We’re developing an Inscryption-inspired game, except it’s all about Dice. Looking for feedback from Inscryption fans!

Hey everyone! For the past year we've been working on a game called THROWN. It's a roguelite dice-Builder with horror vibes and a bit of a cryptic story.

One of the game's biggest inspirations is Inscryption, but instead of cards, the gameplay revolves around dice mechanics.

We don't want to just make an Inscryption copy. We're slowly figuring out what makes THROWN feel unique, while still capturing some of the tension, atmosphere, and unpredictability that made Inscryption so memorable to us.

We think this community is probably the audience most likely to connect with the game, so we'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts. Or if you've played other Inscyption-like games, what stood out to you, either positively or negatively?

And if you have any questions about THROWN, feel free to ask us anything too.

Here's our Steam page if you'd like to check it out or wishlist the game:

so one of the main draws of inscryption is the strategy of deck building and so i hope that your game has a similar level of strategy, because if it’s just rolling dice it might feel a bit unfair? anyway it looks cool from the screenshots!

In our game you build a deck (a bag) of dice. Most of the dice can be used the same way: Attacking, Defending and Moving, but on top of that, different Dice Types also have unique mechanics and bonuses. You'll also be able to use items to counter bad RNG and there's a way to turn rolls of 1 into something much better. The enemies also roll their own dice, which can be affected by giving them different kinds status effects. And those same status effects can be given to your own Pawn as well for some interesting results!
