Vampire: The Masquerade – Redemption is a 2000 role-playing video game
developed by Nihilistic Software and released by Activision for Microsoft Windows and
Mac OS. Set in White Wolf Publishing's World of Darkness, the game is based on
White Wolf's role-playing game Vampire: The Masquerade and follows the
adventures of Christof Romuald, a 12th-century French crusader who is killed and
subsequently revived as a Vampire. The game depicts Christof's centuries-long
journey from the Dark Ages of 12th century Prague and Vienna to modern-day London and
New York City in search of his humanity and his kidnapped love, the nun Anezka. The game
is presented in the first- and third-person perspectives. The player controls Christof
and up to three allies through a linear structure, providing the player with missions to
progress through a set narrative. Certain actions committed by Christof throughout the
game can raise or lower his humanity, affecting which of the game's three
endings the player receives. The game includes multiplayer gameplay called
"Storyteller", which allows one player to create a narrative for a group
of players with the ability to modify the game dynamically in reaction to the
players' actions.
