Crimson Shroud is a role-playing game developed by Nex Entertainment in collaboration with LEVEL-5 and designer Yasumi Matsuno, released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2012. The game serves as a deliberate homage to tabletop RPGs, centering its combat and progression on dice mechanics. Players roll dice in real time during encounters, chaining skills together to accumulate bonus dice with progressively higher face values. Strategic management of those dice is essential, as careless use leaves the party vulnerable to enemies. The narrative follows Giauque, a young Chaser, alongside his companions as they become entangled in the mystery surrounding a powerful relic known as the Original Gift, the Crimson Shroud itself. The game blends adventure and strategy elements within its RPG framework, and its production brought together a number of prominent figures from the genre's history.
