The Stone of Madness, a tactical stealth RPG from the creators of Blasphemous, is currently available to claim for free on the Epic Games Store until April 23.
PC players looking to add a fresh tactical experience to their library have a strong option on the table right now. As reported by Polygon, the Epic Games Store is offering The Stone of Madness as its featured free game for the week. Developed by The Game Kitchen, the team behind the acclaimed Blasphemous series, this stealth RPG drops players into an 18th-century Spanish monastery where five distinct prisoners must plot a daring escape.
The game stands out visually and mechanically through a striking hand-painted art style inspired by classic Goya paintings. Beyond standard stealth and combat mechanics, players must actively manage the mental health and psychological stability of each character. Every prisoner carries specific traumas and phobias that directly impact their ability to survive the breakout, adding a deep layer of resource and stress management to the tactical gameplay loop.
For anyone building out their backlog or hunting for a compelling single player adventure without opening their wallet, this is an easy recommendation. The title holds a solid Mostly Positive rating on Steam and earned a warm reception from critics when it launched last year. You have until Thursday, April 23 at 11 a.m. EDT to log in and claim the game permanently on the Epic Games Store.
