i like VTMB as a unique and interesting video game and in many ways its a well preserved relic of the early 2000s

but also much of WOD lore is not a joke, it's very real. much of what is said about cain, lilith, and the antedeluvians is straight up lifted from the book of enoch and kabbalah. its not even "references to the occult" it's basically feeding you raw, unfiltered origins of all that which is occult. i'm not going to give you a crash course on the line of cain and the nephilim right now. but this stuff is very real.
