.
Uncover the lies at the heart of Ottawa’s immortal court.
