Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want your clever builds, close calls, and hard-won victories to help shape Die and Decay. Early Access lets us refine the balance between Hero combat, city survival, and cascading card combinations with feedback from players exploring those systems in real runs.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are aiming to leave Early Access in late 2026 or early 2027. This is a target, and the timing may change as we respond to player feedback.”

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

“For full release, we plan to expand the variety of Heroes, Buildings, enemies, and upgrades, and refine balance, pacing, and presentation using player feedback. The aim is more ways to build your town and more combinations to master. Planned additions may evolve during development.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game supports complete runs through the first end boss battle, with 24 Heroes to work toward, 12 Building cards, and a roster of 20 enemies including the boss. You begin with the Knight; victorious runs unlock further Heroes. Each run features five encounters drawn from increasingly difficult enemy groups, followed by the boss. The playable systems include dice placement and decay, card upgrades from Basic through Tier Four, branching Crest cascades, Hero Combo Attacks, and between-fight Building rewards, town refits, and purchases of extra dice, rerolls, and transmutations.”

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

“We plan to increase the price when Die and Decay leaves Early Access to reflect the expanded game.”

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

“Share your builds, balance feedback, and bug reports through the Steam discussions and the game's Discord community. We plan to use that feedback to prioritize improvements and share updates as development progresses.”

About This Game

Roll the bones. Build a town that fights back.

Die and Decay is a dark fantasy dice-placement roguelike where your Hero and your city live or die together. Begin with three dice and a small town of cards, then build the combinations that can carry you through a gauntlet of medieval horrors.

Every die has competing demands. Put it toward a killing blow, keep your people fed, or invest in a stronger next encounter. A brilliant combat plan means nothing if the city collapses behind you.

Make a few dice do a lot

Keep the faces you need, risk a reroll, or use earned transmutations to change your luck. Stack matching dice on Hero and Building cards for rewards over several turns. Your full dice pool returns each round, while committed stacks keep producing as they decay. Check the forecast before you commit, and squeeze another turn of survival from a roll that looked hopeless.

Turn your town into a chain reaction

Upgrade your Hero and Buildings to awaken their powers. Match their Crests to send a call branching through your town, triggering extra production and charging your Hero's signature Combo Attack. Arrange advanced Buildings beside the right neighbors for even bigger rewards. Build the chain, then choose when to unleash your Combo.

Every victory changes your build

Between monsters, catch a brief reprieve: choose one of three new Building cards, advance your Hero or a Building by one tier, and refit a town of up to six Buildings. Specialize in a few powerful cards or spread your upgrades across a wider network. Spend your hard-earned resources on more dice, extra rerolls, and stronger transmutations.

The city is your other health bar

Horrors poison stores, profane shrines, and wear down your workers. Protect Provisions, Rites, and Labor: lose any one, and the run ends. Learn each enemy's pressure, adapt your priorities, and survive five encounters before facing the Pale Sovereign.

One victory. A new way to play.

Start as the Knight and defeat the final boss to unlock another Hero for future runs. Work toward a roster of 24 Heroes, discovering new dice strategies, starting towns, and signature Combo Attacks along the way. Different enemy lineups and Building offers give you new combinations to chase each run.

Find your next great combo. Wishlist Die and Decay.
