With a blank page and a magical quill, you must explore lost scroll-worlds, uncover forgotten legends, and restore order before all written history is wiped clean.
A Story That Literally Unfolds
The narrative of Vellum is built to respond dynamically to your choices. The game’s story unfolds on animated scrolls, with your actions physically rewriting the parchment beneath your feet. Characters will remember what you say, cities will rise or fall by your influence, and endings will differ dramatically based on how you write your legend.
Immersive, Ink-Crafted World
The world of Vellum is hand-illustrated to resemble ancient manuscripts with ink-washed skies, parchment roads, and calligraphic creatures. It’s not just eye candy; the aesthetic ties directly into gameplay. As The Blot spreads, ink bleeds into the world, distorting the landscape and turning once-beautiful verses into corrupted nightmares.
