About this game
What if running a raiding guild was a single player game...
Theorycraft puts you in the raid leader chair and lets you play the full progression loop: recruit a roster, shape builds and policies, navigate social dynamics, and execute difficult encounters where every pull is an opportunity to learn and progress.
Theorycraft focuses on practical raid decision-making: who to recruit, how to gear, how to adjust individual's priorities, and whether your current plan is likely to work. Use encounter replays, combat logs, meters, threat tables, and a live win rate prediction to turn uncertainty into clear next steps.
Whether you prefer pausing to micro-manage key moments or letting the raiders play themselves, Theorycraft is built around one fantasy: the strategy, pressure, and stories of progression raiding without scheduling 40+ humans.
Note: Theorycraft is actively evolving. Expect regular updates, new encounters, UI polish, and quality-of-life improvements as core systems mature. See developer roadmap in-game.
Developed by a solo indie dev.

Hello,I go by Jex, and for 10 years I've been working to make this game a reality- my homage and love letter to my favorite gaming experience of all time. It started as an excel spreadsheet and has now grown into a bespoke c++ game engine.
