Variance

Variance is an anime-styled roguelike role-playing game from Realm Studios, in development on Somnia since 2024. Players push through procedurally generated dungeons in fast combat, building power from pickups and upgrades within a run and strengthening the hero between runs; each season swaps dungeons, enemies and questlines, with hand-drawn animation and an original score.

The onchain side avoids a separate wallet gate: the game runs in a browser and starts from an email, Discord or Google login, while ownership and progress verification go through Somnia records so characters and gear carry portable ownership. An open playtest ran from 31 July to 3 August 2025 with new modes, loot boxes, leaderboards and community draws, and in September 2025 a generative collection built on the game's art was issued on Somnia mainnet.
