VEIN Early Access Out Now!

Hi everyone!

We’re happy to announce that VEIN has now arrived to Steam’s Early Access.

In addition, we’ve shipped 0.022 Hotfix 1 with bugfixes and Early Access features to both the demo and the game. The changelog can be found below.

Thank you to everyone that helped us get to this point, as your feedback and comments have been invaluable in getting the game as far as it’s come from version 0.001. It’s been quite a ride but we think it’s just getting started – we have a lot of work to do.

Enjoy!
