About the Game

Play dice with the Universe. Wield the fundamental forces of physics to control the Universe... and to shape what the next iteration of reality will be. A strategic rogue-like dice-battler with deckbuilding elements where you balance your skills against your luck.

Take the role of a Universal Concept who shapes the very fabric of reality with the power of one of the fundamental forces of physics-- weak, strong, electromagnetic and gravity. Each power provides a distinct and unique playstyle, moveset and dice with special abilities.

Each run crosses the lifespan of the entire Universe, from the Big Bang up until the Big Crunch when the Universe collapses back in on itself, ready to be born again. Your victory or defeat determines your position during the next iteration of the Universe (the next run); when the rules of physics are written during the first Plank epoch, your performance in the previous run will influence reality itself to be favorable to your chosen force. Earn powerful Universal Laws that give you significant bonuses, unique abilities, and change the very rules of the game itself.

Face off against the other fundamental forces in a series of dice-based battles. Your moveset determines the dice outcomes that earn you points (such as straights, of-a-kinds, specific sums, etc). After each roll a decision must be made: will you stay safe and keep the points you have earned-- or roll your remaining dice for more points, but risk not gaining more, and instead losing everything collected so far.

As the four forces struggle eternally as the Universe itself is born and reborn-- could a fifth, previously unknown force arise, looking to permanently break this cycle for it's own malevolent benefit?
