''Project Twilight'' is a supplement for ''TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse'' set in the TabletopGame/OldWorldOfDarkness. It is a book detailing the various conspiracies that are in operation throughout the US government as well as other countries.
Project: Twilight is not the name for any official government agency or even unofficial agency but a nickname for the groups that have become enlightened to the existence of the supernatural. These include the National Security Agency, Special Affairs Division of the FBI, and Central Intelligence Agency. All of them are compromised by supernatural forces but have members slowly coming to realize just who is pulling their strings.
These agencies are all possessed of immense power and resources that could theoretically be turned against the supernatural in a way even the most powerful of them could not resist. The book would notably become a lot more relevant with ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade'' with the creation of the Second Inquisition.
----
!! This role-playing game provides examples of:
* BenevolentConspiracy: For the most part, the various groups are less malevolent than the monsters they fight.
* CorporateConspiracy: Pentex has sent Martin Fiske to infiltrate the SAD and maneuver it against the werewolves. Pentex also heavily influences the US government through its lobbyists and corrupt politicians.
* GovernmentAgencyOfFiction: The FBI Special Affairs does not exist in real life but exists as a autonomous agency with broadly the same powers.
* GovernmentConspiracy: Technically all of the Project: Twilight groups are this as they have to hide their activities from the rest of the government as well as the monsters controlling it.
