About the Game

A town is being bled dry by a hidden cult, and every drop of blood fuels their dark magic. Tear through their ranks before they amass enough blood to usher in a new world order.

Kill Them All

Use each character's unique skill set to slash, stab, punch, and shoot your way through the cult's compounds. Use stealth tactics to get the jump on your enemies, or confront them head on, odds be damned. 

Play as:

  • Dominic, a man with the unique ability to eject blades from his wrists

  • Darius, a mage that picks up the blood of fallen foes and uses it to cast devastating magic

  • Demi, a woman who can shoot regenerating spines from her forearms

  • And many more!

Challenging Boss Encounters

See what blood magic is truly capable of! In these unique and varied boss scenarios, use the game's third-person movement mechanics to dodge volleys of projectiles, hide behind cover, and jump over waves of blood, all while trying to aim your own attacks.

A Thoughtful and Engaging Story

Follow the story of Dominic, a man with the unique power to eject blades from his wrists. After learning about missing people in his hometown, Dominic stumbles onto the underground plot that will change his life forever. 

Along his journey, Dominic teams up with outcasts of various flavors. What happens when they fight for the society that would scorn them?

A story about loneliness, responsibility, and what it really means to be your true self.
