If you happen to recall the bizarre 1999 point-and-click title Garage: Bad Dream Adventure, then you’re in for a treat. If you don’t, then… well… you’re still in for a treat because it looks wild.

Naturally, each genre has its respective highs and lows, but rarely have we seen both of them joined by the same game. That is, until we saw Dicefolk.
