About the Game



How We Die is a deck-building roguelike game with a board game/TRPG feeling that transforms uncertain probabilities into certainties.

The Game Becomes Reality

Hic and Illec complete a TRPG scenario that summons aliens. The next day, they hear news of an alien invasion in reality. Their game master, Is, leaves only a message saying, "Come to my home," before disappearing.

Pack Useful Tools in Your Bag

You can't achieve anything with bare hands. Defeat enemies and gather various tools to progress to the next map and reach your destination.

Use Tools Consecutively

As long as you meet the conditions, you can use tools as much as you want. Maximize your efficiency by utilizing combos to the fullest.

Enhance Your Character as You Go

Dice are resources and action points. Strengthen and modify the numbers on the dice faces to increase probabilities and create better combinations.

Add Settings to Your Character

Shouldn't we avoid adding alien worship beliefs to Illec? What's the harm if it increases the draw count?
