The Casting of Frank Stone

About

The Casting of Frank Stone drops you into Cedar Hills, a town still reeling from a decades-old massacre. You play as a group of teens uncovering how their lives intersect with Frank Stone’s violent history. The story unfolds through exploration, dialogue choices, and environmental puzzles, with each decision shaping how the town’s secrets spill out. While the core narrative is driven by horror and mystery, the game leans into quiet moments of tension more than jump scares, balancing eerie atmosphere with character-driven drama. Supermassive Games’ signature branching paths return here, though the real draw is the co-op mode that lets friends split up to tackle different perspectives. With over 30 possible endings, the game rewards replayability, though some players found the pacing uneven in mid-act sections. Launching on PS5, Xbox, and PC in September 2024, it’s a shorter but tightly crafted entry from the team behind The Dark Pictures, offering collaborative scares for those who like their horror with a side of moral dilemmas.
