Announcing new price
Blood will be Spilled was released on May 29 2019 which means the game celebrated its 3rd anniversary recently. It was the first project of our very small studio, created with no prior experiences in game development. We learned an incredible amount of stuff on this game, both from our successes and our failures and despite its multiple shortcomings, we are quite proud of what we’ve achieved. The game won multiple awards and was praised for its visuals and narrative, which for us - graphic designers by trade, means a lot.
But it’s been three years and the game is reaching the end of its life cycle. Since we have a completely new team now (including programming), we are no longer able to provide support or fixes for the game. We are aware of the issues that still remain in the game, but from our knowledge, most of them can be solved by reloading a checkpoint or level, even though we understand it’s not ideal.
As of today, we are issuing a permanent price drop for the game on all platforms. We will also continue to offer discounts for the game, so if you wish to try it out, keep an eye out for those.
We thank everyone who played our game so far and to everyone who shared their feedback with us, it means a great deal to us.
If you are interested in what the future holds for us next, you can check out our new project.

Mac Version
It took us a while, but Blood will be Spilled is finally also available on Mac! Since none of us in the team is a Mac user, there is a very slight chance of some platform specific issues that we haven’t yet encountered. In case you would stumble upon any, just let us know at howdy@bloodwillbespilled.com and we’ll look into them right away.
We’ve won an award!
Last weekend, Central and Eastern European Game Awards were giving out awards to the best games in certain categories that came out in this region. Our game was nominated in 2 categories - Visual Art and Best Narrative. Even getting nominated along other great games was a huge deal for us (just a reminder, we’re a team of 3 people). So you can probably imagine how happy we were when we won the actual award in the Visual Art category!
Patch 1.2
Not so long ago, the game has been patched to 1.2 version. In case you missed it, the patch notes can be found here.
