The independent Swedish development studio Chromatic Ink has existed since 2022. The team from Malmö began their activities by creating Dice Gambit, a production on the border of strategy and RPG games, allowing us to take control of an indebted family of inquisitors hunting for monsters wreaking havoc in their city.

Gameplay

In Dice Gambit the action is viewed in an isometric view.

Council of Inquisitors

We start the game by giving a visual identity to our inquisitorial family and creating its members, diversified in terms of gender, appearance and skills.

Over time, our lineage may expand thanks to marriages, and the characters representing it may have offspring, who will inherit both the appearance and powers and abilities from their parents. This last point means that the key to success is manipulating genes in such a way as to achieve the most effective combination possible.

Fighting monsters

During the game, we get to know the city's residents and carry out quests, in which we deal with monsters roaming its streets. Additionally, along the way we discover the secrets of the metropolis. The relations with the local nobility, whose favor is worth earning, deserve a separate mention.
