A brain-burning solo dice adventure where every roll doubles as a tactical puzzle.
Who it's for
Solo gamers who love heavy, puzzle-dense adventures and don't mind spending real time thinking through every dice placement.
Not for you if…
You want a light or social experience — this is strictly solo, complex, and slow-paced, with sessions that can run a full three hours.
Vibe's take
Heavy and deliberate — this is not a game you breeze through; every encounter demands careful dice planning, and the tension comes from resource scarcity rather than luck alone.
Between Light & Shadow is a dense, brain-burning solo adventure told entirely through dice. You place and manipulate dice to move through encounters, manage equipment and resources, and make story choices that push back against servants of an ancient Shadow trying to return — either through standalone scenarios or one long connected campaign.
