From BoardGameGeek

Shadows Deep is a cooperative strategy board game for 1-4 players, where each player assumes the role of a Vampire striving to defeat the Hunters, manipulate the Citizens, and seize control of the city. Outwit your archenemies-human and werewolf Hunters-in rounds that feature deck building, combat, feeding, and thematic, emergent gameplay. Strike down your foes and claim the city with your sinister influence. Set in a 18th century Victorian city, you and up to three other players take the form of Vampires, feeding on unwary citizens, raising Ghouls and enthralling Servants as you engage in a deadly game of cat and mouse with a cast of tenacious Hunters, each with their own unique hunting strategy. The Vampires will need to work together to maintain control over the city and prevent the Hunters from nurturing enough Faith that the population turns against its Vampire lords. That said, this ruckus presents a rare opportunity to seize control from the other Vampires. Invest in Vampiric powers of varying value and strength, balancing your efforts to repel the hunters with your own pursuit of power. Carry out forbidden Quests to enhance your own power and exploit the positions and vulnerabilities of other Vampires to gain an edge. Build your deck to shape your abilities, command your Servants and complete macabre Quests to claim your position as the dominant Vampire of the city. -description from designer
