MARK OF CAIN
// Fast · Brutal · Cursed //
A retro arena FPS where you play as John Demonhunter — a Greek badass cursed by God to fight forever. Every enemy is an inside joke. Every death is a punchline. Built solo from scratch using Godot, with original pixel art, breakcore tracks, and a meme-fueled story.
- Classic arena FPS — run, gun, bunny-hop
- 4-player local split-screen co-op
- In-game level editor + Steam Workshop
- Original breakcore soundtrack
- No battle pass. No seasons. No DLC.

The Dev
ONE DEV,
ONE VISION
I'm Stamatios Valis — a solo indie dev from Athens, Greece. By day I work a full-time job. By night I make games. Mangas Mango Studios is my one-man operation fueled by Greek coffee, bouzouki playlists, and a stubborn refusal to give up.
I build everything myself: code, pixel art, music, marketing — all of it. Mark of Cain is my first commercial release, and it's proof that you don't need a team, a publisher, or a sane sleep schedule to ship something you're proud of.
