Five years of silence. One radical idea.
If you’ve been following Black Potion since the days of Khan VS Kahn, you might have noticed we’ve been… quiet. No updates. No announcements. No explanations.
That wasn’t abandonment. That was incubation.
We’ve Been Building Something Different
Khan VS Kahn was about strategy, competition, and immediate gratification. What we’re working on now is the opposite of everything we’ve made before.
It’s called Granite Noir: The Social Experiment.
And it’s not a game you play. It’s a game you create.
Here’s What We Can Tell You
- You enter a dark room
- There’s a monolith of black granite
- A timer counts down: 02:00:00
- When it reaches zero, you make one wish
- We implement that wish. Forever.
- You never get a second chance
That’s it. That’s the entire game at launch.
Every player who comes after you will experience what you chose to add—or destroy. Your wish becomes permanent. Engraved in digital stone. Part of the game’s DNA forever.
This Isn’t Early Access
We’re not selling you a promise of future content. We’re selling you the power to create that content.
The first 100 players won’t find a complete game. They’ll find an empty room and the weight of infinite possibility.
Some will love us for this. Most will hate us. Both reactions are correct.
Why Are We Doing This?
Because we wanted to know what happens when you give players complete creative control. No curation. No vetoes. No safety net.
Every wish gets implemented. The good ones. The chaotic ones. The brilliant ones. The ones that break everything.
This is collaborative game design as performance art. This is Stanley Parable meets social experiment. This is game development turned inside out.
This is Granite Noir.
What Happens Next
Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing more about the philosophy, the technical systems, and the madness behind this project.
For now, all you need to know is this: Black Potion is back. And we’re about to do something we’ve never seen anyone attempt before.
The monolith is waiting.
Granite Noir: The Social Experiment is coming to Steam. Wishlist it here if you want to be among the first to shape what this becomes.
Or don’t. Either way, the experiment begins soon.
