Ven: Doesn't your Mascherine narrow your field of vision? Like horse blinders or whatever?
Tiziana: Of course. That is why I have trained myself to razor sharpness. My battle senses are so keen, I can fight—and win—blindfolded.
Ven: ...You must be great at parties.
Vasco: Going to meetings, writing stuff down, you love that nerd stuff.
Cicero: Writing things down is nerdy? What do you do?
Vasco: I just forget stuff like a cool person.
Cicero: Must you always attack me with words?
Tiziana: Would you rather I used my sword?
Amadea: Alright, gang, if we're to have any hope of subduing Lucia, we need to use the most powerful weapon of them all...
Vasco: *crossing his fingers* Please be flying squirrels, please be flying squirrels...
Amadea: ...Our brains.
Vasco: Awwwwww!
Do you know how long someone who is as sarcastic as I am would last in exile? Suuuuuuch a long time.
Cicero, before being exiled
Vasco: Smiling is also what I do when I’m not listening.
Amadea: But you smile all the time, Vasco!
Vasco: What?
Cicero: How do we summon you, Ven?
Ven: Well... we have a goddamn open floor plan, so just stand anywhere and yell.
Cicero: I mean, is there like a magic word, or, like, a whistle, or a bell somewhere...?
Ven: Yes, I-uh, a witch kissed me and cursed me so that any time anybody yells a secret word I have to attend to their every need.
Ven: And that word is my fucking name, Ven.
Kalden: Uhm, when you said you were "magical in bed," this isn't really what I expec-
Cicero: (holding up 8 of hearts) Is this your card?
Kalden:
Kalden: (softly) holy shit
Masquerada: Songs and Shadows is out for PS4 release TODAY!!!
If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll already have heard me talk about this game: how well-written and surprising it is, the diverse cast of characters, the warm feeling of the art. Hell, I drove up to Boston in March on my own dime just so I could tell people about this game at PAX East for three days straight. Not to mention my meme blog.
This linear RPG, in a setting that resembles Renaissance Venice but with magic, starts as a missing-persons case led by Cicero Gavar, a detective recently returned from political exile. But before long, Cicero and the friends he makes along the way find themselves uncovering the darker secrets at the heart of their world and choosing to take a stand to protect the city they live in. I can’t go into more detail than that without giving the entire plot away– and trust me, you don’t want me to– but basically, this game is baller.
And the representation is also excellent! Most of the main cast are people of color; there are numerous important characters with physical and mental disabilities; there are LGBT characters whose stories are powerfully told. Plenty of amazing lady characters as well, both protagonists and antagonists, fighters and non-fighters. And it never feels like the creators are trying to fill a token quota – all of these characters are simply people.
Also Matt Mercer and Jennifer Hale, among many others, are in the voice cast. Yes, this game is fully voice acted, and that adds a whole fresh dimension to the game.
You can get this on PS4 and on Steam RIGHT NOW. What are you waiting for? GO PLAY MASQUERADA AND HAVE ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE.
IF YOU WERE WONDERING WHY THIS BLOG HAS REAWAKENED
At the risk of bragging, one of the things I’m best at is riding coattails. Behind every successful man is me, smiling and taking partial credit.

Kalden: What I did before, nobody got hurt.
Amadea: I never hurt anybody, either.
Vasco: ...I actually hurt people, so.
Cicero: The twins made a whole boatload of masks— one for every occasion and mood. Go on, don't be shy. Try one on!
Tiziana: I told you, I'm not shy!
Cicero: This one is patterned like a butterfly, for when you're feeling extra jolly. And this one has little hearts all over it. It's more for when you feel happy.
Tiziana: That's the same thing.
Cicero: Oh, there's a difference. These masks show even subtle changes in emotion! This is just the first batch, of course, so there are some moods you can't do. Rampant Greed isn't quite finished yet. And Morose is still in the design phase... But think of the fun you'll have with all of these right here! ...So, anyway, go ahead and pick one.
Tiziana: ......
Cicero: I'm waaaaaiting! ♪
Tiziana: I cannot!
Cicero: H-hey! Don't run away! You forgot your masks! Alena spent forever on theeeeeeeese!
Cicero: Wow, your handshake is quite firm.
Tiziana: I took a seminar.
Cicero: Where?!
Bartender: (to Varl) Um, I think your friend is drunk.
Cicero: I HAVE NO FRIENDS NOR DRINKS!
Cicero: But yes, I am drunk. And we are friends.
Vasco: Am I made of atoms?
Amadea: ...Yes. Everything is.
Vasco: Are shadows?
Amadea: ...
Vasco: Are dreams?
It’s like taking a shot of tequila: you just gotta force it down, and suddenly the world feels much more pleasant. I do three shots every time I have to enter this office.
Cicero to Avestus
Vasco: All right, the thing with women is that you've got to convince them that you're strong. That you're an alpha.
Amadea (to Tiziana): Whoops! Another skull fell out of my tunic! I've killed so many enemies, it's getting silly!
