Morality twisting new strategy RPG Sultan's Game is a dark and diabolical treat

What lengths would you go to if your life was on the line? In cruel new strategy RPG Sultan's Game, you're caught up in a twisted game of death where you must question your own morality to stay one step ahead of the eponymous ruling figure. Already proving a winner among the Steam Next Fest crowd last year, developer Double Cross has just given PCGamesN a fresh look at what's in store. I've spent several hours pursuing all manner of dark deeds, and I'm already hooked on its tantalising loop. If you're curious for a taste, there's even a demo you can play right now.

Crowdfunding Milestone Reached! Digital Novel Confirmed!

Thank you for your support! The crowdfunding on MoDian has reached all goals, so we are preparing a digital novel DLC! We will implement CG Gallery Mode after release. All supporters can get the DLC for free, and for those who are also interested in that but didn't join the crowdfunding, it's still available on Steam in both Chinese and English.

[h3]A Game Befitting The Sultan(Working Title)[/h3]

The origin of Sultan's Game, written by one of the game's writers, taking place in a fictional Sultan's empire. Those who have played our game may find it has many similarities, such as "Sultan Card", and "Sadistic Tyrant"; you may also take a little peek at the source of mechanism design, and even find some prototypes of rituals and events. It's a short story, with more texts than the game shows, while also differentiating in storytelling. When we wrote it down, we never ever expected that it could be a game. It's like a spark, a spark that managed to lead into a big bang. It's our pleasure to share our humble – and perhaps, naive – beginnings with all of you, hope you will like it. 🙂

Thank you very much for your support and patience. We will bring more information about the official release soon, stay tuned!

Happy New Year & Devlog


Dear players,

We're happy to announce that we're joining the Chinese New Year celebration event. Sorry to keep you all waiting for the full version of the game and for the radio silence regarding the development. Believe us, we're working hard on getting everything ready for The Grand Release, stay tuned!

Also, we’d like to share an update on our development progress.

This week, we completed the most complex part of the game: the full story and levels for the “Change the Dynasty”. This is a scenario we’ve dreamed of countless times, and bringing it to life has been both thrilling and exhausting. With so many branches and events packed into this ending, even ourselves can’t exhaustively test every condition. We’re confident that players striving to overthrow tyranny will feel properly rewarded for their efforts.


As development for Sultan’s Game enters its final phase, we’ve completed the level design for most other ending routes and are continuing to refine the content. Each ending will feature multiple branching storylines, and the workload—writing, scripting, designing—is enormous. But the team remains enthusiastic and determined to deliver a product we can be proud of.


Meanwhile, we’re diving deeper into the branching storyline centered around the themes of Insights, Cult, The Righteous Path. This is an extensive and standalone plotline leading to its own unique ending. Through gods and their emissaries, we aim to explore some metaphysical ideas. However, as expected, gods are demanding beings. The Pure Ones and the Hidden God are at odds, and you must choose whom to worship—unless your power rivals that of the gods themselves... or you find allies willing to seize the opportunity…


We’re happy to share that most of character concepts are already complete. We’ll be revealing them gradually on social media soon. The game’s UI and environments have undergone (yet another) round of updates, and many characters’ stories are being implemented now.


That’s all for this progress report! While the remaining time feels limited for building the perfect story we envision, based on the current progress, we’re confident we can deliver a complete game by the end of Q1.

We hope you are as excited as we are for the official release and we wish you a wonderful Year of the Snake!
