Amnesia: The Dark Descent is, perhaps, one of the most traumatizing games from my childhood. I remember watching Felix 'PewDiePie' Kjellberg play it (Barrels!) because my mom wouldn't buy it for me - rightfully so, I was far too young. While Pewds' antics certainly made things more interesting, what really intrigued me was the insanity mechanic - watching it whittle away at your soul bit by bit was so enthralling. It's a system that, if done well, can truly make a game, and this week's Epic Games Store freebie, The Stone of Madness, manages to execute it perfectly. Read the rest of the story..

Greetings, esteemed guests of this humble monastery. Since the game came out, we have been following your feedback and comments, and identifying the points where we could improve our game. Patch 1.0.3 for The Stone of Madness includes a lot of those small changes, as well as updates to a few features added in our last patch, along with tons of fixes, polish,quality of life changes, and a full text review. We've also made some important changes to how the Sanity system works, as we felt difficulty was focused too much on the early stages of the campaign, and wanted to achieve a smoother balance

Patch 1.0.2 Greetings, esteemed guests of this humble monastery. After many hours of silent toiling, the second patch for The Stone of Madness is finally here.

Greetings, esteemed guests of this humble monastery. We are really happy with the reception of The First Patch (and the First Hotfix).

Beckon action update: When moving as a group, your companions now follow the controlled character when they move to another scene, or use a trapdoor. And much more. -The Game Kitchen Development Team

Авторы невероятной дилогии Blasphemous опять вернулись к любимой теме борьбы с католической церковью, но оформили идею в виде тактического приключения The Stone of Madness. Смена жанра позволила им скрестить идеи из классических игр Commandos и Lost Vikings в самом странном симуляторе побега из иезуитского монастыря 18 века.

Greetings, esteemed guests of this humble monastery. A few users have experienced loss of progress after our last update. The good news is that no progress is lost, but the game was indeed ignoring a few savefiles. We have just updated the game with a fix, the problem should not persist after the update. Thanks for your patience and understanding! The Game Kitchen Development Team

Greetings, esteemed guests of this humble monastery. The first patch for The Stone of Madness has arrived! For reasons that are most surely clear to all our guests, we have deemed it worthy to be called The First Patch. We have read all comments out there and collated all the feedback that you so graciously provided. But still, this is merely the First Patch. As such, we have focused this update on addressing only the most urgent matters, and only those that could be adequately fixed in a timely fashion. This is the way we can ensure that everyone can properly drown in the madness that seeps w

https://media.tripwirecdn.com/013125/somkeyart.jpg Hi, esteemed guests of this humble monastery. We opened the gates of The Stone of Madness a few days ago, after long years of development. Behind these walls, we weren’t sure of what to expect and there was no small amount of uncertainty, as we knew we were trying something different: something risky, a game that could put off a lot of players. But we were wrong. The response of both critics and players has been absolutely incredible, so let me begin with a huge THANK YOU from all of us. Reading your words of support, your comments about our d
