Sultan’s Game, the dark narrative-driven card-based RPG from Double Cross Studio and 2P Games, is set to launch on Steam on March 31, 2025. This gripping strategy RPG raised over $275,000 in crowdfunding within its first week, proving that players are more than ready to step into the shadows of the Sultan’s court.
Play the Game—or Be PlayedAs the Sultan’s courtier, you’re trapped in a high-stakes game of power and depravity. Every seven days, you must draw from one of four sinister card categories, each demanding morally questionable actions to survive:
- Bloodshed – Provide human sacrifices to quench the Sultan’s thirst for violence.
- Extravagance – Spend wealth beyond reason in the name of excess.
- Carnality – Indulge in the pleasures of the flesh to satisfy your master’s whims.
- Conquer – Embark on perilous adventures to prove your worth.
Fail to complete a challenge within a week? The consequences could be fatal.
Power, Influence, and the Fine Line Between Manipulation & Madness
Navigate the treacherous kingdom, from seedy back alleys to opulent palaces and sacred temples. Survive brutal encounters with everything from rabid dogs to demons and dragons, while gathering resources like Gold, Convictions, and Nobles to manipulate the Sultan’s court.
- Build Your Influence – Recruit allies, complete NPC quests, and unlock new strategies.
- Turn the Tables – What starts as a game of survival can become a path to power—perhaps even regicide.
- Balance the Madness – Extreme choices may push away even the most trusted allies. Saints and madmen rarely survive in the Sultan’s world.
- Shape the Ending – Will you become a loyal servant, overthrow the Sultan, or summon dark gods to end it all?
