Origin story
Ventreville: A Cure for Sorrow grew out of an original Dungeons & Dragons campaign of friends during the COVID-19 pandemic. Led by Dungeon Master and now-CEO/Creative Director Renée, the team wants the game that brought them together to also be a means of connection for others in a different medium.
Spicy Bread Productions is the company formed for the purpose of releasing Ventreville. It aims to share the story of not only these characters, but also point to the depths of human relationships and hope.
