About the game

Circadian Dice is a game inspired by single-player deck-building games, but instead of upgrading a deck, you build up a set of dice! Use 10 different heroes and 60 game-warping relics to take on 13 hand-crafted scenarios, in runs that take 10-30 minutes. Lots of secrets and unlocks to discover!

this is an incredibly fun game that is truly hidden gem. its a shame more people dont know about it. super fun dice face changing broken build mechanics with an insane amount of content and soooo much to unlock, all thru normal progression.

I bought three different rouge-like-ish games during the spring sale of 2026. This game was the ugliest and the least discounted. This was still the cheapest one though. I ended up refunding the other two games because this was just leagues better. It's much more fun, the runs are pretty short. Circadian Dice proves that gameplay trumps everything else in the end. A bit similar to the mobile game Slice & Dice which...
