Perhaps the worst thing about this mission is that you know you have to go towards the girl who may or may not wish you harm. And then things start to hurt you when you get close to the haunted object. There was just enough information to build a feeling of something going badly wrong. Perhaps it was the careful scripting and the sound design of this quest that created such a tense and awful atmosphere of dread. There are a lot of abused girls around here, in night time Santa Monica. She was a young girl who was abused by her father. A child's drawing of her family portrays her father as a terrifying man in rage. The hotel's memories had tried so hard to tell me: a diary mentions an abusive relationship where the father was violent and jealous. The ghost was released from its servitude to the hotel.

And to see Jeanette again, I had to have something to show.Īt the climax of the ordeal the hotel lit itself on fire, and as soon as I walked through the fire and the collapsing house to retrieve the jewellery Therese wanted, the fire disappeared. And I could do nothing but pursue this little girl ghost who cries, and the longer I followed her through the burnt out wreckage of the hotel, the more violently the building attacked me, the more afraid I got, the more I felt like I had to just check out and never come back.īut I wanted to see Jeanette again. Pots and pans in the kitchen threw themselves at me.

In the beginning I thought I was just hearing things. I've never felt so alone and afraid in a building, a building that wanted to kill me.

And also I just really like the club she owns and The Asylum seems like a cool hangout.īut the Ocean House Hotel was haunted by a lost girl, a little thing who tried to guide me through the ordeal. I wanted to get on Therese's good side - she seems like a powerful businesswoman in this town. I went to the Ocean House Hotel, like Therese, Jeanette's prim sister, asked me to, to rid it of evil spirits. I just had the worst experience of my preternatural life. It continues to rain, as if it will rain for eternity. You can read the first part here.Īll of this is huge spoilers so it's only your OWN fault if you read any of this and then ruin your whole life because you spoilered this wonderful game and then you will never like anything again and love will seem hollow. This is the second part of my Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines Diary.
