## What is Stonegate?

Build the company. Descend into the dark. Bring back whoever survives.

Stonegate: The Mad Baron is a party-based first-person dungeon crawler inspired by the deliberate exploration, dangerous expeditions, and hard-earned victories of classic role-playing games.

Recruit and organize a company of six adventurers. Equip fighters, thieves, priests, mages, and rare elite classes. Explore hand-authored dungeon floors, uncover secret doors, survive traps, manage limited healing and magic, and decide when your wounded party should turn for home.

FEATURES

• Build and manage a party of six adventurers
• Explore six distinct dungeon depths
• Fight tactical, turn-based battles against grouped enemies
• Discover secret doors, treasure chambers, traps, and authored encounters
• Equip weapons, armor, and shields with clear comparisons
• Develop fighters, spellcasters, scouts, and elite classes
• Return to Stonegate to rest, recruit, trade, heal, and prepare
• Face a unique guardian on every deeper floor
• Carry one party across iPhone and iPad with private iCloud saves
• No advertising, consumable premium currency, or paid character power

Every expedition is a decision between ambition and survival. Push deeper for greater rewards, or begin the long homeward march before the dungeon takes another member of the company.

Weekly contracts now rotate across more objective types and reached depths, with live progress visible in Stonegate and Camp.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-04

Version 1.1 expands and refines the full campaign:

• Larger, more consistently sized dungeon depths with rebalanced encounters, rewards, secrets, lighting, and recovery opportunities
