To reclaim your identity, you sought the book of faces. Now it lies in your hands, and within it's page may be the key to who you are. All that remains is to open it.
A roguelike dice-builder.

This is an entry into Miz Game Jam 1! The theme was to the use the provided asset pack (shown below!)
I don't have a Youtube video, but I do (will have) a blog post here about how I made it and the numerous things that went wrong along the way.
No game breaking bugs found but you never know.

Hey! Thanks for letting me know! I'll give it a look!
- Have now listened! I enjoyed the pod. Glad you enjoyed the game, even with the *ahem* slightly wonky balance. It was for a game jam which required specific art assets to be used so it was very limited selection of art to work with.
-Also the music is the sound of Neptune (I think). Turns out, Neptune sounds weird.
This game looks awesome! Great work!
Just a small FYI: Your twitter link is busted in the description. I think you deserve to be seen, so hopefully this message finds you and you can fix it.

Hey, thanks for checking it out, and also for the update about the twitter! I've now updated it but really appreciate it :)
Any chance of a Mac build?
Hi Thomas! I've just uploaded one now.
Two caveats:
1) I don't have a mac and haven't been able to test it and have no real ability to debug for it so I can't guarantee it's stability and
2) This is not exactly the same as the Windows version in the jam - it's got about +3 extra of hours of tuning I did post completion and should feel slightly nicer, but there's also a chance I just broke some systems. I did give it a quick test and it seemed okay, though!
Hope it works!
Sweet, thank you!
Really attractive game; great use of the art assets. Great potential for a full game here.
