The Sushee pitch was a Legacy of Kain pitch developed by independent developer Sushee, described as a "3D remake prototype of Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen."[1]

Sushee closed before the pitch could be completed, and it never reached Square Enix.

Benjamin Anseaume, Sushee's CEO, revealed the pitch's existence in a September 2019 tweet:

When we had to stop @SusheeGames we were working on a 3D remake prototype of Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen. We never had the chance to pitch Square Enix, so here it is for you now. What do you think? https://t.co/oBRHxxDtul
―Benjamin Anseaume[1]

Asked whether this pitch bore any relation to Blazing Griffin's Omen pitch, Anseaume replied:

Hmmm... No. Not related.
―Benjamin Anseaume[2]

Commenting on the phenomenon of multiple failed Legacy of Kain pitches, he said:

Yep that's strange, but I'm not surprised in the same time. That IP still has a lot of fans...
―Benjamin Anseaume[3]

Anseaume deleted the original tweet without explanation shortly after posting it. While ResetEra user Dancrane212 salvaged the text, none of the assets shown were mirrored and archived in time. Dancrane212 described the content showcased:

To paraphrase the tweet, the pitch never got to Square Enix as the company putting it together, SusheeGames, wasn't able to get things to that point [I'm not sure if that meant the company closed or not]. Gameplay looked like third person Blood Omen with a lock-on similar to Souls and showed some of Kain's abilities like his wolf form.
―Dancrane212[4]

Later, it was publicised that Anseaume had showcased the gameplay footage again in a presentation at Game Camp France 2019.[5]
