Sobre este jogo

✣ Dread Chess is an original and strange narrative story-puzzle game that you can play as a chess sandbox by setting asymmetric rules for the players, or explore it in search of different endings and achievments.

Key Features

• Branching Narrative: Multiple endings based on your successes, failures, and the choices you make.

• Asymmetric Rules Sandbox: Design unfair advantages or crippling handicaps—then see them in action.

• Option to use Latin as main Language: "Mortales ludunt, dii rident"

• Dark Atmosphere: Gothic pixel art, unsettling soundscapes, and a story that lingers.

• Self-Playing Chess: Observe autonomous matches that reveal hidden truths and secret paths.

• Spectator Mode: Sit back and watch the AI duel itself, or share the spectacle online.

Narrative Mode

Confront the God of Madness as it poses three life-or-death riddles—discover the answers by watching enchanted, self-playing chess matches unfold. Each choice echoes through a richly decorated, gothic pixel-art world, leading you toward one of several hauntingly endings.

Sandbox Mode
Unleash your creativity in a versatile sandbox environment. Customize asymmetric rule sets and go head-to-head against the AI—or a friend—in a variety of modes:

• Card Mode: Choose from three thematic options (bad, average, good) for each move.

• Tarot Cards: Global conditions that change the rules of the game.

• Dice Mode: Roll the die to determine which chess piece you must move—luck may be on your side, or it may betray you.

• Classic Mode: Pure, classic chess with direct control.
