STORY
Blackstone is a castle built for battles located in a remote area of the kingdom. Lord Conrad of Castle Blackstone was once a lionhearted knight, but is now old and sick. 

One night, Conrad was found dead in his study. And it appears that he was murdered. Knight Victoria, known as one of the lord’s most trusted confidants, is suspected to be the culprit. Witnesses saw her running out of his room covered in blood. 

Victoria flees. And of course, Castle Blackstone is on high alert. Everyone is searching for the knight that murdered Lord Conrad and fled. 

It so happens that a thief has also sneaked into the castle. His name is Rogan. By chance, Victoria runs into Rogan during her escape.

Victoria realizes that this thief is her only hope to clear her name. Believing in her innocence, Rogan decides to help Victoria find evidence of the real murderer in Castle Blackstone. 

Will Rogan be able to help her clear her name? 
Who really murdered Conrad? 

Hold your breath until the end. You may be in for a surprise.

It's been on my wishlist for a long time so I might as well take advantage of the sale as I was going to pick it up regardless. =P

On Oculus, the promotion is only 21% why?

Steam 45.49$ -33% = 30.48$ CAD

Oculus 45.99$ -21% = 35.93$ CAD

I will buy my future games on Steam ...

For european users €39.99 -40% = €23.84 in Oculus store.
                                 €33.99 -33% = €22.77 in Steam store.

Victoria looks rather cool, hopefully once you clear her name you can... invite her out for dinner at the thieves guild. At least playing as Rogan you get to see more of her. Looks fun, but not really steeped in realism with that guard radio chatter. There isn't even an Assassin's Creed like reason for that as far as I can tell. Weird game. 


System Specs: MSI NVIDIA RTX 4090 , i5 13700K CPU, 32GB DDR 4 RAM, Win 11 64 Bit OS.

My big problem is Steam or Oculus. Oculus probably brings best performance, but then I lose native Index support. Not easy...

I don't think that "native index support" is a real thing, bruh!

Anywho, this title looks fun. But I think I'm going to wait to hear community reviews. I saw the Trailer a few times, and it seems that this title will either be really fun... or such really bad. Can't tell which just yet!
