Tips and tricks for besting the demons on the battle line.

Even though you can't control the cards in your hands, you can control where you place your pieces. My strategy: clear the demon's creatures and prepare to dominate the next round.

This is how you keep a demon on his toes.

How to kick a demon's ass.

The key to winning our card battles is optimizing moves. Notice how I'm willing to hold a card between turns, undo my moves, and discard cards that are clogging up my hand. Watch your tooltips and pay attention to how keywords interact. The results can be devastating.

"Pay me no respects?"

Oh, but we have so much respect for the talented and gracious @emmagregoryvoice.bsky.social for voicing our Mariken, the dark matriarch of #theKillingStone.

There could be no other. Listen to that voice. Who else could transcend death?

How it feels to play our indie game.

Demo available on Steam. Play and wishlist.

We'd love to hear what you think.

What's your game about?

It's a question devs get all the time, and sure, I could write out some dry prose, but wouldn't you rather hear @voiceofobrien.bsky.social explain the game of souls?

Of course you would.

Sound on, and let him whisper in your ear.

When we were refining the card battle interactions for The Killing Stone, we needed an undo button so we could test out various card combos. We loved the results so much, we made it a feature of the game. Here's how to optimize Undo in battle, and put those demons in their place. #indiegames

At every crossroads, there is a bargain to be made. In the Killing Stone, the Maven cannot win unless she outsmarts the demons of VÅKENATT during a ritual and emerges victorious after three rounds of bargaining.

The stakes: a child's soul...so choose your Boons and Banes wisely...⚖️

In the game of souls...

...sacrifices must be made. 🐑

Muto has strong feelings about One-Eye, but then Muto is a smart kitty. Maybe it's because One-Eye smiles all the time, and it's hard to trust anyone who smiles that much. Luckily, we have our familiars to sound the alarm when things seem not quite right.

The Killing Stone demo was unleashed upon the world earlier this week.
