The Killing Stone: A Deckbuilding Card Battler Set in a Haunted Mansion I’ve been hesitant to explore The Killing Stone, a deckbuilding card battler, amidst the influx of similar games. However, as the game launches on Steam early access today, it's time to delve into this intriguing world. Developed by Question Games, known for titles like The Magic Circle and The Blackout Club, The Killing Stone offers a unique experience set in a mansion in the Arctic during the 17th century. The team behind Question Games includes individuals who have worked on renowned games like Bioshock, Thief, and Dishonored. Reminiscent of Inscryption, The Killing Stone presents a blend of a tabletop game and eerie occurrences within the game's universe. Players engage in a tabletop game against demons, with the fate of the cursed Svangård family hanging in the balance. Between gameplay rounds, players can explore the mansion in first person, interact with the Svangårds, and communicate with various animal familiars. The narrative unfolds through two distinct writing styles - "period 17th century English" and a more modern prose, complemented by full text and voice-acting. 17057
