Moves of the Diamond Hand promises a “jazz-noir mystery” full of “drama, dice, and a slice.” Its story will be episodic, with new chapters released throughout its Early Access period. When it arrives on Steam, players will get to experience the first 2 chapters of the story. This should be plenty of time to experience the dice-rolling narrative gameplay and immersive sim elements that Cosmo D plans to deliver with this one.

In Moves of the Diamond Hand, players will encounter a densely packed world set in just one city block. The game puts players on a quest to join the Circus X, a legendary circus with a reputation for high-level artistry. But the circus isn’t hiring, and you’ll have to track down leads to try to figure out your “in” to join the elite ranks. But of course, you’re not the only one trying. To get a sense of the surreal, jazz-infused world on offer in this ambitious new indie RPG, you can check out the Early Access release trailer below:

As you can see, the first-person RPG lets players explore a surreal and colorful city full of interesting characters. Along the way, you’ll roll dice to determine the impact of key decisions, which will influence the story your playthrough ultimately tells. Moves of the Diamond Hand builds on the gameplay mechanics from Cosmo D’s award-winning Betrayal at Club Low, but with deeper dice-driven elements and a broader scope.

If you enjoy TTRPG-inspired games that bring the randomness of dice rolls to CRPGs, this is one you’ll want to check out. Moves of the Diamond Hand will launch into Early Access via Steam on April 13th. At launch, the game will be priced at $19.99. It is available to wishlist now if you want a reminder when it goes live. There is also a free demo to check out if you want to see more before you commit. Best of all, said demo just got a hefty update ahead of Early Access, so it better reflects what players will encounter when the game drops.
