Vellum (v1.2.0)

Vellum is a cooperative roguelike set in a vibrant, literary world where players take on the role of Scribers, wielding colorful inks and spellbooks to defend the pages of magical tomes from a mysterious force known as the Torn. Each run unfolds within a unique Tome, offering fresh mechanics and challenges inspired by classic tales and fables. Whether playing solo or teaming up with up to three others, players dive into fast-paced, dynamic encounters that emphasize creativity and synergy. The core gameplay revolves around mastering a diverse array of spells, each infused with one of six distinctive Signature Inks—such as vampiric Red, relentless Blue, or commanding Green—that define playstyles and unlock powerful upgrades. Spells range from conjuring ethereal weapons and summoning inky allies to manipulating the battlefield with area control and status effects, encouraging players to experiment and craft their ideal build. Between runs, the Illuminated Library offers a cozy hub where players can rest, customize their personal reading nook, and enhance their abilities through research and talent upgrades. As players progress, they encounter escalating challenges by applying Bindings that increase difficulty and by choosing how enemies evolve with over a hundred possible enhancements. Beyond the core adventures lie Raid Realms, where tougher foes and unique bosses test even the most seasoned Scribers. With over 300 powers to discover, thematic team bonuses, and rotating global challenges, Vellum blends literary imagination with strategic depth, inviting players to author their own heroic saga and protect the fragile world of books from unraveling.
