Dont Die

Don’t Die is a Web3 strategic survival and single-player crypto roguelike, developed by Anomaly Games Inc. and built exclusively on Avalanche. Its launch is scheduled for October 2025 and offers fast runs where skill, risk, and strategy determine each player’s fate.

Game Description

Each run in Don’t Die is a linear journey divided into three chapters with checkpoints. The goal is to survive, score points, and multiply the value of NFTs in short 30–60 minute sessions, with the chance of reaching up to 10x in a single run.

The world is tense and unforgiving, with constant decisions between safe routes with small rewards or risky paths with greater benefits, always under the threat of losing everything.

At the end of each season, NFTs that survive and reach milestones are eligible for a stablecoin prize pool, funded by 80% of all NFT mints. Points collected during runs become entries into that pool, meaning every point matters.

Players can also find Stickers, cosmetics that customize characters and increase loot multipliers. Winning with a boosted NFT at 10x guarantees at least 10x its original mint price.

Gameplay

Gameplay revolves around NFT dice that determine progress and trigger events: battles with enemies, resting at camps, trading with merchants, or discovering rare treasures.

The risk-and-reward system is the heart of the experience. Riskier paths offer higher multipliers but carry the danger of losing the NFT. Progress is saved at checkpoints, and each chapter adds more complex mechanics leading up to the final boss.

Beyond classic runs, the game introduces two key innovations:

• Dice Building: every time you beat an enemy, you can add a new face to your dice. This increases power but lowers consistency, creating unique builds.
• Rewinding Time: time crystals found during a run allow you to rewind and correct bad rolls, opening up new strategic paths.

Game Modes:

• Solo Mode: personal survival in strategic runs.
• Tournament Mode: fast cycles with big prizes, integrated with Avalanche battle passes.

Web3 Features and Economy

Don’t Die leverages Avalanche blockchain to integrate true digital ownership and tokenized rewards.
