A month into our rolling open playtest, and we've packed this latest update with new features! Pretend you're big and green and like to smash--preferably a big green dragon* starting their hoard! Follow our first ever quest chain as the cute and impassioned Witch Maub trades a ne
Villainville's first ever playtest is live and getting regular updates! We're fixing bugs as they come in and also adding content. Since we're in Steam's Scream Fest, expect to see new quests and NPCs added every couple days, and tell us what your favorite is. Some like grave rob
