Paradox Interactive is using an alternate reality game (ARG) dating app to drop hints that something new is coming to the Vampire: The Masquerade series on 21st March, 2019.
Tender – a recently launched dating app that matches people via their blood type (thanks PC Gamer, GameInformer) – may look legit, but fans soon discovered that players with a Paradox account could, somewhat inexplicably, log in.
Codes hidden within some of the videos in the app, along with suspicious “leaked” memos from Tender CEO Malcolm Chandler (which just-so-happens to be the same name as the author of “Vampire Brides from Planet Hell”) all add to the intrigue, not least because the latest of Chandler’s memos uses a heap of vampiric terms. Furthermore, this clip from a recent Tender livestream shows Santa Monica Pier… which is also one of the key locations in Bloodlines, of course. Curiouser and curiouser.
