From the acclaimed creators of The Blackout Club and The Magic Circle, Question presents The Killing Stone, a unique card battler that plunges players into a dark, narrative-driven experience. Set in the remote reaches of the Arctic Circle during the 17th century, the game weaves a compelling first-person story against a backdrop of occult themes and dark magic.
The core of the gameplay revolves around the "Fanghella," or the Killing Stone, a ceremonial board at the heart of the game. Here, players will deploy a collection of magical creature figurines, cast potent spells, and utter ancient incantations to outmaneuver their opponents.
The game boasts beautiful, stylized art, with animated figurines that feel remarkably alive and responsive, offering a tactile experience that belies the strategic depth. Each move can be deliberated, thanks to a novel Reserve System that adds another layer of tactical consideration.
Beyond its strategic card battling, The Killing Stone immerses players in a world rich with atmosphere. Haunted sound design and evocative music complement the stylized visuals, creating a truly chilling and engaging environment.
The narrative explores spiritual and religious horror through a supernatural lens, touching upon themes like "Faustian bargains" for souls, all presented with a unique artistic vision.
This title is currently in Early Access, allowing players to experience its unfolding story and evolving mechanics. It supports single-player gameplay and offers full controller support, along with custom volume controls for a personalized experience.
The game is available in English, French, German, and Simplified Chinese, with full audio support for English and Simplified Chinese.
