- Looking for Playtesters for Roguelike Mode! - 23 February 2026
Hey,Back in August of 2024, we launched Bloodless as a very small team from Brazil. It had been a long journey to reach that point but it was rewarding seeing all the positive reviews from folks. However, since then we’ve constantly heard one crucial bit of feedback that we’ve taken to heart. "What if I just wanna beat the shit out of enemies...can you help us do just that?"So we've spent the last 6 months building exactly that - a rogue-like mode where Tomoe's journey never ends.**What we're adding:** Main CampaignNow called in game as "The Ronin of Bakugawa" on mode selectionAction-adventure featuring counter-based, non-lethal combat.Released on August 2024, inspired by Sekiro and top-down Zelda gamesTomoe has sworn not to take another life, and must instead just disarm her enemies.

- Bloodless is available NOW! - 29 August 2024
Hey everyone! We're really excited to finally launch Bloodless! It's wild to think that Bloodless started 5 years ago! Back then, we were just a bunch of youngsters here in the sunny Brazilian city of Recife getting together for a weekend to make a small game, have some good laughs, and share some drinks. After iterating a lot on incorporating feedback we got from showcasing the game in festivals, the project evolved into something more suitable to the international indie market. We had built upon our references of Sekiro and Zelda, as well as other indies like Hollow Knight, to make something truly our own. Bloodless is a mix of everything we love about video games, storytelling, and art that we hope will bring as much joy to those who play it as it brought to those who made it. Bloodless is available now and we’re super proud of how a small game jam project evolved into such a unique…

- Bloodless Dev Diary #5 - Looking Back Before Launch - 9 August 2024
Hey everyone! We're very close to the release of Bloodless on August 29th. As we approach the launch of our first game as a studio at Point N Sheep, we think it's a great time to look back on the development journey that brought us here! Origins Eep! It's wild to think that this project started 5 years ago! Back then, we were just a bunch of youngsters here in the sunny Brazilian city of Recife getting together for a weekend to make a small game, have some good laughs, and share some drinks. You can still play the original Bloodless 2019 version on its itch.io page! :) Over the course of that weekend, the first version of Bloodless was born. In it, you played as a samurai with no sword, parrying your way into the Shogun’s castle to show them that you don’t need violence to get your message across… Or something like that. The narrative was simple, but the gameplay was really fun and peop…
- Tomoe is back in the free demo for Sekiro-like indie Bloodless - 9 July 2024
That was…slightly cheeky of me. The Tomoe you play in parry-ful action adventure Bloodless is not the same Tomoe that was conspicuously absent from undeniable influence Sekiro . They might be based on the same historical figure , but that’s simply Sek-ulation. However! You can make your mind up yourself for zero money, since Bloodless has a free demo on Steam. Trazzer below.

- Bloodless Dev Diary #4 - Sacred City of Bakugawa - 23 May 2024
Hello everyone, this is Danilo Freire, Bloodless director. Today I’d like to talk a little bit about the latest Bloodless content we’re working on. If you missed the previous diaries, check them out on the Bloodless Steam page! Bloodless Dev Diary #1 - Intro Bloodless Dev Diary #2 - Story Bloodless Dev Diary #3 - Foes and Locations Bakugawa, the nation where Bloodless takes place, is an island surrounded by coral reefs, optimal for fishing and defending from external attacks. Its economy is based on fishing and agricultural activities, and it’s divided into 4 urban districts: Old City, Fishing Village, Shadow District, and Sacred City; where Shogun Akechi resides and our focus for today. Masaru Akechi is Bakugawa’s shogun, the one responsible for raising Tokichiro - and Bakugawa as a whole - in violence. Facing him and his violent regime becomes Tomoe’s goal. Akechi became shogun after…
- Bloodless Dev Diary #3 - Foes and Locations - 3 April 2024
Heyo, Danilo here, Bloodless’s director, and today I’d like to talk a little bit about Bloodless’ influences and the latest content we’re working on. If you missed the previous diaries, check them out on the Bloodless steam page! Bloodless Dev Diary #1 - Intro Bloodless Dev Diary #2 - Story Bloodless’ protagonist, Tomoe, is a Ronin. She was a Samurai who fought in a civil war to repel a foreign occupation in her lands and install a new shogun. The death of her sister in this conflict made her realize she wasn’t living properly, so she ran away to start anew. Tokichiro, her nephew, son of her sister Hangaku, was one of the people Tomoe left behind. After the passing of his mother, Tokichiro was then taken as a protege by the shogun. His mother’s sacrifice made him grow with intense loyalty for the shogun and his cause, even recently as the shogun has grown more and more authoritarian. Si…
- Bloodless Dev Diary #2 - Story - 21 February 2024
Hi, I’m Renato, Point n’ Sheep’s narrative designer, and today I’d like to talk a little bit about Bloodless’ story and the latest content we’re working on. As we said in our previous Dev Diary, Bloodless began as a Game Jam project. The theme for this Jam was “You start with nothing”, so we thought about a swordless samurai who disarmed his enemies. This concept was the basis for Bloodless’ gameplay mechanics and narrative as well. After all, we needed it to be cohesive. So, which stories can we tell with this in mind? In Bloodless’ case, it is a story about the use of violence to achieve peace. Bakugawa, a japanese-inspired fictional land where the game takes place, has a history of war, invasion, insurrection and ongoing oppression. It's a setting which imbues ideals of violence to the characters living there. One of Bakugawa’s key locations is the Fishing Village, deep into the Bamb…
