Gather supplies to survive, explore abandoned buildings, combat bandits, defend your home, and rebuild society with friends.

As time passes and seasons change, the world of VEIN does too. Persistent, large-scale random events affect gameplay.

We're releasing it completely for free for now. We'll charge for it later, when it's worth money. You can download it on Steam.
We're trying to get player feedback. We don't know what works or what doesn't work, and from feedback we can figure out what's fun and what's not fun, then fix the not fun parts.
We're aiming for every few weeks while it's free. When it's paid, we're going to be updating a bit slower (we want to get it as perfect as possible).
We are focusing primarily on a gameplay-first design over a graphics-first design. That means we want to prioritize getting features in regardless of if it looks perfect or feels smooth immediately. This lets us figure out what is fun and what isn't fun without a ton of investment in individual features.
We're also focusing on an iterative design. This means we constantly accept feedback and develop the game as a community rather than as a developer-to-player one-way product. We like playing fun games and sometimes community members suggest ideas that would make the game better for everyone - so it's important that we treat you guys like we would the devs.
As above, we're trying to focus on gameplay-first. We use placeholders where necessary and add features without considering if they'd work in the future. Doing stuff fast like this means the community gets fun content quick, and it means if the content isn't fun, we can cut it quick.
In VEIN, you can use every item. You can throw broccoli, vinyl records, and tin cans at zombies to try and kill them. You can shut off the power at junction boxes in your neighborhood, causing a blackout. You can kill a person with a thumbtack. You can eat enough Viagra to have a heart attack. You can drink bleach. All this is in the game already, with more being added every day.
