Venture To The Vile is a story-focused metroidvania, set in a playful, yet sinister world.

In this narrative and exploration-focused adventure, investigate each corner of a town now lost to darkness, meet a peculiar cast of characters, take on unrelenting terrors, and discover new quests and stories as the world dynamically shifts and changes with the time of day and weather. Explore a rich 3D world by navigating parallel planes of 2D gameplay – if you can see it, you can reach it in Venture To The Vile.

Your life is plunged into disarray by an outpouring of monstrosities, that the townsfolk call “the Vile”. The arrival of the Vile has thrown the residents of the town of Rainybrook into shock and disarray. During the turmoil, your friend Luella is lost into the dark unknown, leaving you hurt with a blackened and mutated arm that can transform into a vicious claw. The Vile is all-consuming by nature, and you’ll absorb its abilities and powers with every death blow. Will you save the town and find Luella… or will you become the monster you’re fighting against?

The Vile is taking over, transforming people, elements and everything it touches into something ghastly and unrecognizable…

Immerse yourself in narrative quests while meeting a peculiar and memorable cast of characters while you search for your missing best friend, Ella. Delve into a playfully-sinister world riddled with mystery that unexpectedly evolves based on time of day or weather condition. Gain new abilities to battle vicious enemies. Transform more and more into the monster you’re fighting against as the Vile becomes all consuming.

Absorbing the Vile gives you more power but at what cost? As you become more of the Vile you’ll endure radical changes, taking on more of its characteristics and becoming increasingly grotesque and powerful. As you become more and more unrecognizable, you’ll gain striking abilities that enhance your progress in the game and your ability to defeat vicious enemies. How will this journey change you forever? And can you save the town or will you become the monster you’re fighting against?

A lost friend, a town-wide curse, and some mysterious new powers… This is what awaits you in Venture to the Vile when the game launches on Steam May 7th.

Immerse yourself in a rich narrative oozing with charm and memorable characters while getting lost in a whimsically dark world. Get to know the many quirky and charismatic NPCS such as the mad scientist, Dr. Crow, Mr. Finch and Mr. Dove the loveably inept crooks, the town gossip, Ernie Sparrow, Batty Badger, the eccentric tailor, and many more.

Explore a dynamic world as the time of day and weather conditions change your gameplay experience-- opening up new questions, unexpected upgrades, new monsters, and new narratives to uncover. Unlike conventional 2D games where backgrounds simply serve as visuals, in Venture to the Vile you’re invited to explore and uncover any area of the environment you can see and access. Solve innovative puzzles utilizing your logic skills and navigating the challenging 3D world within 2D spaces. Delve deep into the world around you uncovering the town’s secrets along the way.
