The game is much more fast paced than those games, has more platforming elements, and is made to have a very high skill ceiling. The gameplay is based on Dante's Inferno with the nine circles of hell (Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Wrath, Heresy, Violence, Fraud, and Treachery). In which the game is divided into a prelude and 3 acts. Each layer in an act has a boss at the end of that layer. The main antagonist of the game is the Archangel Gabriel, which is the final boss of both Act 1 and 2. Though it is difficult to place an exact "bad guy" due to almost every character being bad in some way, including the main character.  The player controls a small war machine called V1, as they move down into hell, they collect more weapons and tools. The main gameplay mechanic is the collection of blood. Damaging enemies causes blood to be released, allowing the blood to be collected for health. Much of the game was made with a philosophy that puts the player experience first, with story and graphical improvements being implemented later on.  There are 5 weapons, 3 arms, and 3 alternate variants currently at V1's disposal.

Some technical details. V is also general-purpose, which means that it can be used for different purposes, to include creating different kinds of applications that can be cross-platform. V applications can be created to run on many different operating systems. The language also has various rules and features for greater program safety.  Users don't have to care about managing memory themselves, unless they want to, because V gives different options. Users can use a garbage-collector (GC), which is 1 of 4 other choices. Advanced users can choose to turn the GC off and manage memory themselves, using the other options from V. V works well with C. Functions in C can be called for use in V. It can translate C code into V. Code in V can also be compiled to human readable C, JavaScript, and other languages. Examples. Here is a hello world program in V. println("Hello world!") Here is an example of using a variable: a := 1 // value can not be changed mut b := 2 // value can be changed b = 3 Here is an example of using `if`, `else if` and `else` conditionals in V.  // Define entry point. fn main() {  a := 10  b := 20  if a &lt; b {  println("${a} &lt; ${b}")  } else if a &gt; b {  println("${a} &gt; ${b}")  } else {  println("${a} == ${b}")  // Output: 10 &lt; 20 Here are examples of how to use the for loop in V. // Define entry point. fn main() {  // Here is a condition `for` loop (also known as a `while` loop).  mut count := 0  for count &lt; 5 {  // some code  count++  println(count) // Prints numbers from 1 up to 5.  // Here is
