The Vampire - Alone in the Darkness (Remastered)

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Note about The Vampire: Alone in the Darkness: this listing was recently updated with a Remastered version of the game, including new cover, internal layout and artwork, revised text and reorganized tables, as well other tweaks. Some of the comments at the bottom of the page may refer to its original version.

The Vampire – Alone in the Darkness is a Role-Playing Game that lets players act as a powerful Vampire, a former human who died and got resurrected by a demon acting like an unholy puppeteer. In this existence afterlife, the Vampire fights to keep the balance between their human impulses and the demonic presence’s bloodlust. 

Different from other popular settings, Vampires weren’t interested in manipulating the great wheel of humanity. They stayed in the shadows and usually lived in isolation, not only from other humans but from other Vampires. However, since the popularity of their myth, from the writings of Bram Stoker to the adolescent fantasies of Twilight, they are at constant peril from researchers, hunters, and other supernatural entities. Some started to look for strength in numbers, joining the so-called Legions, communities of Vampires that are rapidly becoming more and more political… and dangerous.

3 ways to play:

Solo: the player creates one or more vampires and interacts with them in the created scenario, rolling dice (d10) against tables with pre-defined actions, slowly unfolding the story.

Co-Op Group: it works the same way as a Solo Game, without needing a narrator/DM role.

With a Narrator: like a traditional tabletop RPG, with a player in charge to select what happens, either by using the material in this book or by inserting new events.


The game mixes traditional RPG elements with a tabletop tile system. Each tile represents a setting like an urban area, industrial zone, or city outskirts, each one with multiple events that can be interweaved and branched out to generate 10,000 ramificationsThe book is a great toolbox that can make your story unfold in multiple, dynamic ways before you with the help of the following features and mechanics:

  • Detailed backstory explaining more of the world’s setting.
  • Suggestions and examples on how to run your adventures.
  • Complete set of rules, character creation, skills and stats, advantage and disadvantage, and much more.
  • Oracle system that helps you answer simple questions like Yes/No, Left/Right, Open/Close.
  • 6 Castes based on types of demons who reanimate corpses to turn them into vampires.
  • 12 skills and 10 Dark Powers that will make your Vampire incredibly powerful.
  • 5 different tiles, each one with its own table of events that extends to 20 different plot branches. including ruined cities, industrial areas, underground tunnels, isolated outskirts, and shorelines.
  • Auxiliary tables with extra events, violent encounters, weapons, armor, items and much more.
  • 2 backstory settings: New York and St. Augustine.

The game is amazing. If something can be clarified as a hidden gem it is it. There are literally ton of Solo games nova-days and majority of them are all about Action/theme oracle system which i am not a fan of, because it has giving you too much of a creative burden. This has a perfect action / time system that is creating also a great game mechanic for not only rpg players but tabletop players in general. Amazing!
5/5 and Badass seal from me.

Thank you for your feedback! If you liked The Vampire, we recommend that you take a look at our The Legacy of Cthulhu crowdfunding campaign since it uses the same system. :)

This poor man's Vampire: The Masquerade - pardon, Vampire: Alone in the Darkness is something amazing, really! Neat concept, neat system, the game works surprisingly well, even without a GM.
The only so-called flaw I could mention is its modern setting, for being an old fan of the original VtM, my absolute favourite setting would be the Dark Ages. I truly hope it will receive a Medieval module or supplement in the future.

Any update on the PoD?

So the book says there are 5 castes, but then later on, there are 6. The initial Caste breakdown does not mention the Baital. Is that intentional, or an omission that needs correcting?

Ok, I was able to enlarge the images in the product listing (not the quick preview) so I could read them. Like what I saw, so I went and grabbed a copy.

Will there be a PoD option down the road (or an actual print run)?

on a side note: Does Heritage of Cthulhu use the same system? Will that be getting released in the near future?

Sadly, the quick preview is way too small for some of us to read. Would you please consider making the larger preview available?

Great game.
The system is light, and have all you need to enter the game.
The mechanics consists in d10 against a "dificulty class".
A Solo mode are avaliable, with tables and dice roll for the player with a reaction for the enemies.
For those who love vampires in pop culture this cenario is very familiar, but the Vampire in it are humans who was "possessed" with a ancient spirit that gave them powers and unique characteristics.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
