The Path of Veins

I have seen the face. Amongst the small white bones wrapped in fabric. Beneath the veins leading to the goddess. Within the black blood of the eucharist.

About the Game

The Path of Veins is a horror visual novel where the player navigates the narrative through choices. The narrative is conveyed to the player through text, sound, still images and video. The game features a fully scored, unique soundtrack for every scene and an evolving game ambience/soundscape. The currently playable version is approximately one-third of the intended final game and takes approximately 1-2 hours, depending on choices and play style. The game uses a manual save system. Because the focus is on narrative there are no "achievements" or other distractions. Interface during gameplay is kept to a bare minimum to enhance immersion.
