He is an erudite man, graduated in sociology and have a deep love for his family and his religion. He had the voice of the people, the influence and the fame that the Bahari Tremere Circle of Halfeld City wanted to spread the word of the Dark Mother.

In life, Emerald taught Biology to children and pre-teens in 3 public schools and MMA in a gym, at night. One night when she was returning home, she found the door broken and ran as fast as she could, just to find her mother dead and a monster bitting her sister's neck. It was all over so fast... One minute she landed a punch to the monster's jaw, on the next, she passed out. When she woke up, she was no longer the same.

Danube "Bee" - Clan Salubri: Danube is a brilliant young woman, but her fragile body faced a lot of struggle. From a very young age, she has been fascinated by technology. She was already prominent as an independent game developer and was well known in the developer communities. She had a bright future ahead of her. Everything changed when her father was suddenly arrested. She started to study Law to try to prove his innocense. After 5 months, she was diagnosed with Leukemia. She was going to die, and her dreams with her. One night, while she was crying in her bed, a man approached her. He touched her forehead and made a proposal: "Would you accept a cursed life for a second chance?" She was all in!
THE CITY AND IT'S POLITICS
Halfeld is a costal city, full of opportunities, both to Kindred or Kine. It has a modern/gothic vibe to it. The city had a Anarch Revolt back in 2008, were the former Prince was killed (so they say). The city was splited in 4 Turfs: Central Zone, North Zone, Docks Distric and the Sea Belt. Our story takes place on the Central, North and Docks Turfs and the characters are guided by Lua, the Baron of the Central Zone. The Barons in the city work as employers. They don't like to say that they own anything or are the leaders of anything. They are just employwer. If they got a job to do, they have a Coterie to contact and pass the Job. The payment. Boons. That's how the city has been working since the fall of the Tower.
THE PLOT
The Chronicle acompanies a Vehme Coterie, called Blood Tears, that had the job to investigate a series of killings that have being drawing too much attention of the Media and the Second Inquisition to the Anarch city. Their lack of success have costed 6 lifes and a lot of troubles with the hunters. Will they be able to find the killer and stop this madness before the sun rises? We shall see!

Greetings to the Developer
Just played the game just now and was very impressed by the characters and images in the narration scenes before it lead to the gameplay. Good story and this is coming from someone who hasn't heard much about the VTM since the '90s watching the "Kindred -the embraced" series on Fox which led me to start reading White Wolf Pubshising's Vampire the Masquerade books like before someone decided to throw them out and found this game quite interesting to remember some of the Series Lore and it was the first time I've heard about the Firstlight Agency which I'm guessing is a Hunter Organization with government or military backing
However, I found the ending of the game itself short, but it was also left open for adding more to the story later since I saw a ghost of a woman walking away at the end of the last boss fight.
Plus no aftermath for crossing into another Barron's land, or what happened with the FristLight discovering their identities was shown either.
Still, To The Guilty Death was a very enjoyable 2D RPG game to play.
