Taste of Blood

Taste of Blood is a simple Batch game in development by Seven Squared, Kurahk Studios ' game development subsidary.
==History==
Taste of Blood began development in 2012, around the fall/winter. It is currently on version Alpha 0.9.1.
==Gameplay==
Gameplay consists of making a character, buying items, discovering easter eggs, earning achievements, completing boss areas, upgrading weapons and armor, and leveling him/her up through fighting enemies. The game has no graphics, as it is a Bacth game, so the players must rely on their imaginations. Seven Squared has expressed its desire to make a non-Batch version of the game, but no such plans have been announced yet.
==Story==
Taste of Blood's storyline goes hand in hand with Kurahk Studios's upcoming Minecraft animation series Corruption. The current story goes, as quoted directly from the game:
"Sometimes, I like to stop fighting the Corruption and remenince on how this all started...
The year was 2109. We had just started a trade route with Namine, homeworld of the Waspcaela. 'Things went well up until about February 15, 2110. 'What happened on that date, you might ask? Hell was arisen to Namine, and the galaxy.
Well, not literal hell. The Waspcaela were expirmenting with their planet's core, and built a device to harness power from it. 'This device, this pylon, originally had good intentions: 
Make Namine a self-sustaining planet that could power itself for millenia to come. 'Unfortunately, that was not the case. The pylon instead had sparked an invasion.
This was no regular invasion with regular species. They had awoken the Corruption: a previously unknown force whose only known purpose is to indoctrinate all life into its hiveminded grasp. 'The Corruption invaded, falling from the sky, taking out armies, damaging the landscape, cities, killing thousands, and infecting even more.
The infected became a part of the Corruption, simply joining their onslaught.
To this day, no-one knows how the pylon drew them to Namine; only that it did. 'The only lesson the survivors can take from this with their broken planet and dead loved ones is this:
Never, NEVER try to harness the power of the core of your planet.
Not that the lesson would matter now anyways, but I digress...
I was a part of Terran Trade Comission freighter #644365. We were intercepted by Corruption Emergence Vessels decending to Namine. 'We tried to escape at that point, but one of them collided with our hull and caused a breach, ejecting its Corruption passengers into our ship.
Fighting them was all but futile. 
I stormed my way to the control room and set us for a crash course with Namine, hoping it would kill the Corruption.
With the collision course set, a few other survivors and I made our way to the escape pods.
When we made it, they were waiting for us.
I was lucky enough to fend them off and escape the ship. 'My comrades' fate remains unknown, but I presume them to be dead.
I landed outside of Thutria, now barricaded and somewhat fortified by its Waspcaela inhabitants. 'After a brief squabble, they let me join them in their stronghold.
And here I wait, in this broken city-stronghold, plotting my escape from this shattered world and its inhabitants...'"
