NightVein
A downloadable game
NightVein is a top-down action game in the hack-and-slash style, blending fast melee combat, ranged attacks, and a haunting narrative of love and vengeance.
You play as Ezekiel, once a proud warrior of the Angelic Order, now branded a traitor for breaking the one law he should never have broken — loving a human woman. When his secret is revealed, his beloved Eve is taken away and he is condemned to death by his own kind. But fate has other plans.

So, how's the programming going? Is there a new version to test?
No new Demo expected sorry :-( But we keep working on the final game :-)
Hi there, this is Chris from retrospiel.com. Your game is really good! Do you have a publisher for a physical release? If not we could work together on bringing this game to cartridge if you want. You can contact me via info@retrospiel.com
Thank you . But still a long road until the release the plan is next Halloween so i'll remember your offer.
Thanks a lot. If you want, we could present a demo version at gamescom 2026 :)
Please don't go physical only for the final product - so we can always buy a rom. Many gamers just want to pay for and play games on handhelds and are not all interested in physical collecting. Cartridge only releases are simply anti-gamer and I'm so tired of not being able to buy a digital copy, because of publishers policies. Just saying - please don't sell out your right to sell separately.
I totally undertand man. I also use a lot of handelds but to delivery the ROM i need to find a way to reduce piracy. I know don't have the game dump will be almost impossible but at least i wanna cover the costs before be pirated. Maybe i'll release some crowndfunding to have the ROM pre paid.
cool , and I appreciate the reply and understand the situation. I hope you find a way to achieve both. Best wishes and Merry Christmas 👍
How do you get the PC version full screen?
Because is not emulation, is a full native version.
I mean, how do I put the image in full screen? What key do I have to press? I can only run in windowed mode.
Oh sorry! Is suppose to be working but probably is some bug. I'll investigate thanks for the feedback.
Released 1.0.7 with fullscreen fixed man. Cheers!
What the f. ?? This game is amazing! Congrats for such a great experience ! Such a polished gameplay and audio and gfx! Everything is gold on this demo. When the full game comes out? Take my money !
Thanks for playing dude! I wanna do a crowdfunding to finish it and produce cartridges. We are a 2 guys team with full time jobs so we need some boost.
