Greetings, Masters of the Occult,
It’s been a week since The Killing Stone launched, so before we get into today's update, we wanted to take a second to say thank you!
Thank you for believing in our vision for this game, thank you for talking about it, streaming it, leaving a review, and telling your friends. We’re incredibly grateful to see so many of you rally around our 17th Century horror.
But, to business!
New Languages Unlocked
Firstly, we’re happy to announce that we have updated the game to support four additional languages: Simplified Chinese 中文, Latin American Spanish, French, and German.
This update also comes with some tweaks and fixes to issues that our players have found. Again, thank you! So, let’s get into it…

Numerous textual updates to the Narrative, fixing Typos and tweaking language slightly where it was confusing.
Numerous Minor UI Animation Glitches have been resolved.
Improved hit detection on hovered cards to better match card on screen.
Revelation count will now appear in all rooms, even if the player has skipped the tutorial.

Fix for a Softlock related to a Tutorial not firing during the Forge
Minor UI Fixes related to Input Icons sometimes being the wrong input.
Fix for incorrect illustration animation during Vollem chapter.

Card Changes and Fixes

NOTE: Intel UHD and Iris Xe cards not supported
Lastly, please note that the game is not compatible with Intel UHD and Intel Iris Xe cards. We do not have plans to support these cards, and these systems may experience issues. Thank you for your understanding.
As we mentioned at the top, we are incredibly grateful for all the love and support the game has received so far. If you have enjoyed the game, we ask if you could leave a review here on Steam. Reviews still make a huge difference to the game's visibility, especially for small teams like ours! We will have more news, our content roadmap, and more to come in the future, but for now…
See you out there, Maven.
