About the Game

VENOY is currently in development. Planned release: 2028/29. The Screenshots show the current prototype build (March 2026).

GAMEPLAY

Roguelite village building meets real-time defense! In VENOY, you defend your small village against endless waves of enemies while constantly managing resources and expanding your settlement piece by piece.

VENOY combines roguelite village building and RTS (real-time strategy) defense mechanics in a survival‑style colony sim

Every run tells a story of survival, sacrifice, and hope — as your villagers fight to build something that lasts.

What makes VENOY special: The Relics. 

These ancient artifacts fundamentally change the rules of the game. You find them scattered in ruins, hidden in graves, or earned through risky expeditions. Some unlock new buildings, others permanently improve your villagers or your village, and some hide a curse, or a blessing.

KEY FEATURES

  • Meta-Progression: If you don't survive, you carry your knowledge and the most powerful Relics into the next run.

  • Resource Management: Wood, stone, food, warriors → every decision counts!

  • Your playstyle: Active offense or passive defense? Safety or risk? You decide.

  • Ever-changing challenges: Every run slightly alters the world – new Relic combinations, different enemy waves, more (or less) luck?

  • Roguelite village building with permanent Meta-Progression

  • Real-time resource management & strategic base planning

  • Defense against ever-growing enemy hordes

  • Dozens of unique Relics that bend gameplay rules

  • Sandbox-like freedom in how you play

Build your legacy.

Survive. Break the curse.

Are you ready to raise your village from the shadows?

Wishlist VENOY now and follow development — help shape the future of this RTS roguelite.
