    The Stone of Madness has a unique setting, strategic mechanics, and engaging narrative. The combination of stealth, sanity management, and different narrative paths ensures a rich and challenging experience. Its artistic style is impressive as well. However, the high difficulty, especially at night, can make it frustrating for some players.

    The Stone of Madness is a stealth adventure set in an 18th-century monastery-psychiatric hospital. Players lead a group of troubled characters, each with unique abilities and phobias that affect gameplay. The Commandos-like approach requires cunning to overcome guards and obstacles by capitalizing on cooperation among team members. The beautifully reconstructed monastery oozes Gothic eeriness, while the plot explores the cruelty of religious institutions of the time. Despite a few technical flaws, the game offers a compelling experience for fans of the genre, who have been on a diet lately; almost starving I would say.
