Vellum v04.05.2025

Vellum is a cooperative, literary roguelike that turns your imagination into the ultimate weapon. You and up to three friends—or your own two hands in solo play—delve into a series of enchanted “Tomes,” each drawing on familiar stories but twisting them with unique rules and unexpected surprises. Every run is a fast-paced, under-30-minute adventure in which you harness brightly colored inks, combine potent spells, and decide how your foes grow stronger.

Colors define your role. Channel vampiric Red to leech health, unleash ceaseless Blue waves, command a loyal Green Inkling, or experiment with Pink, Yellow, Teal, and Orange. Each hue grants its own Signature Ink upgrades and unlocks new strategic paths.

Your spellbook brims with over 20 imaginative abilities: summon floating Planets to control zones, lunge forward with ethereal Swords, pelt enemies with giant Dice or acid Potions, and conjure metaphoric Flowers, Lanterns, Shields, Anvils, Ravens—and more. Pages of Power scattered through each run let you tweak or amplify spells on the fly, encouraging endless creative builds.

The Torn seek to rip stories apart—and you decide how they evolve. Between adventures, retreat to The Illuminated Library to research new talents, upgrade your inks, and decorate your own cozy Reading Nook. For those craving higher stakes, attach Binding Challenges to ramp up difficulty and rewards.

When even that isn’t enough, team up for epic Torn Lord Raids in two special realms—The Forgery and The Grey Area—and face off against nightmare versions of your foes. With over 300 Scrolls of Power, hundreds of decorative items, rotating global challenges, customizable talents, and endless Appendices to conquer, Vellum offers a fresh, color-soaked take on cooperative roguelike action where creativity really is power.
