My guess is -with a name like that- that the game's gotta be one of
three things:

    a) a tongue-in-cheek workplace simulator where you take
       on the role of a nurse giving people injections
    b) something to do with vampires
    c) a over-the-top gore fest


So, let's see what Steam says it actually is:


    "Teeth-clenching stealth, followed by tactical hardcore
     gunplay for those not looking for a quiet way in.
     Intravenous redefines challenging stealth-action and
     will keep you on the edge of your seat!

     "You just entered the warehouse through the vent shaft
     as you hear voices from outside. They know you’re here.
     Someone must have tipped them off. You continue to stay
     in the shadows. You shoot out lights, flip off circuit
     breakers and lockpick doors. You are a silent assassin.

     You distract the guards by throwing bottles or imitating
     their wives voices. One by one you pick their lights out.
     Fuck. You’ve been compromised. You shoot out the next
     door lock and go in guns-blazing. In an adrenaline
     filled shootout you eliminate your target and barely
     manage to escape. Well done!"


What? No vampires at all? I mean, it is a shooter -with retro graphics
even- but it's not particularly gory.

Talk about false advertising!

(talk about not judging a game by its tile!)

Anyway, it doesn't look terrible, it's free, and The Number needs
feeding. Thank's for the update, Ant; may your nest be filled with
squirmy larvae forevermore!
