About Moves Of The Diamond Hand Demo

Moves Of The Diamond Hand is a first-person narrative RPG. It's set to the backdrop of a surreal dystopian jazz-drenched city. It builds on the gameplay of Cosmo D’s previous game, the award-winning Betrayal At Club Low. At the same time, it returns to the first-person perspective of Cosmo D’s previous games. Its dice-driven gameplay is deeper, the plot is richer and the scope is grander than ever.  This demo represents the first of four chapters in the Moves Of The Diamond Hand tale.

A new day dawns in Off-Peak City. The legendary Circus X, an actual circus and artist crew of the highest caliber, is somehow back in town. And they’re ready to put on the show of a lifetime. You’ve arrived on the scene, ready to become a part of it and mint your destiny. But Circus X isn’t hiring, and there’s plenty of people who want a piece of the Circus X magic (and money). To become part of this elite crew, you’ll need to figure out a way in. Sure, you have some leads, but you also have trouble.

This trouble arrives during the strangest Mayoral election in the city’s history. One of the candidates isn’t even a real person, he’s the clone of a Mayor from a hundred years ago! The company that created him is betting on his success, but two rival candidates plan to stop him at all costs. To add to all this, someone called The Diamond Hand is playing all the sides against one another. No one knows who this Diamond Hand is or why they're causing trouble. But somehow you become enmeshed in this drama. Are you a potential collaborator, or a pawn in the Diamond Hand's game? Sure, you may be new to the neighborhood, but the Diamond Hand underestimates you. They all do.

Moves Of The Diamond Hand evokes the feel of a multi-session tabletop RPG experience. Your stats are all represented as dice. These dice offer opportunities for drama and strategy. Items are dice. Conditions are dice. Disguises are dice. These dice are all customizable in a myriad of different ways. Still, players have control over which dice to use, how to upgrade them and which ones they want to roll or keep close.  This demo lays out a series of tense, enticing dice scenarios, which will only become more intriguing in later chapters.

The Demo represents the first chapter of a dubby jazz noir mystery.  You, along with your dice, will determine how it all plays out, right up to the very end.
