Sacrificing Souls: A chilling Arctic mansion mystery card-battler from the creators of The Blackout Club

The Killing Stone: A Unique Deckbuilding Card Battler Set in the Arctic Mansion

Venturing into the world of deckbuilding card battlers can often feel overwhelming, but The Killing Stone offers a fresh take on the genre. Developed by Question Games, known for their innovative titles like ‘The Magic Circle’ and ‘The Blackout Club,’ this game sets itself apart with a unique setting in a mansion located in the Arctic during the 17th century. The team behind Question Games includes developers with experience from acclaimed games such as Bioshock, Thief, and Dishonored.

At its core, The Killing Stone presents a captivating blend of a table-top game and a narrative filled with demonic encounters. Players take on the role of facing off against demons to save the souls of the cursed Svangård family. As you progress through the game, you’ll unravel the mystery surrounding your missing friend Mariken, who seems to be at the center of the chaos. The game features immersive first-person exploration of the mansion, engaging conversations with the Svangårds, and encounters with various animal familiars. The narrative is delivered in two distinct dialects – “period 17th century English” and a more modern prose, with full text and voice-acting for each.

With its intriguing premise, The Killing Stone offers a rich gameplay experience that challenges players to navigate through a world filled with occult mysteries and supernatural elements. The early access version of the game includes three primary story acts focusing on different Svangård family members, three demon lords to battle against, and optional ritual missions that offer 6-8 hours of gameplay.

As development progresses, the team at Question Games plans to expand the game with more languages, additional story content, enhanced voice acting, and a deeper mystery for players to uncover. Player feedback will play a crucial role in shaping the future updates of the game, making it a collaborative experience for the community. The team aims to introduce endgame content titled ‘The Reckoning’ in the upcoming 1.0 release, promising an even more immersive gaming experience.

For fans of narrative-driven games and deckbuilding card battlers, The Killing Stone offers a unique blend of storytelling and strategic gameplay. While the game is still in early access, the potential for a compelling and engaging experience is evident. As players embark on their journey through the haunted mansion and face off against demonic forces, the mysteries of the Svangård family and the secrets of The Killing Stone await to be unraveled.
