Press release:
Bristol, United Kingdom — April 10, 2025.
The Bristol-based (the UK) indie games publisher Yogscast Games and French Alps-based Jérémie & Thibaut, today announced with great joy and thrill that their roguelike colony sim “Kaya’s Prophecy“, is now available for PC via Steam.

“Gather some your coconuts and dust off the altar, for the fearsome deity Kalades has awoken and is feeling hangry. The cult – er, we mean colony – sim meets roguelike deckbuilder Kaya’s Prophecy is now available on Steam! Praise Kalades!” – Yogscast Games

Don’t you just hate when you’re just trying to survive in a tribal village and you accidentally awaken an ancient, sadistic deity? With his whole village gone and nothing but a couple of rocks and a demanding overlord remaining, humble villager Koa has a lot of work ahead of him. Players are challenged to seek out resources, fend off outsiders and rebuild the village. Oh, and one more tiny detail: they’ll need to keep Kalades happy to avoid divine punishment.

Restoring the village to its former glory will take time, resources, and plenty of sacrifices. Praying to totems and altars will bring awards, provided enough ‘donations’ are made. With a combination of crafting and prayer, players will discover new recipes, improve their equipment, and welcome new villagers to the tribe. However, as the village grows so too does the deity’s hunger…

The realms of Kaya’s Prophecy extend beyond the borders of the tribe, with a variety of areas to explore and secrets to uncover. Send villagers on adventures and embark on a roguelike trail swarming with random encounters, treasures, resources and card-based combat. Players must choose their cards carefully, making use of coco combos to craft a careful balance between defense and offense, gain rewards and continue along their chosen path.
