Read full description

Five dice. Four dark realms. Build your hero, reshape your rolls, and challenge the keepers in an offline adventure where every choice changes the battle. Five dice lie between you and the darkness. What will you make of them? Dicebound: Obsidian Trials is a single-player fantasy adventure built around tactical dice combat, powerful relics, and lasting character growth. Explore four mysterious realms, confront their keepers, and carry what you learn into your next journey. MAKE EVERY FACE COUNT Roll five dice, hold the faces you need, and turn combinations into attacks, protection, and healing. Read the enemy's next move before committing to your own. Chase a full house, complete a straight, or make an imperfect roll work in your favor. PUT YOUR OWN TWIST ON LUCK Spend Focus to nudge a die or reveal its opposite face. Change combinations between turns to build a chain. Before rolling, choose an optional Omen: meet its condition for a bonus, or face a stronger enemy response if you fall short. BUILD YOUR WAY THROUGH THE DARK Choose the Guardian, Warlock, or Ranger. Assemble a five-die loadout from 12 dice types, upgrade your favorites, and discover 24 relics that change how an adventure unfolds. Unlock permanent talents and develop each hero's mastery. FOLLOW THE PATH YOU CHOOSE Move between battles, elite encounters, strange bargains, merchants, and quiet places to rest. Four chapter bosses stand between you and the story's conclusion. Victory brings new opportunities; defeat leaves your earned Gold and experience with you. TAKE A SEAT AT THE DICE VAULT Try a separate three-round dice challenge. Keep scoring dice, bank your points, or risk another roll. Score with every die to trigger Hot Dice and bring all five back into play. Your final score earns in-game Gold. KEEP THE ADVENTURE GOING Return to earlier realms, climb through five difficulty levels, test yourself in a fixed-seed trial, or enter the Endless Stair after completing the story. Fill your collection, pursue 33 achievements, and improve your personal records. PLAY AT YOUR OWN PACE Enjoy atmospheric artwork, a three-dimensional dice tray, and an entirely offline adventure. Progress saves after each decision, so you can leave and return to your journey. No accounts, advertisements, in-app purchases, energy systems, or daily login requirements. Gold is earned through play and has no real-world monetary value. The next roll is yours.
