Sultan's Game is a dark fantasy resource management RPG. Players assume the role of a minister serving an insane Sultan, tasked with fulfilling weekly demands dictated by drawn cards: Carnality, Extravagance, Conquest, or Bloodshed. Survival hinges on careful allocation of allies and management of resources within a seven-day cycle, with failure resulting in execution. The game involves accumulating wealth, secrets, and influence to navigate courtly intrigue and counter threats through strategic card-based gameplay. It features over 50 endings and incorporates elements of cosmic horror, allowing players to interact with ancient gods across multiple lifetimes.The Digital Deluxe Edition of Sultan's Game includes the base game, the original soundtrack, and a digital novel titled "A Game for the Sultan." The soundtrack draws inspiration from Uyghur Twelve Muqam, blending traditional Xinjiang instruments with Chinese and Western orchestration to create a desert atmosphere. The digital novel, penned by one of the game's writers, is set in the same fictional empire and serves as the narrative inspiration for the game's mechanics, events, and storylines, featuring recognizable elements like the Sultan Card.
