Get ready to sink into depravity as Sultan’s Game is now available on PC via Steam. This twisted narrative-driven card-based RPG is being offered for $24.99 though it's being offered at 10% off for the next two weeks. The game offers language support that include English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.

In a statement, Double Cross Studio Producer and Developer Yin Li revealed that they are excited to be able to finally release the game. It has a lot to offer whether this is the first time they encountered the game or have been there since the beginning. He added that they're thankful for the "encouragement and feedback" that they've received on this "long journey."

A Cursed Game

In the game, players take on the role of the Sultan’s favored courtier as they indulge in his wicked whims in an attempt to stave off execution. Every seven days, they draw from one of four depraved card categories that command vile deeds. Players can pursue forbidden desires with Carnality, squander riches with reckless Extravagance, brave deadly exploits through Conquer, or even offer up human lives when fate deals Bloodshed. Those who are unable to fulfill the demand of a card within the week suffer fatal consequences.

Explore a Vast Realm

The Sultan's Game has players explore a truly vast realm from the shadowy alleys and smoky brothels and all the way to the opulence of the Sultan’s Palace and the sanctity of grand Temples. They'll have to endure encounters with savage dogs and roaring lions. They may even have to face off against unholy demons and draconian dragons.

Players have to gather resource cards like Gold, Convictions, and Nobles, as a way to charm citizens and bend the opinion of the royal court. It's important to sharpen the mind, amass gear, complete quests, and rally allies to become an influential force.

Rise to the Top

The main goal is to find a way to rise to the top as a cunning manipulator by seizing control within the Sultan’s cruel game. What begins as a deadly trial results in a gateway to power and influence.

A political rival for example might serve nicely as the offering for a Bloodshed card, while a Carnality demand could transform a coveted figure into a devoted spouse. Players have to make calculated decisions, as each extreme choice risks alienating close allies and lead to a stalemate in this twisted game.
