Today Sunless Sea writer Richard Cobbett joined forces with developer Wadjet Eye (the same folks behind the recently-released adventure game Unavowed) to announce a brand-new “urban fantasy RPG” entitled Nighthawks. The kicker for this one is that like the underrated cult classic Vampire: The Masquerade series of games, you play as a vampire in a gothic setting.

Arriving on Kickstarter September 5th, details are slim pickings at the moment (apart from the official site), but from the first crop of screenshots, there appears to be an emphasis on branching dialogue options and resource management. And from the teaser below, the world’s recent revelation that vampires are real and exist amongst the human populace should serve for some interesting conflicts.
