Dice Hoarder is a cozy first-person organizing game from DieCorp Games, out on Steam for Windows PC since November 13, 2026. You restock a mysterious dice shop by rebuilding complete seven-piece dice sets (percentile die, D4, D6, D8, D10, D12 and D20), and mysterious floppy disks unlock skills that help you find the dice you are missing. It costs $5.99 with a 10% launch discount, and it is too new for a deep walkthrough, so this guide sticks to what the developer, Destructoid and WorthPlaying have published, and says where there is nothing sourced yet.

What is Dice Hoarder?
Dice Hoarder drops you into a shop full of loose dice with very little explanation. According to the Steam store page, you were “hired to stock a mysterious dice shop”, and the job is to pick dice up, examine their colours and materials, and rebuild sets. Each set needs one of every classic polyhedral die. The Steam page puts the target at 400+ sets, and WorthPlaying’s announcement coverage from August quotes the press copy as “over 2800 individual dice”, which matches 400 sets of seven.
Steam lists the game as casual, organizing, cozy and puzzle, with controller support and score-attack tags. At about 11:55 UTC on November 14, the page showed 89% positive from 149 user reviews. That is a launch-day snapshot, not a verdict, and it will move.
Dice Hoarder release time, price and PC requirements
DieCorp Games said in its launch post on Steam (November 12) that the first shift started on Friday, November 13 at 11 AM PST, which is 19:00 UTC. The post lists the same moment as 2 PM Eastern, 7 PM UK time and 8 PM Central Europe, and 3 AM China, 4 AM Japan and Korea, and 6 AM Sydney on Saturday.
| Detail | What the Steam page and developer say |
|---|---|
| Developer and publisher | DieCorp Games |
| Release | November 13, 2026, Steam, Windows PC |
| Price | $5.99 USD, regional pricing applies; 10% launch discount ($5.39 in the US) until November 20 per the store page |
| Minimum OS | Windows 10 64-bit |
| Minimum CPU | Intel Core i5-8400 |
| Minimum GPU | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB |
| Memory and storage | 8 GB RAM, 4 GB available space |
| Input | Built mainly for mouse and keyboard; controller support designed around Xbox controllers |
The developer’s wishlist note says the game was close to 200,000 wishlists at launch. That is a number from DieCorp, not independent sales data.
How shifts, Story Mode and the relaxed mode work
The Steam page says there are no timers and no need to rush. In Story Mode the next day begins only after you have stocked the required value of dice, so you can search the shop at your own pace and then move on. The Steam page calls the other mode Chill Mode, an uninterrupted, story-free organizing experience; the developer’s launch post calls it Zen Mode. They describe the same idea, so look for either name in the menu.
The launch post also says the shop is running low on stock, so you can craft custom resin dice to fill gaps. DieCorp does not explain the crafting steps in the posts we could read, so we cannot say how it works yet.

Dice Hoarder map: where each die goes
Destructoid’s complete inventory map guide (November 14) says the dice must go back in a pre-determined order and that walking back to your computer to check it is inconvenient, so it made a colour-coded map. Its method is simple: separate dice by base material first, then place each one by colour. When you hold a die, the game shows its exact colour and material, and you match that against the map.
We are not copying the map image or its full colour list; open Destructoid’s page for the picture. This table only summarises how its markers are grouped, with a few of the named colours as examples.
| Marker row | Material heading (Destructoid) | Markers | Example colour names |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Plastic | A1 to A10 | Light Green, Sunset Dreamer, Butterfly Blue |
| B | Solid Resin | B1 to B8 | Sunset, Lollipop Red, Light Pink |
| C | Clear Resin | C1 to C12 | Cherry Blossom, Night Sky, Fire Dragon |
| D | Metal | D1 to D10 | Dark Grey, Light Purple, Yellow |
| E | Gemstone | E1 to E10 | Yellow Agate, Turquoise, Amethyst |
| F | Special | F1 to F6 | Purple Prism, Galaxy, Cheese, Bone |
| G | Solid Resin (second heading) | G1 to G4 | Yellow, Pink, Red, Dark Blue |
By our count that is 60 markers. Destructoid says there are seven base materials, but its list shows the Solid Resin heading twice (rows B and G), so treat the map image as the authority if the two ever disagree. Destructoid also did not say whether all 60 markers matter in Story Mode or the relaxed mode.
The game’s own help: a panel on the left of the screen shows the material and colour of the die you are holding or have selected in your inventory, so you can identify it by reading the label, according to the developer. You can also zoom in to make dice larger, and you can unlock a crouching ability to get closer to dice on the floor.
Dice Hoarder skills and floppy disks
As the days pass, mysterious floppy disks begin to appear in the shop. The Steam page says you use them to unlock strange new powers, such as tracking down the remaining dice needed to complete a set, or pulling dice directly into your hand “as if by magic”. WorthPlaying’s coverage adds a warning from the press copy: look out for any disks that look suspicious.
| Skill or ability | What the sources say | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Track down missing dice | Finds the remaining dice a set needs | Steam page, WorthPlaying |
| Pull a die into your hand | Grabs a die directly instead of walking to it | Steam page, WorthPlaying |
| Crouch | Unlockable, helps you reach dice on the floor | Developer launch post |
| Dice rotation toggle (inventory) | An accessibility option, not a skill | Developer launch post |
We could not find a source that lists every disk, how many there are, or what the suspicious ones do. Until one appears, the safe tip is to read each disk’s description in the game before using it. The developer says only that the disks are useful and that who keeps leaving them is “another question”.
Are there edible dice in Dice Hoarder?
“Edible dice” is a phrase people are searching for, but none of the three sources we read mentions anything edible or any eating mechanic. The only food-like names we found are in Destructoid’s Special row, which includes a Cheese die (F5) and a Bone die (F6). Those are material and colour names for dice you sort, and no source says you can eat them. We will update this section if the developer or an outlet confirms something.
Shop inventory and the basement
Your inventory is where picked-up dice sit while you work, and you can toggle dice rotation there. The Steam page and WorthPlaying both describe an unseen employer and a forbidden basement: WorthPlaying quotes the press copy as “never enter the basement”, and the developer’s launch post tells players to “disregard any rumours about the basement”. Nobody we read has published what is down there, and we are not spoiling a story we have not seen.
Accessibility and controls
The developer’s launch post lists these options: adjustable field of view, optional head bob (off by default), a motion blur toggle, keyboard and controller rebinding, inverted controls, colour-blind options, a simplified UI toggle and a toggle for dice rotation in your inventory. The game is designed primarily for mouse and keyboard, with controller support built around Xbox controllers.
Dice Hoarder tips from what is published
- Sort by material, then colour. That is the method Destructoid uses for its map, and it matches the label panel the developer describes.
- Zoom in and crouch early. Both are named by the developer as ways to make small dice easier to pick up.
- Use the floppy disks. The missing-dice and pull-to-hand skills are the two named ways to finish sets faster.
- Do not rush. With no timers, the only pressure in Story Mode is stocking enough value to start the next day.
- Check your GPU first. The developer says a dedicated GPU is required, and the minimum listed is a GTX 1060 6GB.
What we do not know yet
This guide is built from the Steam store page, the developer’s two latest Steam announcements, Destructoid’s November 14 map guide and WorthPlaying’s August announcement. We have not played Dice Hoarder. We could not source the number of floppy disks, the full skill list, how custom dice crafting works, how the “required value” per day is set, or any ending details. If you want other quiet games to line up next, see our lists of new cozy games in November 2026 and upcoming cozy games, and our best cozy co-op games pick. Launch discounts like this one are different from the big sales covered in does Steam have a Black Friday sale in 2026.
