What is Pyre?

Pyre is a party RPG set in the Downside, a fantasy purgatory where exiles compete for freedom. You travel with a group of exiles, choose three for each Rite, and play three-on-three contests while making story choices. The journey continues after wins and losses, and a local versus mode lets two players compete outside the campaign.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy dialogue-heavy stories with branching choices
  • +you like fast contests where you choose your team
  • +you want local versus matches alongside a story campaign

Not for you if...

  • −you want action without extensive reading between matches
  • −you dislike sports-like contests as the main gameplay
