The Killing Stone

The Killing Stone, starring @emmagregoryvoice.bsky.social & @voiceofobrien.bsky.social is out NOW! Can you beat the Devil at his own game? 🕯️🩸🪨 😈 youtu.be/tO1FtKzrSG4?... Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2781470/... Sony: store.playstation.com/en-us/concep... Xbox: www.xbox.com/en-US/games/...

Brad is one of the first to call out the way our Matriarch's sins manifest as cursed / suboptimal cards in each family member's deck. You must cleanse these sinful cards from their individual decks before ~48 hours elapses. This weakens the demonic pact staining their souls, and alters their ending.

Modifying a paintball gun so that when the paintballs burst they form the Nintendo Seal of Approval and mag dumping it onto this.

Remember when I yelled about this one a lot in Early Access? Go get your mitts on the whole bologna

I built the card game enemy AI for this, and the whole card game systems sandbox (which was exposed to designers and artists through a C++/Lua interface). That was one of the biggest pieces of a game I've ever owned, and I'm very proud of what we accomplished. Very glad to see it finally launch!

One of the most challenging localization projects we ever took at @locquest.bsky.social, but it was all worth it for that sweet forensic science credit! Congrats to the whole team @thekillingstone.com, you guys deserve all the success in the world 💖

I got to conduct this interview and I can't wait for you all to see it! A pleasure speaking with both @emmagregoryvoice.bsky.social and @nullspeak.bsky.social about this wonderful game!

This 17th-century gem we translated with @locquest.bsky.social is finally out of Early Access! It deserves all the sales in the world just for the narrative alone, so go check it out. I promise you won't regret it! I'm sure @lookingfor.game would love this 👀.

It's not every day that the designer of BioShock's Fort Frolic and The Cradle in Thief Deadly Shadows comes out with a new game. You should buy it!

Let loose like the devil from his bonds! 😈

IT'S GO TIME EVERYONE !!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 If you like: card games, horror, deals with the devil, and kickass designs + writing then you should check it out! And even if you don't! Still try it! This team makes fantastic stuff and so deserves the support

Emma: "And that's what AI will never, ever, ever..." Please enjoy some spicy launch day clips! This is an @emmagregoryvoice.bsky.social and @nullspeak.bsky.social interview excerpt, all about tripling down on human performance in the age of AI. www.youtube.com/shorts/_mJp_...

Bumping this for launch day. Go deep on the deckbuilder and demonic bargaining mechanics if you want, we think they're delightfully twisted takes on the genre. But! Story mode awaits if that's more your style of game. ❤️

Out today!!! Happy release day @questiongames.bsky.social ❤️❤️🙏🙏🔥🔥

The Killing Stone is out today and it's one of the best games I've played this year. I say that as someone who has no interest at all in deckbuilders or card games. On the surface, this would not be 'for me' at all. But I've played it start to finish in three days. An all timer.

Social anxiety haunted house where it's just a house party that you aren't sure if you're supposed to be there, everyone you make eye contact with asks why you're looking at them, and all the actors are laughing while you're not looking and stop as soon as you turn towards them

Bluesky seems to have slightly mangled the video uploaded here, so! Here's a cleaner youtube link to our first tease of a lovely big interview with @emmagregoryvoice.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/yMqbR...

“It works precisely because of the twisted game, the scary atmosphere bumping it, and the Baroque language spiking it directly into your forehead. I think this is a work of genius… I love that they're like, "oh, some peeple like word?!" www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2026/0...

“The card Nullwhere Spirit” was renamed to “Doomed Overguard” OH REALLY, Y'ALL DEMON-DEALERS GOTTA COME AT ME LIKE THIS ON A WEDNESDAY HUH?!

So we had a target for Nith! And there were plenty of details to solve - here is her ortho! - but our character modeler is fantastic and enjoys solving things as much as I do. He's made each of my concepts his own at the 3D stage and the game is better for it.

Our amazing concept artist/2D illustrator/UI designer/magically creative @samgauss.bsky.social shares a behind-the-scenes peek at the making of The Killing Stone.

I may have been the one encouraging David to run our socials and I do not take it back.

Our Design Director joined @thedivedown.bsky.social this week to dish on all things card battler. Listen in as Ken shares behind-the-scenes secrets about designing The Killing Stone.

Thank you, @emmagregoryvoice.bsky.social! There would be no Mariken without you.

This is my favorite moment in the game: Exploding Eyeballs. While everyone is hard at work on the first, big, update of The Killing Stone, I'm piecing together footage of exploding eyeballs. Shhhhh. They can't stop me. Poor, poor demons. Such tender, squishy eyeballs. Which one is your favorite?

The @asusrog.bsky.social / The Killing Stone giveaway is done. You can watch Jake play here: www.youtube.com/live/q-z_9Kn... and CONGRATS to all the super secret winners who had their prizes whispered in their ears. That appears to be a The Killing Stone theme.
