Sultan's Game is more than just a game — it's a complete world woven together by music and words.
Deluxe Edition Content:
Base Game
Original Soundtrack: Our soundtrack is inspired by the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Uyghur Twelve Muqam. We blend traditional Xinjiang instruments - tanbûr, rewap, and gijak - with classical Chinese pipa, yangqin, and flutes, all complemented by Western orchestration. This fusion of diverse cultural voices creates the mystical desert atmosphere of Sultan's Game, enabling our story to span vast landscapes. Creating this soundscape has been an extraordinary experience - a joy we've woven into the narrative itself and hope to share with all our players.
Digital Novel: A Game for the Sultan is the original novella behind our game, penned by one of our writers. Set in the same fictional empire, this tale features elements players will instantly recognize - from the notorious Sultan Card to the cruel ruler who revels in others' torment. Within these pages lies the inspiration for our gameplay mechanics and the seeds of many in-game events and storylines.

About the Game
Sultan's Game is a dark fantasy resource management RPG inspired by the extravagant beauty and brutal intrigue of the Arabian Nights.
As a lowly minister serving an insane Sultan, you are trapped in a deadly game. Every week, a card is drawn: Carnality, Extravagance, Conquest, or Bloodshed. You have seven days to obey its demand — or face the executioner's axe.
Time is your enemy. Allocate allies and manage resources before the sand runs out. Accumulate wealth, secrets, and influence to survive the court's deadly politics. Every hour wasted brings the headsman closer.
Survival demands sacrifices. Will you slaughter innocents in the name of a Bloodshed Card? Will you betray your marital oaths for the Consort's favour? Watch in horror – or glee – as the consequences of your choices ripple through the story.
With 50+ endings, determine your legacy: die a loyal sycophant, rise as a dragon slayer, or summon the apocalypse.
Strategy, not luck, dictates your survival. Build a deck of allies, deadly tools, and dirty secrets. Deploy assets wisely to counter assassins and supernatural threats lurking in the palace shadows.
The Sultan is not the only horror here. Ancient gods watch from beyond, promising power and salvation. Piece together the cosmic truth across multiple lifetimes. Claim powers no mortal should. Bring down the apocalypse. Kill a god.
