Press release:
Hamburg, Germany – April 29, 2026 – Magin: The Rat Project Stories is out now on PlayStation 5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.

A choice-driven narrative adventure fused with strategic card combat, Magin: The Rat Project Stories connects story and gameplay in a direct and tangible way.

In Magin: The Rat Project Stories, every decision leaves a mark. Choices made during exploration, dialogue, and pivotal story moments don’t just influence the narrative – they become the very cards you carry into battle. Your deck is not built in menus, but forged through the paths you take.

Following the intertwined journeys of Elester and Tolen, Magin: The Rat Project Stories explores a dark fantasy world shaped by personal motives, fragile alliances, and emotional tension. Each decision opens new paths, encounters, and endings, making every playthrough feel distinct and personal.

Combat remains focused and deliberate, built around a compact deck that evolves naturally with the story. Combined with its hand-drawn, comic-inspired visual style, Magin: The Rat Project Stories delivers a more intimate and narrative-driven take on the deckbuilding genre – one where every card reflects the choices behind it.

Magin: The Rat Project Stories is out now for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox, and PC via Steam.
