The Killing Stone
The Killing Stone invites players to use their wits to save a cursed family from their dark inheritance by beating a series of demons – and the Devil himself. The game features a unique first-person perspective centered around a game within the game – a battle for souls. This card battler showcases beautiful 3D art, game board figurines with dazzling effects, haunting audio, and an original narrative set in the 17th century in a remote region of the Arctic Circle.
- A Living, Tactile Card Battler: A ceremonial game board centered around the Fanghella, the Killing Stone, featuring a collection of magical creature figurines, spells, and incantations that allow for a variety of clever tactics.
- Strategic Reserve System with Meaningful Choices: A novel Reserve mechanic lets players stack units and buff incantations above the battle line for later deployment. Creature placement, spellcasting, and bargaining add powerful banes and boons to your deck, affecting your chances of success.
- Occult Horror Narrative: Play as the Maven and uncover the haunting truth behind Mariken Svangård's death (and life) as you engage family members and animal familiars in search of clues.
- Navigate Ritual Contracts: To save the family, you must win their souls through ritual combat with various demons. Every contract is signed in blood, then the bargaining begins. Forge, swap, negotiate, and battle through a series of rituals, the outcome of which are permanent banes (or boons) carried to your final reckoning.
- Dual-Language Storytelling with Acclaimed Voice Talent: The full narrative can be experienced in either authentic 17th Century English or modern prose, with customizable text and voiceover options. Featuring voice performances by Emma Gregory (Baldur's Gate 3) and Liam O'Brien of Critical Role.
