What Dice Hoarder is
Dice Hoarder is a cozy first-person organizing game. You have been hired to stock a mysterious dice shop full of scattered dice. Your work is simple: pick dice up, look at their colours and materials, and put each one where it belongs until a set is complete. There are more than 400 sets to rebuild.
The mood is the whole point. There are no timers and no rushing, just a cozy ambience, a relaxing original soundtrack, and ASMR click-clack dice sounds. There are magical dice to find, and there is a cat.
The shop itself is part of the hook. You were given a job, a shop full of scattered dice, and very little information about your employer. Keep completing shifts and follow the clues, and the truth behind your unusual workplace starts to come into focus. This guide will not spoil any of it.
How sorting works: the seven-piece set
Every set has seven pieces, one of each classic polyhedral die: a percentile die, a D4, a D6, a D8, a D10, a D12 and a D20. A set is not complete until all seven are in place, so a single missing die is what keeps you hunting.
Sorting is hands-on. You pick dice up and examine them, and the colour and material tell you what you are holding. Dice that look alike can belong to different sets, so slow down and look properly. The panel on the left shows the material and colour of the die you hold or have selected, so you can identify a die by reading the label.
In Story Mode, the next day begins only after you have stocked the required value of dice. That is the rhythm: sort, stock, finish the day, and come back to a shop a little more in order. There is no fail state pushing you to hurry.
Zen Mode vs Story Mode
Story Mode is the full game: you work your shifts, the days pass, and the mystery of the shop and your employer unfolds as you go. Zen Mode is the calm version: settle in and restock without interruptions, and sort for as long as you like.
One naming note: the developer calls it Zen Mode, while the store page key-features list calls it Chill Mode, one uninterrupted, story-free organizing experience. It is the same mode. This guide calls it Zen Mode from here on.
Start in Story Mode if you care about the mystery, because that is where the clues live. Start in Zen Mode if you just want to relax, or to learn the dice types without anything else going on.
Resin dice crafting
Sometimes a set is stuck on one missing die, and hunting the shop floor takes too long. That is what resin dice crafting is for. The developer says you will be able to craft custom resin dice to help fill the gaps in your stock. Think of it as a backup plan, not a shortcut. You still need to know which die is missing and which set it belongs to.
Save crafting for the last piece of a set. Crafting a die you could have found on a shelf wastes the effort, while crafting the final D12 that completes a set is exactly what the system is there for. Until players can test the costs after launch, treat that as a rule of thumb.
Floppy disks and sorting powers
As the days pass in Story Mode, mysterious floppy disks start to appear, and each one unlocks a sorting power. One helps you track down the remaining dice you need to complete a set. Another lets you pull those dice directly into your hand, as if by magic. Who leaves the disks is a mystery, and this guide will not answer it.
Use the tracking power first when a set is nearly done. It tells you where to look, and looking in the right place beats searching the whole shop. Save the pull power for dice that are hard to reach, like ones on the floor. Powers are tools, not a replacement for learning the dice.
Accessibility and PC specs
Dice Hoarder puts real work into accessibility. You can adjust the field of view, turn motion blur on or off, rebind keyboard and controller controls, and use inverted controls. There are colour-blind options, a simplified UI toggle, and a toggle for dice rotation in your inventory. Head bob is optional and disabled by default. You can zoom in to make dice larger and easier to pick up, and unlock crouching to get closer to dice on the floor. The left panel naming the material and colour of the die you hold lets you identify dice by reading.
The game is designed primarily for mouse and keyboard, with controller support designed around Xbox controllers. Steam lists it as Partial Controller Support, so mouse and keyboard is the safest bet for your first shifts. It is single-player, with Steam Achievements, Family Sharing and Save Anytime. The audio is in English, and the game supports Italian, Spanish (Spain), Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Russian, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, French and German.
| Spec | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 64-bit | Windows 10 64-bit |
| Processor | Intel Core i5-8400 | Intel Core i7-8700 |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM | 16 GB RAM |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 |
| DirectX | Version 12 | Version 12 |
| Storage | 4 GB available space | 4 GB available space |
One requirement is worth calling out: a dedicated GPU is required, so this game does not run on integrated graphics. Check your card against the table before you buy. The minimum is a GTX 1060 with 6 GB, the recommended is a GTX 1080, and storage is just 4 GB.
Your first shifts: six tips that hold up
- Learn the seven dice first. A percentile die, D4, D6, D8, D10, D12 and D20 make one set. Name each shape on sight and sorting goes much faster.
- Read the left panel, do not guess. It shows the material and colour of the die you hold or have selected. Two dice can look the same in warm shop light yet belong to different sets.
- Finish one set before you start three. A shelf of half-finished sets is hard to read.
- Save resin crafting for the last missing die. Spend it where a gap is the only thing standing between you and a finished set.
- Use the tracking power before the pull power. Find the die first, then pull it to your hand only if it is hard to reach.
- Pick the mode that matches your mood. Play Story Mode when you want the mystery. Switch to Zen Mode when you just want to sort in peace.
