Dice Carnival, developed by a self-described small team under the handle phantomscriptst, is now live on Steam following a last-minute approval delay that pushed back its release.

What changed

  • The game cleared its approval issue and is available to play as of July 18, 2026.
  • In response to the delay, the launch discount was raised from 15 percent to 20 percent.
  • The discount runs for 10 days from launch.

The announcement offered no technical explanation for what caused the approval hold, only that the issue has been resolved. The team acknowledged the wait directly and framed the increased discount as a thank-you rather than a standard promotional move.

For players who had the game wishlisted, the window to claim the steeper discount is limited to those 10 days.
