Moves of the Diamond Hand first-person story RPG game Demo in a jazz-drenched city on Linux, Mac, and Windows PC. Developer Cosmo D Studios brings their creative magic to life once again. Which you can play now on Steam.
Award-winning indie developer Cosmo D Studios is back with a fresh new adventure: Moves of the Diamond Hand. This first-person story RPG throws you into a surreal, jazz-soaked city with mystery, dice-driven strategy, and a wild cast of characters. If you’ve played Betrayal At Club Low, you know Cosmo D doesn’t do ordinary. This time, things are even bigger, stranger, and packed with choices that actually matter.
The game is due to release on Linux in Steam Early Access, but here’s the kicker: the first full chapter is free to play as a demo right now. Not only that, but Moves of the Diamond Hand is also part of Steam Next Fest, so now’s the perfect time to check it out.
What’s the Deal?
You step into the shoes of a hopeful artist trying to break into Circus X, an elite creative crew that’s as legendary as they are impossible to join. The problem? They’re not hiring, and you’re also far from the only one with dreams of making it big. The city’s full of schemers, hustlers, and rivals, all looking for their shot at fame — or a way to make a quick buck off the chaos.
As you navigate the uncanny streets of Off-Peak City, you’ll meet eccentric characters. Since each has their own hidden agendas, uncover secrets, and get tangled in one of the weirdest mayoral elections ever. One of the candidates isn’t even a real person—he’s a clone of a Mayor from a century ago. And lurking in the shadows? A mysterious figure called The Diamond Hand, who is also pulling strings from behind the scenes. Are they a friend, an enemy, or just someone looking to shake things up?

Dice Decide Your Fate
Unlike your typical RPG, Moves of the Diamond Hand leans heavily into a tabletop feel. Your stats? Dice. Items? Dice. Conditions? You guessed it—dice. These aren’t just random rolls, though. You’ll be customizing and strategizing, tweaking your setup to get the upper hand in everything from conversations to heists. If you like dice-based drama, this title’s got it in spades.
