I am so very proud of this extraordinary game. Come dance with the devil and see what you find..be careful what you wish for. The superb and wonderful team @questiongames.bsky.social have outdone themselves again. Head over to Steam - play on the fabulous demo store.steampowered.com/app/2781470/...
Thank you, Emma! 🫀 Follow her on bsky, BG3 & voice acting nerds! One of the finest voice talents alive. The Killing Stone may be read as my barely-veiled fanfic about her making a pact with the devil to go on performing for an extra 100 years.

So in the 1660s and 1670s, Leibniz had this idea for a "Characteristica universalis": "a theoretical, universal symbolic language designed to represent all knowledge, making philosophical and scientific reasoning as precise and unambiguous as mathematics."

How does an #indiestudio create a soundtrack for their 17th century folk horror game?
Step one: Hire a badass audio team.
Step two: let them be their weird, wonderful selves.
@chrisrickwood.bsky.social made his own tagelharp (YES - handmade!), then he also tracked down a hurdy-gurdy just for us.

If you're on the edge let me endorse is to you - in this game you literally bargain with Demons before fighting them, and thats hella cool. Also the demons are polite cosmic horrors, so that's a bonus.
Happy #WishlistWednesday!
The Killing Stone - dark folk horror for deck-builder sickos - two things that go together like bones and steel.
If this is your thing (and how can it not be?), please help us reach 5,000 wishlists before the end of the year.

It's gonna be 9 years I've been with Question in January. That's by far the longest I've been with any team, and far longer than most gamedev teams survive. I love this team.

Hmm. Hey Horror archivists - Condemned: Criminal Origins seems to have been de-listed from Steam. License expired. C:CO feels to me as if it comes from a parallel timeline where Western Horror went a different way.
Key re-sellers' prices aren't *gruesome* yet. So, just in case - here's a heads up.
