Devlog: Update Wrap-Up
The noise system will now work not just for your enemies, but your character as well, allowing you to better plan out your actions. As you explore the surface or dungeons, youll be able to hear enemy activity, which will mark their location on your screen. The chance of hearing the enemy depends on their actions and your Perception: enemy steps are the hardest to detect, but the noise from a fight will be heard from many tiles away.
Berry bushes will come in handy if your character is starving. Depending on the biome, youll be able to encounter six berry types: bilberry, raspberry, blueberry, lingonberry, gooseberry, and barberry.
Two new characters will be added to the game: Bran the Trapper and Unar the Scribe. The trapper will periodically appear in either Osbrook or Mannshire, offering you some hunting gear, including the new traps. Unar the Scribe can be found selling treatises in the Mannshire castle - youll be able to shop from him after completing three Osbrook contracts and gaining access to the castle.
Weve added a number of new narcotic substances to the game. Consuming them provides powerful buffs for a short period of time, however youll have to pay for them with a long and painful aftermath.
The enemy roster has also been expanded: this update will add 10 new brigand enemies, armed with two-handed maces and axes, and a few new minibosses, including the skeleton ones - eliminating the latter will be a part of a new contract. Thats all for now. Until the next time!

Stoneshard Linux [245.94 M]
Stoneshard is a challenging turn-based RPG set in an open world. Experience the unforgiving life of a medieval mercenary: travel across the war-torn kingdom, fulfill contracts, fight, mend your wounds and develop your character without any restrictions.
EXPLORE THE RAVAGED LANDS
- Open World
War always leaves its mark: villages lie in ruins, dungeons are infested with monsters and old roads are abandoned. Travel across Aldor and learn more about its past. - Economy
The wartime economy is ruthless, but it also presents many opportunities: fulfill contracts, hunt for treasure, trade in a variety of goods and travel the land to earn your fortune.
CHOOSE YOUR PATH
- Character Development
Experiment with 100+ abilities and 200+ equipment pieces without any class or level restrictions. Create your very own playstyle! - Enemy Variety
Take part in intense battles against numerous factions. Brigands, abominable cults, the undead - all of them require a unique approach. - Tactical Battles
There is no hand-holding. Only the thoughtful ones shall prevail - plan a few turns ahead, adapt to your surroundings and fully utilize your character’s strengths.
SURVIVE AGAINST THE ODDS
- Health System
Master the simple but deep health system: cauterize bleeding wounds, relieve pain with alcohol and drugs, practice bloodletting and heal your maladies with various concoctions. - Psyche
Different in-game situations have a distinct influence on your character’s mental condition. High morale may turn the tide in your favor when fighting even the most hopeless of battles, while low sanity brings panic attacks and paranoia. - Permadeath
Do you like risk? Then try out the Ironman mode, where every decision is irreversible and your character dies once and for all.

its price. Are you ready to make a pact? - Campaign
