It's that supposed to be the male version?

Imagine you get a masquerade violation if you misgender some vampire and you get special vampire bigot hunters after you and when they catch you, get lectured on undead struggles, vampire patriarchy, how vitae is racist and why that is a good thing....Jesus Christ.

Is this some kind of meme? I thought Phyre got turned into Michael Jackson.
Yeah, it's supposed to be an overly masculine face but it kinda falls flat.
The Chinese Room has been shitting out dumbed-down sequels to better games, with most of the original's gameplay mechanics cut or greatly simplified, since almost its very beginning. (well, to be fair, machine for pigs is the only sequel that had done up until this dumpsterphyre. their other games are just shit all on their own.)
Those of us with brains knew exactly what kind of crap they would be squeezing out as "VTMB2".
It did not matter that they (supposedly) fired some of the old codemonkeys and hired a bunch of new ones. Lazily slapped together walking simulators is all they can ever do. And now they/them are hyper-woke, too.
This isn't rape, it's mutilation.

Who is "they"? Not a single person who made the walking simulators even works at the company anymore. "The Chinese Room" is just a name.
And yet, how remarkably consistent they are. Take a beloved game, cut most of its gameplay features, reduce to glorified walking simulator, and crap it out as a "sequel". Am I talking about Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (you), or VTMB2?
Yes!
It's like the ship of Theseus paradox. All the parts have been replaced, but it's still the exact same garbage...

It doesn't look like a walking simulator, it looks like a low-budget Dishonored clone.
Dishonored had weapons, tools and (many) magic abilities.

"Low budget" is a very important modifier here.
So is "walking simulator" and "cut most of the original's gameplay mechanics".

The androgyny of this dumpsterphyre is above JRPG tier.

I don't think you understand what a walking simulator is. It's an interactive experience with no gameplay, just walking and interacting with objects.
So, exactly like VTMB2?

This is very clearly a stealth and brawling game.
