About Vigil - Episode 1: Blood Bitterness
Players will be plunged into a dark and disturbing story to reveal the secrets of an ancient civilization's relics and exact revenge on the Evil destroying their universe. Ritualistic killings and blood lust blur the line between their own kind and the Evil they seek to annihilate.
Their ultimate goal is to free themselves from this tormenting place and understand the origin and the purpose of this uncanny Evil. An Evil that annihilates all in its path, it has no shape but seems to follow a precise scheme, drowning everything under a black essence; it is impossible to stop or even to slow down. Since its birth, the universe is slowly disappearing.
Avoid traps, solve puzzles and devour the faces of their slaves for sustenance.
