This is my favorite moment in the game: Exploding Eyeballs. While everyone is hard at work on the first, big, update of The Killing Stone, I'm piecing together footage of exploding eyeballs. Shhhhh. They can't stop me. Poor, poor demons. Such tender, squishy eyeballs. Which one is your favorite?

I mean, yeah. Muto was obsessed with One Eye from the start.

Meet the familiars of Vakenått. Each one can give you gameplay advantages with their special Boons, but one must pay the cost... in scritches and snoot boops. Pay no attention to the sickly child on the fainting couch, he does that... lately...

Greetings #PitchYaGame, We invite you to Våkenatt and bid you welcome. Please warm yourself by the fire and indulge a demon in a friendly game of cards. Though we must ask: Do you have a soul? The stakes, you see, are quite high. Wishlist the Killing Stone. Coming early 2026.

Tips and tricks for besting the demons on the battle line. Even though you can't control the cards in your hands, you can control where you place your pieces. My strategy: clear the demon's creatures and prepare to dominate the next round. This is how you keep a demon on his toes.

How does an #indiestudio create a soundtrack for their 17th century folk horror game? Step one: Hire a badass audio team. Step two: let them be their weird, wonderful selves. @chrisrickwood.bsky.social made his own tagelharp (YES - handmade!), then he also tracked down a hurdy-gurdy just for us.

How to kick a demon's ass. The key to winning our card battles is optimizing moves. Notice how I'm willing to hold a card between turns, undo my moves, and discard cards that are clogging up my hand. Watch your tooltips and pay attention to how keywords interact. The results can be devastating.

What do you know? It works! This is Harley, one of the manifested familiars of @questiongames.bsky.social. True to her nature: where is box, there is cat. Tell us, if you put a box on the floor to manifest a familiar of your own, what would it be? Bonus points for pictures.

A cat in a box, manifested from an unknown, but generous realm - one that gifts cats to we mere mortals. She looks surprised to be here.

"Pay me no respects?" Oh, but we have so much respect for the talented and gracious @emmagregoryvoice.bsky.social for voicing our Mariken, the dark matriarch of #theKillingStone. There could be no other. Listen to that voice. Who else could transcend death?

How it feels to play our indie game. Demo available on Steam. Play and wishlist. We'd love to hear what you think. store.steampowered.com/app/3987180/...

What's your game about? It's a question devs get all the time, and sure, I could write out some dry prose, but wouldn't you rather hear @voiceofobrien.bsky.social explain the game of souls? Of course you would. Sound on, and let him whisper in your ear.

We have an internal quote channel at the studio, but every now and then @nullspeak.bsky.social says something that's too good to keep to ourselves. DL = demon lord, and of all our demons, this is the one I can't wait to set loose on the world. She is 🤌.

When we were refining the card battle interactions for The Killing Stone, we needed an undo button so we could test out various card combos. We loved the results so much, we made it a feature of the game. Here's how to optimize Undo in battle, and put those demons in their place. #indiegames

Thanks to @tiny-gaming.net for diving into our demo, and for giving us this quote.

I was utterly flabbergasted. My Gast was completely Flabbered.

At every crossroads, there is a bargain to be made. In the Killing Stone, the Maven cannot win unless she outsmarts the demons of VÅKENATT during a ritual and emerges victorious after three rounds of bargaining. The stakes: a child's soul...so choose your Boons and Banes wisely...⚖️

In the game of souls... ...sacrifices must be made. 🐑

Muto has strong feelings about One-Eye, but then Muto is a smart kitty. Maybe it's because One-Eye smiles all the time, and it's hard to trust anyone who smiles that much. Luckily, we have our familiars to sound the alarm when things seem not quite right.
