Following an impressive success that raised over $275,000 through a crowdfunding campaign, Sultan’s Game from Double Cross Studio and publisher 2P Games will finally be available on PC via Steam starting March 31, 2025. This dark, narrative-driven card RPG promises a unique experience filled with intrigue, danger, and moral dilemmas.

In Sultan’s Game, you play as a courtier who must satisfy the demands of a cruel Sultan through a series of challenges. Every seven days, one of four card categories is drawn: Carnality, Extravagance, Conquest, and Bloodshed, which require the execution of immoral or dangerous tasks. Failure to complete a task within the week results in deadly consequences.

You will travel through various locations, from dark alleys and brothels to the Sultan’s palace and religious temples. Along the way, you will encounter various dangers, from dogs and lions to demonic beings and mighty dragons. To survive and advance, you must collect resources like gold, conviction, and noble alliances, which you use to persuade citizens and manipulate the court. By building up intelligence and equipment, and solving NPC quests, you can recruit allies and expand your influence.

Sultan’s Game offers a rich and immersive story inspired by the tales of One Thousand and One Nights, depicted in a beautiful Baroque hand-drawn style that reflects a medieval aesthetic. You will navigate a web of intertwined characters and strive for multiple endings. It is possible to control the Sultan’s destiny in various ways: become his loyal servant, plot an assassination, strive for a utopia, or even summon dark gods to end everything.
