Origin story

Ventreville: A Cure for Sorrow started as college friends playing an original Dungeons & Dragons campaign during the COVID-19 pandemic. Life then scattered us to different corners of the country. But with the dream of bringing this story to life, we founded Spicy Bread Productions, and have been learning what it means to “be an indie game dev studio” and all that entails as we go!
