A story about the cost of going on existing
when there is no reason left to.

Una Sangre

Five immortals. Eight centuries. A literary visual novel about guilt, faith, and the cost of choosing not to intervene.

Una Sangre is written, painted and developed by one person with 15 years of experience in the 2D animation industry (Netflix, Disney TV, Mercury Filmworks), under the name Studio Minaz.

Every line is written to be read slowly. There are few choices, and they are not small ones.
