Soulmate: Dice In Love / 灵侣：骰抱爱人

CHARACTER PROFILES All the characters are over 18 years old! Please don't judge people by their appearance! Cautions Before Purchase - 1. While this game includes the GALGAME segment, it features only romantic storytelling without explicit adult content. If you're seeking adult games, this game can not meet your expectations. - 2. I only have 1920x1080 and 1366x768 monitor available. If your screen isn't widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio), I recommend you play this game in "Window Mode"—especially for ultra-wide monitors. If you encounter image misalignment, I apologize in advance—I simply couldn't afford a high-end monitor for testing. - 3. This is a low-cost game. Due to limited funds, most of the budget went into character development. Consequently, icons, sound effects, and background images primarily use public game assets. If you strongly dislike such public game assets, this game likely won't meet your expectations. - 4. If you're solely interested in the romance storyline, you can play on STORY DIFFICULTY without affecting achievement unlocking. I put effort into the roguelike elements too, so I hope you'll at least give them a brief try. - 5. As a 30+ year-old single otaku, the stories I create might seem "unrealistic" or "ultimate fantasy". But isn't that the point of anime? It's meant to be fantastic and dreamlike. How delightful is it when a beautiful girl gets close with the player! ^_^ Isn't everyday life already "realistic" enough? - 6. This game allows custom player names. As a single-player game, I don't wish to restrict player's naming freedom. However, if you choose a "prohibited word" as your name, please refrain from posting it online. Let's preserve the purity of single-player gaming! I have no desire to implement "prohibited word" detection in a single-player game... About the Game The inspiration for SOULMATE: DICE IN LOVE comes from Spellrogue (Dicey Dungeons) + ぜったい絶頂☆性器の大発明!! + Xenoblade 2, making it a “Dice Roguelike X GALGAME” hybrid. This game caters to both roguelike and galgame enthusiasts, so it just a casual roguelite game. Pure galgame players interested solely in romance can easily clear the story mode. ^_^ Of course, I've also attach great importance to the experience of roguelike players. The full release will include advanced difficulty modes, allowing players to challenge themselves, build stronger skill set, and fully enjoy the thrill of dice-based roguelikes. ^_^ Please note this is a low-budget game. For other considerations, refer to the “Cautions Before Purchase” section above. In SOULMATE: DICE IN LOVE, you—an ordinary person—unexpectedly obtain the "Love Note". It allows you to summon your "Soulmate", who destined for a fated romance with you. In other words, you'll fall in love with a beautiful girl who suddenly appears. ^_^ Of course, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand—the succubus queen has set her sights on your body... You and your "soulmate" will grow closer and strengthen your bond each time you repel the succubus. Naturally, with your unique constitution, you won't have just one "Soulmate." ^_^ (See "Character Profiles" for details on the top) As a dice-based roguelike, the core gameplay is straightforward, much like Dicey Dungeons, Spellrogue, and Dice Legends. - 1. Roll the dice. - 2. Drag dice onto skill "cards" to meet their requirements. - 3. Activate the skill effect. - 4. Eliminate all enemies to win the combat. Beyond the core dice-skill driven mechanics, you can gift "Presents" (relics or artifacts from other games) to your "Soulmates" during matches. These Presents alter rules and transform gameplay. Mysterious events, elite encounters, and boss battles further enrich the experience. Don't be discouraged by defeat—you'll grow stronger next time! Outside the match, you can develop abilities and unlock (upgrade) more Soulmate Master skills to ease your next run. Of course, if you are familiar and understand the game, you can clear it without these aids. After all, this is a casual game. 1. Skills are categorized into Character Skills, Soulmate Master (Player) Skills, and Equipment Skills, offering rich possibilities for skill-building. When facing succubus, your "Soulmates" aren't just beautiful ornaments—they're empowered by "Love Note", gaining strength beyond the ordinary. Each character possesses unique skill combinations. As your tacit understanding grows, you'll unlock her new skills. Choose your favorite set! You're no weakling hiding behind beautiful girls. You'll wield Soulmate Master (player) skills to fight alongside your "soulmates"! Of course, as the commander, your wisdom is your greatest weapon. ^_^ Acquire diverse equipment during runs to refine your skill builds. Combine them with Character skills and Soulmate Master skills to create amazing synergies!!! 2. Collect new skill cards to your heart's content. In most deck-building games, players often skip rewards containing "useless" cards to avoid bloated decks that hinder key card draws and slow deck cycle. After all, delete cards is precious! Here, you can freely collect new cards—with 15 inventory slots, freely swap your equipped skill combinations outside combat. That seemingly ordinary card you hold now might synergize perfectly with one you acquire later. If you encounter a "high-cost" skill card that's hard to use immediately, simply stash it in your inventory. Bring it out and use it effortlessly in the late game instead of skip it outright. ^_^ 3. Simple Map Path Selection. For players like me who aren't quick thinkers, roguelike games like Slay the Spire often demand extensive time spent observing and selecting the optimal map route. To make gameplay more accessible, I've make the "scheduling system"that match the plot(players work part-time at a convenience store) to handle map route selection. At the start of each week, the manager presents four shift schedule options for you to choose from. Selecting one automatically sets it as your current map route. This approach is highly intuitive while preserving both randomness and the player's right to choose. ^_^ 4. Love both victory and beauty. Typically, winning matches is the primary motivation and positive feedback in roguelike games. This game incorporates GALGAME elements, allowing players to unlock romance scenarios with characters after matches. You earn love through your wit and sweat, amplifying that positive feedback! If you feel women are slowing down your dice rolls... don't mind my words. ^_^ The full release will feature: 10+ playable characters. Once development reaches a certain milestone, I'll release a playable demo alongside a crowdfunding campaign. If successful, additional funding will enable the creation of more characters. Each character possesses 8 skills. The Soulmate Master boasts 24 skills. Over 100 equipment skills are available. 100+ gifts. You can discover powerful synergistic effects. 60+ enemies, including 7 bosses with distinct mechanics. 50 random events—perhaps you'll uncover "easter eggs" in these mini-stories. 10+ advanced difficulty levels. Catering to hardcore players' thirst for challenge, these difficulty levels comprehensively test player skill. The above details the scope of the dice roguelike. Regarding the visual novel aspect, each character features 5 story chapters, totaling approximately 15,000 to 20,000 words. The overall text volume is around 200,000 words. (Use the source language for statistics.) Due to varying reading speeds and the requirement to unlock story chapters through the dice roguelike, experiencing the full story is estimated to take at least 10+ hours. Finally, I hope everyone can enjoys this game. Of course, I'd be thrilled if you grow fond of the beautiful girls I've created. After all, as an otaku myself, I've always found the fulfillment of love through the anime and galgame. ^_^ This game welcomes live streaming (including monetized streams). ^_^ Since I'm a needy indie dev, I can't afford proper marketing... Please include the Steam page link for "SOULMATE: DICE IN LOVE" in your stream description or mention the game during your broadcast. PS: But please note—players can customize their names, so absolutely do not enter any banned words!
