The short of it: don't bother unless you're into playing EVERY VtM game like I am. Just play Night Road and Parliament of Knives if you want good Masquerade stories by Choice of Games. This is by far their worst work yet.

Pros:
- A story outside of the US. Greece specifically is a cool choice with potential
- There's more deliberate options in shaping your character at the very beginning than usual (ironically with less purpose as your dialogue and reaction options throughout the story ignore any personality you may have created)
- The shortest in this series (only a pro because it's so bad)

Cons:
- Your character has no agency at all until the very end when everything magically revolves around you
- Chronic lack of build up to anything that happens, big or small
- Gravity of situations are not at all apparent, likely related to the point above
- Similarly due to the lack of build up, there are no likeable characters. We're not given any time to understand who these people are or why we should care about them
- All "moral quandaries" have the subtlety of a train
- Many basic editing mistakes and inconsistent wording of options
- These options are often nonsensical too. For instance, when I chose to hide, I assumed I'd use my 3 points in Obfuscate, not just crowd under a box with a mortal the game is forcing me to befriend
- When the options aren't nonsensical, they're usually meaningless; simply the same option reworded
- Thin-bloods and ghouls will simultaneously be hilariously strong and worthlessly weak when needed

The list goes one really. Once again I'd say go play Night Road and Parliament of Knives if you're interested in these games. Hopefully the next one will be more on par with them.
