Send your hero out. Watch the road. Bring the loot home alive.

VEYDRIS is a free dark-fantasy RPG that runs in your browser. You pick one of eight oaths, send your hero on short expeditions across a ruined world, and every fight on the way is actually fought. Everything you find stays unsecured in your mission bag until you get back. If you die on the road, the bag is lost.

It's made by one developer and it's in early alpha. I'm looking for players who enjoy loot-driven progression and are willing to tell me what feels good, what's confusing and what's broken.

✨ New this week (20 October 2026)

  • A new gate: a real character select with all eight classes in a portrait bar and a painted ability chain for every class.
  • Tower of Echoes: an endless climb with a server leaderboard. Every 5th floor pays Crystals, every 10th floor is guarded by a Warden.
  • Beast Pit: your companion fights rival beasts in daily duels. Elements matter and every round shows up as a damage bar.
  • Season Ranking: 14-day seasons. Expeditions, tower floors, bosses and epic finds earn points, and the top heroes get Crystals and Gold automatically.
  • Friends & guilds: help a friend's expedition home faster once a day, and join Raid Night for +50% World Boss damage and a Guild Chest.
  • A much faster first hour: your first expedition takes one minute, always brings a rare item and takes you to level 2.

🌕 Moonrise Festival is live until 18 April 2027

+50% XP, +25% gold, +25% materials, +15% loot quality, +20% mount find for every hero. Plus Golden Weekend every Saturday and Sunday and Hunter's Moon every Wednesday.


🎁 Founder's Gift

Founder's Gift: the Founder's Dawnmane mount and 200 Moon Crystals

Early players get the exclusive Founder's Dawnmane mount (−40% travel time, +10% XP, +6% gold find) and 200 Moon Crystals. Enter code FOUNDER in game (Settings → Redeem gift code) or simply open playveydris.com with the code. One per account, free, no purchase involved.


What you do

  • Choose an oath. Eight classes, each with its own signature mechanic, skills and look.
  • Pick an expedition. Every region offers 1, 5, 15, 30 and 60 minute routes, and each one has a daily focus: Hunt, Treasure Run, Delve, Harvest or Patrol. Queue up to three runs back to back – they keep going while you are away.
  • Travel Manual or Auto. In Manual mode the route stops at each enemy and you watch the fight on a combat stage, then press Continue. In Auto mode the same server-side fights are resolved without playback, and you can read the rounds in the report.
  • Make decisions on the road. Pick one of three sealed chests. Find material caches, keys, rare named enemies and sometimes a hidden side passage. Enter it and the main route pauses: three real fights, stronger regional variants and a guarded vault with at least one Rare item. Lose there and only the side-passage loot is gone.
  • Come home, or don't. A safe return secures the bag plus completion rewards, and you decide item by item what to keep or sell. Retreating secures the bag without the bonus. Defeat on the main route loses the whole bag. Items you owned before you left are never at risk.
  • Gear up and push on. Compare finds, upgrade, reroll in the Forge, craft from materials and take on the region's guardian to open the next chapter.

Features (all in the current alpha)

  • 8 classes: Rune Knight, Starcaller, Shadowblade, Wildwarden, Ash Cleric, Stormforged, Veilweaver, Chronomancer
  • 10 regions, 10 guardians, from the Ashen Catacombs to the Worldheart Rift and Aurex, the Fallen Moon King
  • Timed expeditions (1 / 5 / 15 / 30 / 60 min) with a daily mission focus, Manual or Auto combat, chests, caches, rare encounters and hidden instances
  • Risky loot: unsecured mission bag, retreat vs. push-on decisions, lost-find reports
  • Loot depth: seven rarities, rolled affixes with a visible roll-quality score, item upgrades, six-piece sets with 2/4/6-piece bonuses, unique items
  • Forge & crafting: refine, reroll and craft with expedition materials
  • Ascendant Shards & Eternal Rifts: multi-wave rift runs with modifiers and cache rewards
  • 39 mounts & 16 companions: from a trail pony to a cosmic skywhale, every one hand-painted by rarity. Found mounts roll their own mods. Mounts cut travel time by up to 85%. A few can be rented, most must be found on the road, some only in the vaults of hidden passages. Anything can drop anywhere, but each creature has a home region with the full chance.
  • Live events: the Moonrise Festival (until April 2027) plus weekly Golden Weekend and Hunter's Moon bonuses
  • Tower of Echoes & Beast Pit: an endless tower with a leaderboard and daily companion duels with ranks
  • Citadel buildings: Treasury, Moonwell and Royal Stables give permanent bonuses to offline gold, energy and travel time
  • Season Ranking: 14-day seasons with automatic Crystal and Gold rewards for the top heroes
  • Friends & Raid Night: speed up a friend's expedition once a day; a daily Raid Night with +50% World Boss damage and a Guild Chest
  • Live Chronicle: every epic find, level milestone and tower floor of every hero scrolls through the Citadel
  • Daily rewards: a 7-day login calendar and a Wheel of Fortune, 43 achievements with 20 titles
  • Rotating merchant with a daily refresh, plus a player Auction House
  • Social & endgame: Arena rankings, guilds, raid wings (Normal / Heroic / Mythic), a shared World Boss, public hero profiles
  • Chronicle: branching story missions with remembered choices, plus co-op boss fights for 2–4 heroes
  • Server-authoritative: combat rolls, loot and economy are decided on the server, so your progress lives in your account

  • Daily and weekly goals, a free season track, achievements, Bestiary, collections
  • Ascension with permanent upgrades once you've reached the top
  • New heroes pick their starter weapon from five randomly rolled level-1 weapons. Rare or better is possible.

Early alpha: what to expect

VEYDRIS is under active development by a solo dev. Please treat it as a test build, not a finished game.

  • Balance, drop rates, pacing and UI will change between updates.
  • The interface was fully rebuilt in October 2026. Some screens are still being polished, and a few enemies, bosses and raid bosses still use older scene art while new artwork is being made.
  • It's an online game. It needs a connection, and social systems like the Arena, guilds, market and raids depend on how many people are playing.
  • Save your recovery code when you register. It's the reliable way to get back into your account during the alpha.
  • No real-money purchases are available. Nothing in the game requires payment.
  • AI disclosure: the character, region, item and creature artwork was created with AI image generation and then selected, edited and assembled for the game. Code and in-game texts are also written with AI assistance; game design and balance decisions are my own.
  • Physical iPhone testing is limited so far; mobile was tested in browser emulation. Device reports are very welcome.
