The Stone of Madness

The Stone of Madness is a real-time tactical stealth game set in an 18th-century Spanish monastery, where five prisoners alternate control, use unique skills, and manage sanity while sneaking, exploring, and escaping.

From the studio behind the Blasphemous series, The Stone of Madness is a real-time tactical stealth game set in an 18th-century Spanish monastery in the Pyrenees. The monastery contains a madhouse and an inquisitorial prison.

Five prisoners, Agnes, Leonora, Eduardo, Amelia, and Alfredo, must work together to escape. Players alternate between all five characters and use their unique upgradable skills to cast spells, assassinate targets, distract enemies, stun evil spirits, and reach hard-to-access areas.

Each character has traumas and phobias that affect their sanity. Triggering these traits can lead to traumatic events with negative effects such as paranoia, dementia, or bouts of violence.

The game includes two campaigns with different stories, objectives, special characters, and surprises. Time is continuous, so players must consider the time of day: daytime is better for sneaking, exploring, and gathering materials, while night is for planning the escape.
