Description
Moments of Calm in a Crumbling World
Drift into a world that has already ended, and find the beauty that remains.
Quiet as a Stone is a slow-paced, atmospheric toy designed for those who wish to curate moments of stillness.
Set against a backdrop of autumnal twilight and ancient history, you will explore small, procedural dioramas. From the moss on a fallen pillar to the crackle of a campfire, every element is yours to manipulate, photograph, and contemplate.
Accept transience and imperfection.
Observe: Watch the day turn to night, the weather shift from a crisp morning to rolling fog, the light casts across weathered stone, rain falls and the petrichor rises.
Interact: Click to slash through overgrowth, mine ancient stones for magic gems, and discover hidden artifacts. There is no rush. The stones have waited centuries; they can wait for you.
Create: Use your gathered gems to place trees, ruins, and foliage. Transform a barren rock into a shrine. Create, Photograph then let go.
Key Features
A Digital Canvas: A hybrid of landscape gardening and 3D diorama building. No grids, no strict rules—just organic placement of rocks, ruins, and trees.
Generative Atmosphere: A dynamic, realistic audioscape that reacts to your scene, perfect for relaxation or focus.
The Photographer’s Eye: A robust Photo Mode with controls for aperture, exposure, color grading, and filters. Capture your vignette before it fades forever.
The Cycle of Impermanence: There is no management or pressure. You visit a location, capture its beauty, and move on to the next discovery.
Subdued Aesthetics: A visual palette of ochre, olive, orange and slate. The ambience of autumn.
Is Quiet as a Stone for you?
Play this if: You love taking screenshots in games, you enjoy the sound of rain against a window, or you are looking for a low-stress "second monitor" experience to help you unwind.
Look elsewhere if: You are seeking a complex city-builder, strategy, action, or a traditional "Clicker" with exponential math progression.
All that is good must pass away
