Double Cross Studio announced that their recent title Sultan’s Game has managed to reach a new milestone. It seems that more than 100,000 copies of the game have been sold within 48 hours of launch. The game has managed to reach the top of the Steam bestseller list mainly due to its unique setting and gameplay.

Currently, the game has more than 3,400 user reviews on Steam with a Very Positive rating.

In celebration of this newest milestone, the studio revealed in a statement that they've released a special illustration. There's also a lot in the works right now like new story content, an epilogue, and even Steam Workshop support, among others.

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.
