In a recent video series from Tripwire Presents, players can explore the unique strengths, weaknesses, and fears of the five playable prisoners, each with their own characteristics and traumatic backgrounds. From Amelia, a young thief who uses her small stature and agility to sneak through forbidden areas and steal objects while grappling with the horrors of an overactive child’s imagination, to Eduardo, a burly craftsman who uses his immense strength to overcome obstacles but is haunted by his fear of the dark. Each prisoner must collaborate to face their fears and attempt to escape... hopefully, keeping their sanity intact.

These character videos are available in a playlist on YouTube, giving players a deeper look into the game's rich narrative.

The Stone of Madness is a real-time tactical stealth game set in a Spanish insane asylum in the late 18th century. Featuring stunning hand-painted visuals inspired by the art of the period, the game is set in the Pyrenees, where an old Jesuit monastery houses both an asylum and an inquisitorial prison. Five mysterious characters have been incarcerated under various pretenses. Victims of cruel punishments, madness, and despair, they must come together to plan their escape from the facility and its malevolent inhabitants, relying on each other to confront their deepest fears.
