Epic Games Store maintains its aggressive strategy of attracting new users through the weekly distribution of free licenses. The digital store released the redemption of The Stone of Madness for all profiles registered on the platform. The tactic aims to increase the application’s installed base and encourage the consumption of other products in the company’s ecosystem.

The work requires tactical reasoning in real time and focuses on isometric stealth. The setting transports the player to an 18th century Spanish monastery.

Installing the game requires modest hardware specifications, allowing older computer owners to enjoy the tactical experience without performance issues.
