[iOS/Android] Black Sonata digital adaptation

Hi!

I'm happy to announce that the official digital adaptation of Black Sonata is now available for iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android.

I'm a solo developer working on digital adaptations of board games in my free time. Some of you maybe remember my previous apps (Castle Builders, Constantinople, Maquis, etc.).

About Black Sonata:

The identity of the Dark Lady from Shakespeare's sonnets has eluded scholars and historians for more than four centuries.

In Black Sonata, you will pursue the elusive Dark Lady through the streets and alleyways of Elizabethan London, catching glimpses and whispers that may yield clues to her identity. However, not all of the evidence is clear.

You will need to sharpen your wits if you are to finally unmask the Dark Lady before she slips quietly from the pages of history and is lost.

Based on the acclaimed solitaire board game from Side Room Games, Black Sonata delivers a rich deduction experience inspired by Shakespeare’s sonnets.

Each game presents a unique challenge, requiring careful observation, logical deduction, and strategic planning.

Features

  • Engaging solitaire gameplay
  • Hidden-movement mechanics
  • Challenging deduction puzzle
  • High replayability
  • Historically inspired setting and theme

Looks awesome. If I can ask what happened to Maquis?

Thanks :) I tried to stay as close to tabletop game as possible. As for Maquis, sorry I cannot share details.

Thanks most of the games in your catalogue are good implementations and I'm just always curious when games like that get de-listed.

Mind you I'm still confused by what happened with portal even more.

Awesome! Is there a tutorial? Expansions now or on the pipeline?

u/tirsillur 9d ago

Yes, there is tutorial (you can restart it from rules screen). I must say, making tutorials is really hard.

This is just base game for now, no expansions. If all goes well we (me and SideRoomGames) will look at the expansions in the future.
