About the Game

Build a robotic floating platform in the hostile clouds of Venus.

In Venusville: Prologue, take command of an autonomous corporate mission to construct and stabilize a floating platform high in Venus’s polar atmosphere. With no humans on board, your robotic workforce must establish infrastructure, maintain balance, and power the systems to needed to test the future colony technology.
But as the platform approaches the planet’s swirling polar cyclone, strange signals begin to emerge…

Key Features:

  • Robotic City Building: Direct worker and engineer robots to process resources, builder robots to construct modules, and transport robots to optimize production, powered by charging stations and maintained by repair bays.

  • Buoyancy and Balance: Carefully position solar panels, Stirling engines, heavy batteries and vertical engines to keep your platform stable, preventing flips or descents into high-pressure depths.

  • Polar Exploration: Build a scanner station to map the polar region and track down the mysterious anomaly once detected from orbit.

  • Power Management: Harness solar energy and Stirling engines (using heat differences from altitude changes) to power robots and establish production chain.

  • Atmospheric Resource Extraction: Mine raw gases from the clouds and refine them into sulphur-based plastics, carbons, chemicals and metals.

  • Manufacture Advanced Materials: Use the basic resources to expand your city and manufacture materials like graphene, nanotubes, electronics, and diamond-based computer chips.

  • Environmental Challenges: Survive acid clouds, extreme temperatures, and pressure hazards that threaten your platform’s stability and power supply.

Venusville: Prologue is a focused, replayable prequel to the upcoming Venusville, introducing its unique floating-city mechanics in a mysterious and volatile setting. Build, stabilize, and prepare — something is waiting in the clouds.
