The Orpheus Device, a free interactive audio story for voice-enabled devices, was released in October 2020. Wraith The Oblivion Afterlife, a VR game by Fast Travel Games, was released on April 22, 2021, for release on all major VR platforms. The book went on sale to the public in 2018. A Kickstarter for the game went live on December 2, 2014, and was fully funded within hours. The New WoD gameline Geist: The Sin-Eaters is a Spiritual Successor, delving into the NWoD's Underworld, with the PCs basically being half-human spirit mediums who have merged with mostly beneficial - if unbalanced - ghost partners.Ī 20th anniversary edition was announced at GenCon 2013. The game later received an After the End sequel in the form of Orpheus (which dealt with humans and ghosts who dealt with troublesome spirits and investigated the wreckage of the Shadowlands). However, its passing was not quite the ending it seemed, as the circumstances that shut down the setting tied directly into the backstory for both Demon: The Fallen and Mummy: The Resurrection, and to a lesser extent, Hunter: The Reckoning. note There were a couple pages dedicated to it in the MET's Laws of Judgement, but nothing like the other books.
Wraith was the first and only gameline in the Old World of Darkness to be cancelled before The End of the World as We Know It. The first edition focused more on the personal struggles than the actual setting it took the second edition to truly flesh out the Shadowlands. The concept required advanced troupe-style roleplay, with each player playing their own character, someone else's Shadow, and occasionally other characters for a group that wasn't experienced with this (i.e., players of nearly any other tabletop RPG), this placed a heavy burden on GMs/Storytellers. The characters were constantly at war with themselves (and sometimes each other) while trying to find their place in both life and death. Wraith was considered a tough concept to handle, even for the World of Darkness. It's called your Shadow, and it's constantly going to wheedle you, cajole you, taunt you, set you up, and make your life a living hell until you give it what it wants - that is, all control over you, making you a Spectre in full.
One of those soldiers is parked in your head. Seeking to drag all existence down its sinkhole, Oblivion sends its soldiers, the Spectres, out to make the world a much worse place. It goes From Bad to Worse, since also parking its tuchus in the Shadowlands is a grand malevolent force known as Oblivion.
