In Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong, Galeb is tasked with tracking down Jason Moore, an accountant who manages a vast number of kindred businesses and financial affairs while the sun is up. As such, finding him and recovering any incriminating documents he might possess is highly important to the local prince, who has sent Galeb to ensure he is found.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong is a narrative RPG developed by Big Bad Wolf and published by Nacon. Set in the World of Darkness, Swansong thrusts players into the intriguing world of Boston's vampire society in the midst of massive upheaval. Galeb, Emem, and Leysha perform dangerous missions on behalf of Boston's prince to survive the night and uncover the truth behind the disastrous party that started this mess.
Investigating the Crime Scene
When Galeb arrives at Jason Moore's apartment, it is in the midst of a police search. Seemingly, Moore was decapitated in the lobby of his own home shortly after the disastrous party that kicked off the main plot. Observant players will note that he must have been at the party as it was one of his bodyguards who sent the code red. There are also signs of a ghoul in the area.
Investigating the ghoul's presence and heading upstairs to the hallway with all the bookshelves will result in players stumbling across a catalog from a home security company, indicating that Moore may have been doing some shopping.
Further exploration around the kitchen and dining area will reveal Lydia's Planner, which contains a cryptic message crucial to locating the secret room: "In case of emergency call: PURA VIDA."
This message initially seems to indicate that Lydia is the emergency contact, residing at their second home (which is called PURA VIDA) but it actually holds a second meaning.
Investigate June's room to discover a substitution cipher on her desk that she uses to communicate with her friend. Running PURA VIDA through the cipher (using a little guesswork and/or deduction to work out that ABC = 2) will reveal the code 78728432.
Jason Moore's Secret Panic Room
Finally, follow the drops of blood on the floor outside into Jason's bedroom and then into his bathroom, where he has a smart mirror. The phone app on the mirror allows Galeb to "call PURA VIDA" using the code 78728432, which opens the door to Jason Moore's secret panic room.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong is available for PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
