A downloadable game for Windows

Lost Archon is a retro-inspired action RPG set in the sinister world of Vampire: The Masquerade. Create an Archon - a powerful vampire agent - and unravel a mystery that threatens to tear apart New York City's vampiric society.

Explore the city's vampiric underworld as you investigate the mysterious disappearance of a fellow Archon. Prowl the dim streets and shadowy back alleys using guile, charm, stealth, or violence. Navigate the different factions, competing interests, and political machinations of New York City's vampiric society in the wake of a bloody war. In these uncertain nights, knowing who to trust can be the difference between unlife and Final Death...

well, I couldn't make it. It seems like everyone deals just too much damage. I invested into stealth and the undead were very difficult to beat. I don't feel like a powerful Anchor. I feel like a neonate. And that's the start of the game. Enimies phasyng though me on attack is annoying. And having just 2 rolls is crippling. I like the vibe and idea. I think it needs a little bit of balancing.

Thanks for the feedback! We're working on an update to increase the charges on dash and to decrease enemy damage. I hope you'll try the demo again after these changes go live!

Could you please tell me what are the control buttons?

Hi! You use the WASD keys to move your character, and the mouse to move the crosshair. The rest of the controls are explained during the tutorial sections. Thanks for playing!
