Core Concept

In THROWN, your actions are dice. Each decision, encounter, and outcome is driven by the dice you roll and how you combine their effects. You must weigh risk and reward on every turn, crafting strategies from limited information as the table’s rules bend around you. The game emphasizes tense, measured play where choices shape your fate and reveal fragments of a buried past.

Progression and Exploration

Build and upgrade your dice bag with over 50 different unique dice to discover. Your journey threads through a mazelike dungeon, dives into an underground cave system, and descends all the way to Hell. Each new area tightens the atmosphere and expands the tactical options available, pushing you to rethink your stance as threats evolve and the story deepens.

Retro Room and Mystery

In the Retro Room you decrypt old files—using a computer to read and update Floppy Disks. Alter the rules of the game and watch how those changes ripple through your playthrough, all while uncovering the buried truth behind your captivity and the kidnapper’s game.

Gameplay and Atmosphere

THROWN leans into psychological horror as you balance risk and reward within a turn-based framework. The dice are your power, your resource, and your weapon against the encroaching dread. The ever-shifting rules and unsettling setting keep tension high as you navigate encounters, puzzles, and the ongoing mystery of why you’re here.
