What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game has potential for very deep mechanics and a lot of interesting content, and to create a game as good as we think it can be, we want as much feedback as early as possible to help shape the game from the onset.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We aim for release late 2026 or early 2027 - depending on player feedback”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan for a game with more and even deeper mechanics, more upgrades/unlocks, more buildings, more cities, more player characters, more enemies, and more die types.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is playable from start to finish with deep mechanics already, with 1 hero character and 20 unique enemies including the boss. It has 3 types of unlocks, and only the first city / set of buildings. ”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The game will get an increased price when leaving Early Access reflecting the added value”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The game will be updated regularily and the developer will receive and give feedback on the connected Discord channel created for the game.”

About This Game

Die and Decay

Roll the bones. Build the city. Defy the dark.

Die and Decay is a medieval horror dice-placement game where every die must serve two masters: your Hero and the City. 

Keep, reroll, convert, and assign an expanding dice pool across six houses to forge attacks, raise defenses, gather resources, and unlock increasingly powerful abilities.

But victory in combat is not enough. Each monster brings a unique form of attrition that threatens the city itself. Balance immediate survival against long-term growth, build a powerful dice engine, and endure a procession of escalating horrors before everything you protect falls into decay.

  • Tactical dice placement with meaningful keep, reroll, and conversion choices

  • A shared economy where every roll shapes both combat and city survival

  • Organic progression through extra dice, rerolls, conversions, and Hero upgrades

  • Distinct enemies with city-damaging attrition effects

  • Dark medieval horror atmosphere and compact, replayable runs

Die and Decay is a dice-placement strategy game about defeating a sequence of enemies while keeping both your hero and city alive. 

Dice placed together produce increasing rewards. Resources strengthen combat, unlock more dice, rerolls and Transmute actions, or improve future starting stats. Surviving enemies attack the city through Attrition.

HOW TO PLAY

Roll your dice, keep useful results, and reroll the rest. Place matching dice into an open (empty) house that accepts their symbol; stacked dice produce +1, +2, +3, then +4. After placement, houses generate resources and combat values, and combat resolves automatically. 

The dice decay each round so the highest die is removed - and a house is locked as long as there are dice remaining in the house!

Build your engine, protect the city’s three lifelines, unlock upgrades, and defeat every enemy to finally stand up to the Pale Sovereign (yeah that's the boss!)
