Limited Run Games, a prominent publisher known for bringing acclaimed indie titles to physical media, has officially announced plans for a special edition physical release of The Stone of Madness on Nintendo Switch.
This marks a significant milestone for fans eager to own a tangible copy of this unique tactical stealth experience, which first launched as a digital download on the Nintendo eShop in January 2025. The upcoming physical edition will be available exclusively as a special edition bundle.
Each package is set to include the game cartridge, a premium slipcover, a digital art book, and the original soundtrack, offering collectors and enthusiasts a comprehensive set of extras that celebrate both the artistry and atmosphere of The Stone of Madness. Set within the haunting halls of an 18th-century Jesuit monastery nestled in the Pyrenees, The Stone of Madness places players in control of five tormented prisoners: Agnes, Leonora, Eduardo, Amelia, and Alfredo.
Tasked with escaping the monastery’s oppressive walls, players will alternate between characters, leveraging their distinct and upgradable abilities to solve puzzles, cast spells, perform stealth takedowns, and explore forbidden areas.
The game’s core mechanic revolves around real-time, tactical gameplay that demands thoughtful planning and creative problem-solving. A major element that distinguishes The Stone of Madness is its nuanced portrayal of mental health.
Each character possesses a unique set of traumas and phobias that directly impact gameplay.
Failing to manage these psychological states can result in the onset of detrimental conditions like paranoia, dementia, or violent outbursts, fundamentally altering how the character behaves and adding a layer of challenge and narrative depth. The game also offers two distinctive escape scenarios, each presenting different story arcs, objectives, and surprises.
Players must make strategic use of day and night cycles; while daytime provides opportunities for exploration and distraction, nighttime is fraught with supernatural threats and stricter security.
These choices give every playthrough a fresh sense of urgency and consequence. Visually, The Stone of Madness distinguishes itself with a hand-painted art style that draws inspiration from the works of Spanish master Francisco de Goya.
The isometric perspective not only highlights the intricate visuals but also immerses players in a world that feels both painterly and hauntingly atmospheric. Pre-orders for The Stone of Madness special edition on Nintendo Switch are set to open from January 16, 2026.
For enthusiasts and collectors, this edition offers a rare opportunity to secure a complete physical package of one of the Nintendo eShop’s most distinctive tactical stealth titles.
