Five dice. One cursed board game. And a boss that just knocked you down to 5 HP. Hold the right dice, reroll the rest, stack your face powers and relics — and answer with a single Strike that hits for six digits. Pipkeep is a dice roguelike built for the moment the math breaks and the fight turns around. ROLL, HOLD, STRIKE Roll 3D dice across a candle-lit miniature table. Hold the ones you like, reroll the rest, and unleash poker-style hands — Pairs, Straights, Full Houses and the legendary Five of a Kind. Damage = Chips × Mult, and the numbers get ridiculous fast. FORGE EVERY FACE Glue Fire, Shields, Venom, Gold, Crits, Wilds and many more modifiers onto individual faces — plus a few nasty curses the enemies carve for you. Engrave numbers higher, temper faces to Level 3, and build a set of dice that is truly yours. RESONANCE — THE DIE IS THE ENGINE Stack the same modifier on one die and it Resonates. Put it on opposite faces and it Bonds and fires twice. Fill all six faces and the die turns Pure. Then line up your relics — engine relics care about their order. A NEW ADVENTURE EVERY RUN Branching maps full of relics, events and enemies — armored, regenerating, spiked and warded foes that each ask a different question, and bosses that bend the rules of the table. Heroes with their own signature dice, a journey through the crypt, the forest, the frost citadel and the Void, rising Heat levels, an Endless mode once you win, and a Daily Challenge that is the same for everyone. KEEP GROWING Level up each hero's Mastery to unlock dice skins, alternate starting dice, skills and hero relics. Chase goals that unlock new relics and faces, and from your second run on, pick a Boon before setting out to shape your build. MADE FOR MOBILE Landscape tap controls on iPhone and iPad. Save and quit anytime — pick up right where you left off, even after the app is closed. Built-in How to Play, reduce-motion, vibration and larger-text options, and a battery-friendly idle mode. Fully offline. No ads, no in-app purchases, no gacha, no timers, no energy. Languages: English, Japanese.
