Good fit- Horror RPG players who want investigation mixed with branching narrative choices

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a tightly linear story rather than six routes with divergent characters and endings
- Players wanting a brief, single-session adventure rather than a story spanning more than 10 hours and 30 in-game days
- Players looking for a pure survival-horror game without role-playing, comedy, romance, and action elements
Our take on Whitestone
Its defining structure is a 30-day airship voyage in which player choices branch into six routes, changing not only the ending but also the protagonists, enemies, combat emphasis, and storyline.
What is Whitestone?
Whitestone follows Jack, an archaeology apprentice aboard the Sunchaser airship during its Arctic capstone voyage.
After his quarters are searched and a friend vanishes, suspicion falls on him as strange events spread through the crew. The game combines investigation, role-playing, horror, action, comedy, and romance across 30 in-game days and a story lasting more than 10 hours. Choices shape six routes with different characters, story emphasis, combat levels, enemies, storylines, and endings. Jack can study, assist crewmates, attend social events, or make darker decisions. Twenty crewmates offer side quests, while weapons and elemental abilities support combat across eight themed levels. NewGame+ raises difficulty while retaining items, statistics, and money.
