Vintage Story is an uncompromising wilderness survival sandbox game inspired by eldritch horror themes. Find yourself in a ruined world reclaimed by nature and permeated by unnerving temporal disturbances. Relive the advent of human civilization, or take your own path.
Progress through multiple ages
Start out empty-handed in the stone age and learn to survive by foraging, hunting, crafting, and fighting. Live through the four seasons and advance further by smelting copper for more powerful tools, creating bronze alloys, learning to work iron, mechanize common tasks and ultimately reach the steel age.
A wicked universe backed by original story elements
Take on the role of a lost being in the body of a tall blue creature and discover the remnants of civilization. There is no linear storytelling; it is up to you to piece together who you are and what has happened from the little evidence that remains. During your journey you will encounter wayward creatures, find old stories, battle temporal instability, and endure temporal storms.
One million square kilometers of unique, randomly generated landscape
Enter a vast open world populated by a range of cute, strange, dangerous, and horrifying creatures. Vintage Story utilizes a great deal of procedural technology to create immensely diverse landscapes, climate conditions, and geological features to always keep exploration fresh and exciting.
Unreal world simulation
Having undergone 6 years of continuous development the VS game engine now fully and believably simulates seasons, soil fertiliy, rock strata, localized weather patterns, rain, snowfall & snow accumulation, hail, realistic climate distributions, food spoilage, body temperature, animal husbandry, farming, block physics, inspiring sunsets and nightskies, mineralogy, knapping, clayforming, metallurgy, smithing, microblock editing and more

Just a warning to potential buyers: Itch.io store is evidently not providing download keys at this time. Bought the game but cannot play it without the key.
Yeah, I am having the same problem right now.
Turns out Itch.io ran out of keys, the dev was very responsive on the discord and said they're looking into it and should be resolved soon.
Fixed
minecraft with mods lol
The game runs so inconceivably smoothly. I have never had this kind of performance in Minecraft, vanilla or modded.
tbh i never lag with minecraft mods but thats js me. have fun with the game.
brodi why is everyone hating on me? im js sayin it looks like it,
Hello, I bought the game, I logged into both accounts and after downloading the game it shows me the wrong password or e-mail, has anyone of you had this problem and how do you deal with it?
Played it with my friend, awesome game.
10/10
It reminds me when I used to play the terrafirmacraft mod on minecraft when I was younger, but better.
add this to steam
looks nice!
aint that just shaders on minecraft
No..
Will there be a version for an android?
I would say not as they would have to basically make a new game since this one needs at least 16 gigs of ram and a 1070
Maybe they can optimise it a bit
thats funny
Hey. I'd be interested in translating this to Brazilian Portuguese. Hit me up somewhere if you have the time.
I absolutely loooooove this game <3
i wanna buy the game but rn i only have 15$ :( can somebody lown me 10$
do some chores and help your friends, you will have enough money in no time! it will feel great once you have enough to buy and enjoy your game. good luck
Will purchasing the itch.io version allow me to gift it to a friend? The main website isn't working for that right now.
Yes, the itch.io purchase can be gifted
Will this possibly come to steam
no since they dont want to give steam money and they just want to put all the money they recieve into the games development
oh yeah and i reccomend just going on their website since its 2$ cheaper
please add the ability to make saltwater source blocks with a bucket!!!! right now it only works with fresh water. if you dump a bucket of seawater then use the bucket on it again it just takes the water but when you do it with fresh water it only fill the bucket while leaving the hole filled.
Amazing game! Not many issues encountered yet, the world-gen could use some work, but there are mods in the meantime!
how do i get it to where i can play on my computer i bought it and i cant download it

From the description,
Too expensive please lower price.
rude..
if you look on the website of vintage story.. there is a free somewhat older version that you can try.. ;)
in the faq section.. it just has no multiplayer afaik..
I mean tbf it is $2 usd cheaper on their website.
If we're gonna be real, there are games with even more egregious prices for what you get.
This game is, at its root anyway, spawned from Minecraft, but you don't see nearly as many people complaining about Minecraft's price tag.
Even if I go back to Minecraft more often, in my opinion this game offers way more than Minecraft, and we're only paying for the base game without any of the mods.
If you're in a country where the price is abysmal, I'm sorry to say but try and spend your money more sparingly if the situation is that bad.
Olá eu queria saber porque vocês não criar uma versão pra mobile seria bom a maiô das pessoas não tem condições de tem um Pc e uma versão mobile seria bom pra essa pessoa tem gente quer que compra o jogo e não pode porque não tem um Pc e não tem versão mobile entendi.
Rodrigo, construir uma versão mobile de um jogo para PC não é algo fácil. É muito difícil pros desenvolvedores e eles teriam que congelar o projeto por muito tempo. E mesmo depois disso, pode ser que a versão de celular não rode no celular que você tem. É um mercado complicado.
I Can't open this game. I writeing my Gmail and pasword but game say It's wrong. How is this possible. I try 20 times. but game say same Words Howww. and Why! I do same think in Web site and It Works. But Game say its İncorrets wtf????
The accounts on our site and game account are separate, with their own password. If you haven't already you need to create a game account using the game key you get with your purchase. See first sentence of the game description on itch.io
I own the game on the official website, Chapter 2 came out recently, and I can't wait to see what unfolds, to some it's a rich game with a deep worldbuildign and hard to get learning curve, but once you're at the top, there's nothing stopping you, it's a pride you've built upon yourself and the world around you have changed to reflect on it.
Sadly, mast times I've played on server, they use mods to ease the difficulty, trust me... I understand why, but to me...
It's meant to be a challenge, you're not in a sprint race to get all the best stuff you can have, you're on a marathon to discover or rediscover some stuff, enjoy the tiny things, and decorate/detail everything.
Don't bet your life on stuff you only have for a short term of useage, bet on long term rewards, 'cause dang it sometimes life strikes real hard to those who don't prepare.
11/10, definitely NOT for everyone, but for the niche people with a stubborness over 9000 who wants a cozy world they've built on their own and took time to reach their comfort, it's definitely a masterpiece.
minecraft
Check out videos of the game on youtube, you'll learn that everyone playing Vintage story knows for a fact it looks like Minecraft, but it definitely is not Minecraft.
extremely loud incorrect buzzer
this is just a more expensive but worse minecraft i dont get it
minecraft literally costs more...
don't even joke lad. also *less expensive
Will this ever come to console or is it going with to be pc only
also will this run on an intel laptop?
PC only for the time being. It can definitely run on an Intel Laptop, but it very much depends on what kind.
Alright, thx.
Before purchasing, I wanted to know if my 11th generation Intel i3, 16 GB of RAM, UHD Graphics and SSD setup can run the game at least at a constant 30 fps on the minimum graphics.
they have (supposedly) lenient refunds, you could try the game and return it if it doesn't work
My garbage ancient computer that won't even update to the new Windows can run it on minimum-medium graphics just fine :)
very expensive for an unknown game
think its very complicated and polished
Lots of people have played this. Just go on youtube and lookup vintage story playthrough.
I'd like to see this on steam with localized prices. Comming from poland, 20EUR is way to high, this is like 4x more than minimum wage here.
Bit expensive for me. I’ll see if it ever goes on sale.
It Never Goes on Sale
open a version for android
get a pc brokie.
fr get a pc you ni-
I can't talk to you, don't break my ballsI can't talk to you, don't break my balls
Vercion for android?
Will this game come out on other platforms like Steam and such?
It won't be on Steam any time soon according to their website's FAQ, and the only other platforms I've seen it on is Humble Store and their own website.
I just purchased the game and i was wondering when the keys would be restocked again so i could redeem my purchase.
did you get a key yet my friends wondering?
sorry yes I did
launched the game. cant log in at all. I made sure my email was validated and even changed my pass a couple times.
You need to go onto the forums and make a game account if you haven't already; the forum account is different to the game account
same happend to me i made an account it still doesnt work
Ojala sacaran este juego para el Play5 o para el Celular 😞 yo quiero jugarlo pero no puedo por que mi computadora no tiene mucho espacio 😞. Desde que estoy viendo la serie de mi youtuber favorito me enamore de este juego 🥹 espero que en algún momento lo saquen para otras plataformas 🙏🏻🥰
Just bought the game and went to redeem the key and was hit with the error message "There are no keys available at this time, try again later"
me to bud
Restocked now
Hello. Bought the game and - like others here - there is no key.
From what I am reading - and could be wrong - the developer "stocks" keys that can run out and need to be replenished, at least for Steam keys. So until he restocks the keys it seems we get to wait.
Sorry about that, they are restocked. I'll ask if the itch.io devs could send out a warning email and decline the purchase in the first place if that happens
Appreciate it. Son got his key so all good. Thanks.
Hi, Tyron I bought the game but its not letting me redeem the key
What was the solution?
It still hasn't been solved, once its solved ill post a reply on what the issue is
issue is resolved. they had to restock the keys refresh and retry to claim your key
I also just bought the game and its saying no key available try again later
I also have this issue
Also this issue is persistent as i bought the game a few weeks ago and i still have the issue
