Occult Horror Deckbuilding Game ‘The Killing Stone’ Out in Early Access Today [Trailer]
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.”
If you were wondering just where Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was all this time, you won’t have to wait much longer. Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Asobo Studio have announced via a new trailer that the game will launch for the Xbox Series, Day One with Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation 5 and Steam on August 27.
Pre-orders are open now, and include the Heritage Pack DLC and an in-game digital artbook.
Set 15 years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run and determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story blending combat, myth and fate with a brand new take in the universe of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’ Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon resonate with her.
Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the Island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters. Players will shift between the Middle Age of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present.
