Game looks amazing. Story, not so much. While I have experienced some frame rate issues, only when the game transitions from game play to cut scene, however, I have not experienced any performance issues during actual game play.

Why I cannot recommend this game is because the is BEYOND BORING. While I like the flow of the chapters, the foundation of the story lacks any character development. They are not likable, I don't care if any of them make it to the end. The Easter eggs of Dead by Daylight just feel forced. Only buy if you are interested in these types of story driven games, but you've been warned, you're going to be bored.

This is the biggest waste of time and money, the story made absolutely no sense with unlikable characters and even worse dialogue. The whole story was so rushed with consistent bugs and freezing cutscenes, the information that you would find on notes and/or crappy dialogue was already figured out with context clues. It has been 2 months and still no sign of fixing any major bugs, definitely a disappointment to story-rich decision based games.

It is not the Civilization game but it is worth the play. >:-P

Amazing story game for those who have already played Dead by Daylight, and looking for more on the Entity's realm. May be difficult to understand for those who haven't played Dead by Daylight before due to the amount of references. Overall pretty good game and amazing for those looking to find more on the Entity's realm.

This was a very interesting game to get into. I like the idea of having an interactive origin story showcasing how the Entity takes new survivors and killers into the fog. Although this game is choice driven, there's not too much variety in long-term choices that leave big impacts in the story earlier on. Everything feels sort of one-paced up until the later chapters. There's many different endings you can get in this game, but each one only has a few subtle changes.

To grasp how choice driven this game is; In my eyes, it's less choice driven than 'Heavy Rain', while having a more 'Telltale Games' style of choices. You pretty much get a definitive ending regardless of whatever choices you make throughout main story. I kind of wish there were more pathways and routes that could've been taken, but the game hold ups pretty well and offers a unique story that feels compelling while also being a little bit difficult to understand at times.

The game could've been much better, but it's not a bad game by any means, as I think it's just good. I pre-ordered the deluxe version when it went up on Steam, but it doesn't really change the gameplay much, besides having a few cosmetics in both this and Dead By Daylight itself, and having a small tracker for interactive elements that only works nearly half the time.

I recommend buying just the base version of this game when it goes on sale. I hope this review helps people out!

overall i enjoyed the game but i wished i could interact more with the characters

the game is a cool concept but it runs horribly on my pc :( i dont have a bad pc either...

very good game

The Casting of Frank Stone has a story that absolutely rocks. I loved how the game takes you through the gradual transformation of Frank—a character so rigidly "set in stone" at the start, only to chisel away at his personality bit by bit. Watching Frank evolve into a more dynamic and relatable character felt like witnessing a statue come to life. It’s storytelling that really sediments itself into your mind.

But let’s talk about the real challenge here: the optimization. Oh boy, this game runs as if Frank himself were powering it with a hand-crank in a quarry. Frame drops? Check. Random glitches? Double check. At one point, I was convinced Frank was moving in slow motion to match the game's performance issues. If they wanted us to experience life as a stone—immovable and unyielding—they nailed it.

The visuals are charming, the gameplay is engaging, and the narrative is surprisingly deep. But please, developers, let’s polish this gem so it shines brighter. Frank deserves better than to be stuck in a game that feels like it's running on Windows 95.

Overall, I’m stoked about the potential here. Once it’s optimized, this game will truly rock the gaming world. For now, though, it’s more of a rough pebble with a diamond hidden inside.

if you've ever played dbd then this is basically a game within that same universe except here u can actually chill & relax whilst enjoying lore connections. i ran across & saw loads of references to dbd in this game such as plushes for multiple dbd characters like hillbilly, nurse, trickster, & huntress' mask which i started to want to buy irl, a painting of the artist aka carmina, theres a lot more secrets as well. overall it plays as a heavy story driven game with very nice & realistic visuals. it has multiple endings, easter eggs & secrets as mentioned before for those who enjoy getting 100% in games
