About the Game

Locked in a torch-lit medieval Basement 66

Beneath the earth, you sit across from a grinning figure cloaked in shadow. The basement smells of rot and sulfur. Between you sits a box—ancient, scarred, and engraved with strange symbols. The Devil invites you to play a simple game.

Roll the dice. Shut the numbers. Move forward.
But beware: in this game, whoever reaches the 66th field first dies.

In Basement 66, the classic dice game becomes a life-or-death duel. You and the Devil take turns playing a cursed version of “Shut the Box.” Every number shut pushes you forward on the board. The catch? If you reach the 66th field before the Devil does… you die.

To survive, you must master the mechanics, manipulate luck, exploit cursed tiles, and outwit the Devil himself—who cheats, lies, and toys with you as the race goes on.

All while strange memories begin to surface… and the Basement 66 starts to feel more familiar than it should.

Core Gameplay:

  • Classic "Shut the Box" meets a Death Race
    Each shut tile adds to your movement. Reach 66 and you lose. Reach it second, and you win. Carefully balance your progress—advance too fast, and you'll seal your fate.

  • Play Against the Devil
    The Devil rolls too, using his own rules. He mocks, cheats, and tempts you with risky choices. Accept his offers at your peril.

  • Medieval Horror Setting
    Set entirely in a decaying stone cellar—complete with rats, chains, and ancient relics—the atmosphere evolves with each turn, reflecting your growing dread and your opponent’s delight.

  • Procedural Horror & Replayable Design

    • Rooms subtly shift between games

    • The Devil uses different tricks each time

Key Features:

  • Tactical horror: You must plan moves carefully, choosing which numbers to shut.

  • Replayability & dynamic difficulty: The Devil’s tactics change between runs.

  • Immersive medieval setting: Fire, Blood and Gold, all of the best sins.

  • Perma death: Only one of you will survive.
