El Viento

Developed by Wolf Team (later Namco Tales Studio), El Viento blends arcade-style action with exploratory platforming. Annet wields throwing daggers, magic spells, and a unique wall-kick ability that allows rebounding off surfaces at 45-degree angles.

The game's 12 stages feature branching paths and hidden areas containing power-ups like the Spread Shot and Hurricane magic. Boss battles against occult entities require pattern recognition and strategic use of the environment.

Notable for its Jazz Age aesthetic mixing Art Deco New York with Cthulhu Mythos elements. The soundtrack combines Latin jazz with synth-horror motifs, reflecting the 1930s setting and supernatural themes.

Though criticized for high difficulty and occasional hit detection issues, it's revered for its creative mechanics and as part of Wolf Team's unofficial 'Annet Trilogy' alongside Earnest Evans and Earnest Evans Special.
