NightVein
About this entry
NightVein is an independent homebrew game developed by Retro Hammer Studio (led by Wesley Marques) for the Sega Genesis and PC. It is a top-down, gothic hack-and-slash action game featuring the character Ezekiel. While often discussed in retro communities, it is an original indie title rather than a fan game based on an existing IP. A demo is available on itch.io.
