Epic Games has unveiled its latest weekly offering, and fans of tactical RPGs are in for a treat. For the next seven days, you can add The Stone of Madness to your digital library entirely free of charge via the Epic Games Store.
If you are a devotee of the atmospheric, challenging design found in Blasphemous or its sequel, this title deserves a spot on your hard drive.
The Stone of Madness
The Stone of Madness is a sophisticated stealth-RPG crafted by The Game Kitchen, the same creative minds behind the acclaimed Blasphemous series. The game is instantly recognizable by its striking, hand-painted aesthetic—an artistic vision the developers describe as a Goya painting brought to vibrant, haunting life.
The narrative unfolds within a labyrinthine 18th-century Spanish monastery, where you command a band of five desperate captives plotting their escape. Success hinges on a delicate balance of stealth, precise assassinations, and spell-casting. However, the gameplay adds a layer of psychological complexity: you must meticulously manage the mental health of each character, as their unique histories, phobias, and traumas actively influence their ability to survive. Since its launch, the title has earned favorable reviews from critics and maintains a “Mostly Positive” reception on Steam.
If you are ready to face the shadows of the monastery, simply head over to the Epic Games Store to claim your copy. This offer is available until Thursday, April 23, at 11 a.m. EDT.
