Hello friends. This is a Let’s Play video of “Dicewood” demo version. A tiny pack of tiny creatures was lost in the woods. The food was scarce, they had to choose who will be left behind… Fight through the dark forest and save all the creatures.
In the shadowy underbrush of Dicewood, survival is a roll of the dice—literally. This roguelike deck-builder entwines the charm of pixelated woodland creatures with the dread of a dark fairytale. Each animal ally, embodied as a unique die, offers distinct abilities, compelling players to strategize their escape from a relentless hunter through a forest teeming with ancient horrors and cannibal tribes. The game’s turn-based mechanics demand thoughtful decision-making, where every roll can mean salvation or sacrifice. Dicewood masterfully balances its endearing aesthetics with atmospheric tension, crafting a journey that’s as heartwarming as it is harrowing.
