About Neon Blood
In the year 2053, after the Third World War, humanity was reduced to a single megacity, Viridis. A city formed by two cities, the luxurious Bright City and the dystopian Blind City.
Axel McCoin is a detective who lives in Blind City. He fights against the unfair class difference that exists between the two cities in their dystopian society because he strongly believes in justice. His actions eventually turn him into a symbol of revolution.
In his adventure, Axel will encounter powerful allies who will help him in his purpose, as well as enemies who will stand in his way, such as Ruby Emerald, who will do everything possible to thwart Axel’s plans.
