How to access the Laboratory branch

  • Right click on Dice Legacy in your Steam library.

  • Click on Properties.

  • Select "Beta".

  • Select the branch "laboratory" from the dropdown menu.

  • Close the window.

  • This should prompt a game update, after which you will be good to go.

  • If the game appears in your library as "Dice Legacy [laboratory]" you're on the right branch.

In case you want to revert back to the regular version of the game, simply follow the same procedure but select "none" in the Beta dropdown menu.

Warning

The Laboratory branch is to be intended as work in progress. In the Laboratory branch, the game could contain bugs, glitches or missing features. Additionally, some texts could lack translations. If you're seeking a stable experience, please play the regular version of Dice Legacy. The Laboratory branch will be considered the bleeding edge of development, and as such it could sometimes be rougher around the edges. Keep also in mind that the Laboratory branch does not share the same savefiles with the regular branch and that savefiles are to be considered as cross-compatible between versions.

The Memories Update

The Memories Update is a huge update to Dice Legacy which include two main new features. The first one is Memories, a system of modifiers that can be found, collected and carried through games. The main focus of Memories is to add more variety to the Dice Legacy experience. The second one is our reworking of Pause.

Memories

  • Memories are a new "horizontal" system that involves all the other mechanics present in the game.

  • Memories are unlocked after finishing the game at least once.

  • Memories can be enabled or disabled by the player in a game.

  • Memories are modifiers composed of a randomly chosen Positive and Negative effect.

  • Memories can be retrieved from certain Locations or by defeating certain Threats.

  • When a Memory is retrieved the player can choose between 3 different memory combinations.

  • When the player already has 3 memories, one will have to be discarded.

  • If the player manages to win the game, all 3 memories will be "Collected" and added to the memories collection.

  • If the player loses the game, only one memory - chosen by the player - can be collected and added to the memories collection.

  • When starting a new game,
