Deathroll

Three candles. One Host. Don't roll a 1.

Take a seat across from the Host in a candlelit horror dice duel.

Windows 64-bit beta 0.9. Deathroll is a single-player game in active development. Expect bugs and rough edges.

How the game works

Start with a d20 and take turns rolling. Every result becomes the next roll's ceiling. Roll a 1 and lose a candle.

You each have three candles. Keep yours burning.

Look beyond the dice

Inspect the room, find trinkets, and learn what the Host is hiding. The table is only part of the game.

For fans of tense, unsettling games like Buckshot Roulette, Inscryption, and CloverPit.

Beta & release plans

The current beta is available for Windows only. Full release is tentatively planned for November 26, 2026, with Mac and Linux versions planned for then. The date and platform plans are subject to change as development continues.

Controls

• Mouse: look around. Left click: throw, interact, or skip text.
• Hold right click: lean in for a closer look.
• Space: let a throw stand or hurry the Host.
• 1 / 2: choose a Loaded Favor die or call the coin.
• Esc: pause.

Content warning: flashing lights, sudden loud noises, jump scares, and themes of death and gambling.

Before you buy: this is a Windows download, not a browser game. The build is not code-signed, so Windows may show an unknown-publisher warning.
