Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About The Stone of Madness Special Edition
The Stone of Madness won me over because it respects the weight of its premise: you're not heroes, you're broken people clawing toward freedom. The real-time tactical stealth framework lets you pause and plan, which matters when your squad includes a coward, a pyromaniac, and a woman trying to forget her past. Each prisoner has genuine phobias that affect what they can do (heights, fire, crowds) and unlock unique story beats when confronted. The monastery itself is a carefully designed maze of observation points and guard patterns, rewarding players who read the environment rather than just execute combat. What kept me engaged past the first act was discovering that the game trusts you with narrative consequences. Your choices about who faces their fears, how you navigate moral ambiguity, and whether mercy or survival matters actually shift character relationships and available paths. The 80% Steam review score reflects a player base that appreciates low-volume, methodical design. This isn't a power fantasy or a loot-fest. If you enjoyed the character-driven patience of Disco Elysium or the squeaky-careful planning of Invisible Inc., this monastery will hold your attention.
