Stone Simulator, developed and published by STFGames, is a new immersive simulation game that released on Steam on August 19th. The game aims to finally answer the ultimate question: "What is it like to just be a rock?" Just Be So I must ask: who among us, in this current date and time, does not dream of a life with no tasks, no pressure, and no taxes? An existence free from all burdens?

Gameplay Stone Simulator allows you to experience pure tranquillity, for what may be the very first time in your life.

Ritual of Raven – PC Review

The planted seeds have finally blossomed and are ready for harvesting. And not with our hands, of course!
