Additional Information
El-Viento (the Spanish word for "the wind") begins in 1928 with Annet, a sorceress who has telepathically harnessed a portion of Hastur's immense power, getting attacked by a mob of hired hitmen. From this point forward, Annet is constantly barraged by thugs, cult members, and other nefarious do-badders.
Annet fights her battles with an endless supply of boomerangs and various spells, including fireballs, strong water currents, explosions, and the wind itself. The wind cutter spell is especially powerful because it spreads over a wide area, thrashing every villain in its path.
One of the few videogames set in the early 20th century, El-Viento features some unusual settings such as the rooftops of old buildings, a speakeasy (prohibition-era club), and an automobile factory which cranks out depression-era cars.
