Lock & Stone
SteamSurvive the lost dwarven city of Direhold, a labyrinth locked by esoteric runes and haunted by sinister creatures. In Lock & Stone, you must combine puzzle-solving deduction skills with survival-horror combat prowess.

To survive, you must use the power of Runes. Each Rune Slate you uncover has a hidden ability that will allow you to survive the dark city. Some slates can allow you to open up locked doors, or blast enemies with flames.

Search the environment for information, decipher the hidden codes, and apply your Rune Slates to access the locks.
Direhold itself is a puzzle to solve. Exploring pathways, understanding the environment, and learning about the lore will allow you to access its secrets.
