About This Game

THE WRITE IDEA

Vellum is a co-op, literary roguelike; harness the class-defining colors, master an inspired spellbook, and influence the growth of your enemy - your imagination is key to saving the books!

Team up with pen-pals or dive solo into each mechanically-unique Tome where every page is another step toward rule-breaking power!

Dip your quills in quick, dynamic adventures full of synergy, discovery, and the ultimate power fantasy!

IMPROVE YOUR SPELL-ING... WITH COLOR!

Wield colorful, class-defining Signature Inks - feed your health with vampiric Red, blot out enemies with endless waves of Blue, command your Inkling pet with Green, and discover the strengths of PinkYellow, Teal, and Orange!

Author your own playstyle by mixing together a wide roster of ink-fueled Spells; warp in Planets to control an area, lunge forward with sharp Swords, clobber distant foes with Dice, toss splash-heavy Potions, summon inky Flowers, Lanterns, Shields, Anvils, Ravens, and many more heavy-handed metaphors!

Color infuses each Spell from the start - in these books, your creative builds and revolutionary ideas will reach untold heights; Pages of Power constantly offer fresh ways to discover, combine, and master the world-making mysteries of ink. Imagination is your superpower.

SAVE THE TOMES FROM THE TEAR-ABLE TORN

Dive deep into the myriad Tomes: echoes of familiar tales and fables with unique, run-altering mechanics. Band together with your fellow players to harness thematic, team-wide boons in your fight to preserve these pages.

Plot twist - The Torn hunger for pages of their own! Play to your strengths by choosing how your foes evolve. Save more books from this dynamic foe, apply higher Binding Challenges to each journey, and overcome even the toughest obstacles to protect the Illuminated Library.

HOME: FREE TO BE YOUR SHELF

Home, sweet home! Rest and regroup in The Illuminated Library between adventures. Refine your strengths by researching and enhancing the power of your Ink! There's always a cozy place to read - especially when you can make one yourself! Explore the Library's secrets, then relax in your personal Customizable Reading Nook!

RAID BETWEEN THE LINES

Deeper evil lies in store,

Beyond the page and secret door,

A broken realm where magic fades

Beware the dreaded Torn Lord Raids...

Table of Contents:

  • Swift Tales: Approachable, under 30-minute roguelike runs crafted for quick gameplay sessions for 1-4 players.

  • Signature Inks: Infuse your spells with one of 6 colorful classes, complete with their own unique upgrades and rewarding challenges!
