Question’s The Killing Stone, the occult horror deckbuilder is available today in Early Access on Steam, with a full 1.0 release slated for later this year. The game was originally slated to release in full today, but as detailed previously, the team elected to go the Early Access route to better refine the game.
You can currently grab the game with a 25% discount from now until March 4.
Set in a remote region of the Arctic circle, 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. You play as the Maven, who must uncover the haunting truth behind Mariken Svangård’s death (and life) as you engage family members and animal familiars in search of clues.
“In our world, demonic forces wager souls over skill contests, like poker or chess, and we’ve twisted the traditional deckbuilder to invoke a hint of both,” said Question co-owner and narrative director Jordan Thomas. “Wrapped around all that is a mystery, with branching conversations beautifully voiced by Baldur’s Gate 3’s Emma Gregory and Critical Role’s Liam O’Brien. In fact, you can play in either modern English, or 17th Century English for extra authenticity. Early access players will get the chance to help us shape the story and refine the gameplay into something truly diabolical.”
