About the Game

Calypso is a roguelike dice-builder inspired by Balatro, the board game Pickomino and the Series Severance. You are an office worker. Your job is to play a cryptic dice game over and over again. Your directive is to generate the highest score possible. Build powerful synergies to create the ultimate dice scoring Rube Goldberg machine.

Each stage of calypso is played by throwing dice and choosing one side to score. After this side is scored it cannot be scored again for the duration of that stage. A stage is won by scoring enough to earn a relic:a game changing permanent upgrade.

Between stages, spend your hard-earned money on dice upgrades and cards to change the rules and break the game.
