A Little About Our World

Hello players,

Those of you who got to playtest our game will have a sense of what the story of Journey to the Void is about, but if you missed it let us fill you in:

The game is set in a world on the brink of destruction. What was once a peaceful continent is now devastated by the increasingly frequent attacks of corrupted creatures. The player's goal is to unravel the mystery at the heart of the region and restore peace to this world, teetering between life and ruin.

While this is a bleak beginning, there is hope, which is a key element of our game—finding hope and moving forward. Also, seeing how small changes can make a big difference. That and using your deck of cards to defeat enemies!

However, how this story plays out will be up to you with each run you take part in. You are this world’s hero, and you can shape how you want things to go. That choice and agency will meld with the amount of customisation you can bring to your deck and the strategies you employ while playing the game.

We can’t wait to tell you more and to see you discover how this story can unfold!

Looking ahead to 2025



Hello players,

2025 is right around the corner, and we’re incredibly excited for everything that’s going to mean for Journey to the Void! First of all, the game will be launching! We don’t have an exact date for you yet, but it’s going to be in 2025.

Before that there will be a number of opportunities for you to play the game and give feedback, and we hope to work hand in hand with the community to make the best game we can! Our Discord server is one of the best places to talk to us directly! We hang out over there a lot, so be sure to join us!

We’ve been working on Journey to the Void for two and a half years now and it’s been such a joy for us. From sketching the very first prototype to exhibiting it for the first time at Milan Games Week. Then we had our first public playtest (thank you again), and on both occasions, we learned so much from watching people play our game for the first time.

It’s a little scary to put your work out there, you hope it connects with people but you also hope it just works! We feel incredibly thankful that people have enjoyed it and want to follow what we’re doing.

So, what does 2025 look like for us here at RuneHeads? Well, it’s going to be a lot of work, but we wouldn’t want to be doing anything else!

We can’t wait to share this journey with you!

Happy Holidays from Runeheads



Hello players,

The days are getting cozier, and we wanted to say a few things before we all head off for the holidays! Firstly, thank you to everyone who participated in our first playtest! It’s been incredibly validating for us to see people enjoying the game, and we’ve got a ton of valuable feedback!

This won’t be the last chance to play Journey to the Void before release, so keep your eyes open for more info as it comes in!

Secondly, we want to say Happy Holidays! It’s been an incredibly busy year for us here at Runeheads, so we’re happy to have some downtime. We are, however, very excited for everything the new year is going to bring!

We can’t wait to share this journey with you!

We’ve been so excited with all the feedback we have got so far as a bunch of you have got to play our roguelike, deck-building, turn-based RPG fusion! It honestly means so much to our small team to see people connect with something we’ve been working on for so long, thank you all!

Just to remind you, the playtest itself will end on December 18th, so if you haven’t had a chance already, be sure to sign up today! Simply head back to our store page and press the Request Access button and you’ll be in!

Journey to the Void playtest starts now!

Hello players,

From now until 18th December we’re running a Journey to the Void playtest. This is the first chance to play the game we’re opening up for the public apart fom a small audience at Milan Games Week last month. We’re so excited to hear feedback on everything, from card balance to core gameplay mechanics but we’re especially looking for feedback on how the game onboards new players.

There are a few ways in the game of building your character (some more effective than others in this particular experience) and a final boss for you to face down against. Let us know in the Discord if you find the journey enjoyable, any suggestions and bugs you may come across and whether you manage to defeat the boss!

We just want to reiterate that this is our first playtest, and not a demo, so please be aware that content may change between now and launch but we’re really looking forward to gathering feedback on the game!

Where can you give us feedback I hear you ask? We’re glad to open the doors to our Discord which you can find here. You’ll find spaces to speak with the devs, report bugs, leave feedback and discuss Journey to the Void in more detail.
