The Cold War is over. The Bush War is being dismantled.

You fought these wars as a shadow soldier, trained to move through secret worlds.
So, you broke free, or you were shut out, or you burned out of the fight. You didn't appear out of nowhere. You entered with your own means into the most clandestine networks of power and crime in Europe. You completed a few quests, and asked even fewer questions. Who assigned you that mission in Prague? Who paid for your silence in that Swiss account? You convinced yourself that it didn't matter.
In the end, it turned out that it did matter. And a lot. Because you were working for vampires.
Vampires exist. But what can they do? Who do they have in their power? What places are safe? You still don't know the answers to these questions. You will have to track the operations of the bloodsuckers, infiltrate their networks, follow their leads and target their weak spots. Because if you don't hunt them, they will hunt you. And they will kill you.
Or worse.

Agents of the Night adapts the GUMSHOE game system for use within the spy thriller genre, combining the paranoia of movies like Ronin or The Bourne Identity with the supernatural terror of Bram Stoker. Research is crucial, but it will never slow down the action, which explodes with expanded options for intense combat, high-tech espionage, and adrenaline-pumping chases.

Updating classic gothic horrors for a post-modern era, Agents of the Night features modularly built monstrosities: Headmasters can create their own vampires, combine them with other minions, and create their own conspiracies to suit their personal style. The established rules will allow you to adapt the level of betrayal, conspiracy and action of your game. Work from the preset examples, or combine different vampire abilities, objectives, and tools for a fully customized bloodthirsty espionage saga.
The included Starter Adventure will kick off the story; the included city will show you what could be happening in Marseille even now. Reload your Glock with silver bullets, insert a UV light bulb into your flashlight, and look carefully in your mirrors… And pray that everything you know about vampires is true.
