NIGHTHAWKS

Vampires in the streets and vampires between the sheets

- By Ian Evenden

The demo for Nighthawks, called Night One, lasts about an hour. It’s time that passes quickly, and it’s well judged, so you’re left wanting more at the end. Nighthawks has been around for a while now following a Kickstarter campaign, so it’s good to see the actual game.

It might be worth noting that the writer of Nighthawks is Richard Cobbett, who used to write the Crapshoot column for PC Gamer’s website, and did some other stuff too, until he decided he’d suffered enough, and went into game development in order to relax. Nighthawks is his first original project, having contributed to Sunless Sea and The Long Journey Home, and is best described as a text adventure with art. There’s a lot of reading to do, though much of it is also voiced and you can also treat it as an audiobook with clicking.
