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.
NightVein is being developed for classic hardware and modern platforms. The public demo is currently available for Sega Genesis/Mega Drive and Windows.
The modern version is built in C/C++ using SDL3, with a portable codebase designed to support additional platforms.
Retro Hammer is an independent game studio focused on creating original games inspired by the 16-bit era, combining authentic retro design with modern development practices.
