HANGZHOU, China – March 31, 2025 – Sultan’s Game, the twisted narrative-driven card-based RPG that crowdfunded over $275,000 in its first week from developer Double Cross Studio and publisher 2P Games, arrives on PC via Steam today.
Sink into sin as the Sultan’s favored courtier, indulging his wicked whims to stave off execution. Every seven days, draw from one of four depraved card categories that command vile deeds. Pursue forbidden desires with Carnality, squander riches with reckless Extravagance, brave deadly exploits through Conquer, or offer up human lives when fate deals Bloodshed. Fail to fulfill a card’s demand within the week and suffer fatal consequences.
Roam a vast realm, from shadowy alleys and smoky brothels to the opulence of the Sultan’s Palace and the sanctity of grand Temples. Endure encounters with savage dogs and roaring lions… or face off against unholy demons and draconian dragons. Gather resource cards like Gold, Convictions, and Nobles to charm citizens and bend the royal court’s opinion. Sharpen the mind, amass gear, complete quests, and rally allies to become an influential force.
Seize control within the Sultan’s cruel game and ascend as a cunning manipulator. What starts as a deadly trial may become a gateway to power and influence. A political rival might serve nicely as the offering for a Bloodshed card, while a Carnality demand could transform a coveted figure into a devoted spouse. Make calculated decisions, as every extreme choice risks alienating close allies, leading to a stalemate in this twisted game.
Become fully immersed in Sultan’s Game’s rich narrative inspired by One Thousand and One Nights, brought to life through a lavish, baroque hand-drawn art style echoing the medieval era. Weave a tangled web of characters with over 1MM words and chase down over 50 multiple endings. Shape the Sultan’s destiny from within the boundaries of his twisted trials: pledge loyalty as a sycophant, orchestrate his downfall, dream of a utopia… or call upon ancient gods for erasure.
“It’s been a long journey, but we’re incredibly excited to finally launch Sultan’s Game,” said Yin Li, Producer and Developer at Double Cross Studio. “Whether you’re discovering the game for the first time or have supported us from the beginning, there are many memorable adventures ahead.
