Two Tiny Dice :

Defeat hellish monsters in Pyrene - an upcoming fast-paced dungeon-crawler by French indie studio Two Tiny Dice, available September 13 on Steam.

After the commercial and critical success of FORWARD: Escape the Fold, solo-dev-turned-studio lead Christophe Coyard is back with a game that borrows from its predecessor's ideas all while building upon every single one of them. Pyrene officially launches on September 13 2024 on Steam (PC & Mac) and prepares to show off its shiny new title to roguelike dungeon-crawling fanatics.

With multiple playable characters (including a stoat), a variety of distinct biomes and a ton of unlockable items, this first look at Pyrene will give Two Tiny Dice fans and newcomers alike a taste of this brand new experience. Unite with your fellow villagers to confront the sinister Demon Herensuge and his horde of hellish fiends, hell-bent on shattering the tranquility of your homeland. Use your deck-building skills to make it out of the unforgiving dungeons of the Pyrenees alive.

Developed by a team of passionate roguelike, dungeon-crawler players - Pyrene will feature the standard elements all roguelike enthusiasts expect with a robust deck-building system and a unique combat approach that rewards you the more you play.
 

Key features:

  • Mythological Setting: Pyrene is based on Basque mythology, a never-before seen pantheon in video games.
     

  • Strategic Decision-Making: Balanced between ease of play and strategy, Pyrene presents deep deck-building elements that intertwine with its dungeon-crawling gameplay to force you to think before making any move.
     

  • Unique Characters: Play as a diverse cast of characters from your village, each one possessing unique skills, mechanics and magic. Tailor your deck to your hero to make the most of each run!
     

  • Built for Replayability: With a wide range of objects, biomes, relics, talismans & spells, no two runs are the same and you will be able to develop ingenuous strategies to navigate the game’s story and endless modes YOUR way.
     

About Two Tiny Dice and the making of Pyrene
Following the release of Forward: Escape the Fold in March 2022, Christophe realized the potential of fast-paced card-based roguelikes and decided to work on a new, more ambitious title. Joined by Jeanne and Marion, artist and writer respectively, the trio started the journey to create Pyrene. With more features, a complex storyline and deep gameplay, the game aims to bring a refreshing take on the roguelike deck builder genre.
