The Killing Stone Lets Demons Speak Shakespeare - And That's Just the Start

Want to hear demons recite Shakespeare while you stab their eyes out? The Killing Stone's got you covered. The card battler—inspired by Inscryption—releases February 18, 2026, with a voice cast featuring Critical Role’s Liam O’Brien and Baldur’s Gate 3’s Emma Gregory.

The game’s meta-narrative unfolds within a “spooky house” framework, where players research upgrades to progress.

A standout feature lets players toggle between modern English and early modern dialect for all voice lines and text, immersing them in a Shakespearean tone. Developer Question, known for work on Bioshock, called the toggle “a damn miracle” in balancing accessibility and thematic depth.

One quote from the team reads:

"There's a pleasing tactility in placing creatures and watching them slash each other to a pulp."

With its blend of strategic card combat and narrative experimentation, The Killing Stone aims to redefine the genre’s boundaries.
