Project Hemorrhage

A vampire-themed 3rd-person Action-RPG game with a focus on combat

Heaven has fallen.

Vampires rule the world.

And yet, something fights back. The will of the old gods remains unrelenting.

You must ascend the wall, slaughtering numerous foes, all in an attempt to stop the reemergence of the light. Blood spills with every step, trailing behind you in your wake.

Will you push them back, or allow the light to banish you from this world for eternity...

For the eternal dark.
