About the Game

BLOOD VIAL is a vampiric, retro-inspired FPS with a leaking health bar. Swim through the blood of your fallen enemies to keep your vial full.

The Holy Ones have gained control. Reach the sacred source of power draining you of your energy, and destroy it.

Features:

  • Dive through spilled blood to climb walls, swim through grates, and leap over gaps. Learn to harness your blood powers to their maximum potential.

  • Get messy with the shotgun, or execute with precision using the revolver. Unlock more weapons and experiment with your play style.

  • Seal sacred pacts to gain power between each level.

Blood Vial was inspired by Post Void, Splatoon and Ultrakill.
