Code Vein is a third-person action game is an incredibly dark narrative that centers around a group of people with a thirst for blood called the Revenant living in a hidden society called Vein.  “Blessed” with gifts of power, these Revenants exchanged their memories of who and what they for strength, even if it means an unquenchable thirst for blood. This gritty story also shares the sinister tale of those Revenants who truly gave into the darkness that the blood brings causing them to become ghouls with nothing but the hunger called the Lost.
