Our take on Qasir al-Wasat: International Edition
The assassination premise receives strong emphasis, but the game also devotes substantial space to investigation, puzzles, hidden messages, overheard conversations, and treasure hunting. Players expecting a direct stealth-action mission may encounter a broader mix of exploration and mystery.
What is Qasir al-Wasat: International Edition?
Play as an invisible creature from another world sent to kill a target inside a mysterious 12th-century Syrian palace.
Stealth depends on movement, noise, blood stains, and avoiding guards, while a single blow can end the character’s life. Exploration combines trap-filled corridors, puzzles, secret routes, hidden messages, guard conversations, and ancient treasures. The mission can lead toward investigating the palace’s mysteries as well as completing the assassination. The game presents a tension between direct action and investigation, with a story involving an enigmatic sorcerer and a fortress between worlds. Its visual style draws from medieval Persian miniatures, while the soundscape is generated during play.
